History
In the north of Elibe, sandwiched between the harsh tundra of Ilia, and the treacherous mountains of Bern, lies a vast land of plains known as Sacae. Whereas most of the other nations of Elibe developed into rigid monarchies, the people of Sacae looked at life differently, and developed their society around a tribalism model. After the hero Hartmut defeated the dragons during the Scouring, the Sacaen hero, Hanon, became leader of all the nomads and led them into a new golden age.
Over time, parts of the great tribe broke off into their own clans, eventually leaving the Djute and Kutolah tribes as the dominant clans on the land. The clans lived a tense but relatively peaceful existence, but soon that all changed with the invasion of Bern in the year 999.
