The Kafervolk are made up of many once-disparate tribes that were chased from their homes and grouped together by the tidal wave of destruction that was the Sundering. They wandered the land of Aldwa chased by the many horrors birthed by the event, refugees in a land that was once theirs. For the first few decades, the people tried many times to settle in one place and rebuild their lives only to be forced to flee once again.

The Kafervolk Caravan
Kafervolk Fashion
The Kafervolk trade for most of their clothing, resulting in a hodge-podge of mismatched cultures and styles. The clothing they do make is typically armor or hats made from the Jatziri’s iridescent chitinous plates. You can always tell a member of the Kafervolk tribe from the ball they wear prominently displayed on their person. The thurible is a small container made of metal (sometimes wood, chitin, or leather) which holds a special alchemical mixture. While its smell is undetectable to people, the Jatziri can sense the vapors it gives off, marking the wearer as a member of the swarm. The mixture only lasts a few days and must be replenished regularly for safety. The thurible is often decorated to denote the cluster the wearer was born into.

Grandmother Zitembe is Elected
The current Grandmother of the caravan was elected ten years ago. Kafervolk Grandmother Zitembe Cimber was the Auntie of a prominent gathering and exploration cluster. She watched as many of her people went out into the world, never to return. Over the years she built up a repertoire of tales she used to teach her cluster how to survive on their missions into ruins and the wilderness. While she ran things, the death rate dropped as the success rate rose, and her cluster was able to keep the trade clusters stocked with valuable relics. A level headed leader that always puts the safety of her people first, she was a natural choice for Grandmother. Now she brings her survival knowledge to the whole of the caravan.

The Return of the Settlevolk
The jatziri led the caravan to a great door in the side of a mountain thrumming with runic majesty. The people knocked, but there was no answer. It was only later as they sailed away that the door opened, and the people of Pelolia emerged for the first time in decades. A group of explorers looped back to meet these Settlevolk. A new connection in the trade network was made that day, adding a new stop to the cycle of the road.

The Founding of The Path
here are many stories of this time and they all vary wildly. Some clusters spread the tale of a great hero of The Golden Road who led them to a settlement that was once a grand harbor. The sundering tore the ground and stole the sea, grounding all of its ships– ships that went on to become caravels. It was then that, in the distance, people witnessed the living road that was the jatziri: a physical embodiment of The Golden Road. They watched in awe as it carved a path into the world, a path that they would learn to follow after much trial and error.
