Vakaser Herders

A tribe of semi-nomadic Kobolds, ruled by a central figure, the Vakast of the group. The Vakaser are most familiar with the Southern Gaunasub Desert, where they maintain some permanent camps, considering it their territory more akin to how wild animals will hold land than through any lense of national sovereignty. For purposes of pillaging and trading however, they have been known to even send small parties to travel vast distances on land. Most frequently they raid and occupy the stationary settlements of other peoples or fight them for water sources, namely native village tribes and the Kuri//aes, with whom they keep irregular relations.

History

Arrival in Gaunasub

It is currently not known when the tribe arrived in the Gaunasub Desert, but it is assumed that they are the descendants of a Clan expulsed from the Covenant of Grusaak. Further inquires to the Kobolds of the Covenant and the Kaptein of the Krui/aes might shed some light on their history.

Political system

The Vakast

The Vakaser Kobolds do not follow the principle of the separation of powers, quite the opposite in fact. The tribal leadership is trusted entirely to the Vakast, a position of universal authority. There is no code of law to legitimise this power as it is soley based on which Kobold, undead or alive, has the support of those that are best able to cheat, talk and brutalize their surroundings into submission. This group of supporters, known as the Vakasts "Herders", is usually given some slight privileges, like more comfortable housing and being excempt from doing unpopular chores, but are otherwise not treated much different from the less capable or outstanding tribe members. The most significant boon the Vakast gives out is their spiritual protection to the whole tribe. To be worthy of this duty the Vakast must always seem to have the greatest influence with magical beigns - both imagined and real -, have the greatest collection of occult trinkets and charms and have a powerful patron deity. As long as they are the one most capable of performing this perceived service the rest of the tribe, they are repayed in trust, privilege and power.

Internal and External Hierarchy

Excluding the singular position of Vakast, all Kobolds in the tribe are fairly equal. The Herder does not eat any food the regular Vakaser cannot have and does not get a more favourable place in raids, the same way the sane Undead are not considered something less than an able-bodied living Kobold, even if they relegated to special "Living Graves", while in the permanent settlements. The Vakaser are remarkle in their general sense of unity and upward docility in parts because they have a strong idea of their group identity, the unfying influence of their figurhead and believe they are constantly under assault from evil spirits, bad luck and other supernatural forces.
