News coming from the North
In the past couple of months, following renewed the outbreak of the war with the Khasholo, some Kuri//aes decided to venture north into the Awawaheke and its green plateaus, mainly hunters, farmers and herders.
There are many reasons for that:
Firstly, farmland is scarce in the Gaunasub. Many farmers and herders from the Gams and Awamab clans also deemed it unfair that the Gomas had plenty farmland in the Hais!uti while they only had small oasis and patches in this dry landscape. A couple of them decided to move to the north because of that, despite its very difficult terrain. The Gaunais may also be an option now due to the defeat of the Somotho, but not many want to move there as its sacred and often ravaged by droughts.
Secondly, the war with the Khasholo could put them at the risk of pillaging and lifestock-loss. The Serriaes further north are more friendly in that regard.
Thirdly, many wild animals and creatures have been roaming the untamed area between Serriaes and Kuriaes. Making this area more secure became the task of hunters, who are able to profit off the slow migration.
For now it is only thinly populated, with some Kuriaes establishing animal posts close to Serriaes, effectively becoming immediate neighbors.
The area has caught the interest of many headmen too. And this previously completely wild land is slowly being developed...
