Mannish Tribes

Originally there were thirteen Mannish Tribes on Edorlund. They warred with eachother and with the land until Atama came and united them, and throughout the history of The Dominion of Men people could relate themselves to an ancient tribe - even today the Men on Sentres consider themselves as belonging to a tribe, but the differences are not as apparent now as they were on Edorlund. You may notice that many of the tribes' names do not follow standard Mannish spelling or gramatical rules. This is because when the tribes gained their names they each had varied and separate (though often related) languages.

The Awakenings
The Awakenings (Ðeri Awacaas) are the four awakenings in which Men were placed on The Haligeard. They were awakened over four months, in the Anirawaac, Tverawaac, Trenawaac, and Feyawaac. The diagram on this page shows which tribes came from these awakenings.

The Lost Tribes
The Lost Tribes (Ðeri Losamaegaþas) were seven (over half) of the original 13 Mannish Tribes who sailed into the north before the coming of Atama. It is known that they travelled north during the Dark Age on 14 ships, and that two of the ships (carrying the Anyrycun Tribe) was lost at sea. This is known because an escape boat carried 11 of the Anyrycun back to Edorlund, and their tale was told to great mourning in the new city of Atamar. It is now known that the remaining 6 lost tribes made it to Sentres. You can find out more about the lost tribes Here. The lost tribes were: Anyrycun, Raanungga, Djiyongez, Ðoðaðaun, Raekoros, Þolunk, and Nyashingas.

The Main Tribes
The Main Tribes (Ðeri Nachamaegaþas) were the six tribes who were united by Atama and prevailed throughout the First Age of Man and beyond. The tribes were: Frynunc (Frynuningas), Zalong (Zalingas), Faarings (Faaringas), Zeshtucos (Zeshtingas), Dzyrcun (Dzyringas), Balishas (Balingas). The name in the bracket is the Mannish standard in Sentres today, while the name outside the bracket is what they were called in their own tongues.
