Poaset

Poaset is a sprawling grassland in the north surrounded by Opulet Mountain to the north, The Slopelands to the east, the Treelands to the south, and Entamiret to the west. Before the human exodus from the Primian Jungle, the grasslands were dominated by feral dog packs and countless birds of prey. The humans that first settled in the Poaset established a camp at the waters edge and over many generations developed and perfected many Iribesk firsts, including the clay brick, riverboat warfare, the domestication of canines, grassweaving, and large scale farming.

The grasstribes easily fought off the dog packs and found themselves with an abundance of fresh water, wide open space, and no natural enemies. In stark contrast to human life among the Primians, life in Poaset was leisurely and egalitarian, and in a few decades nearly all humans had left the Primian Jungle and resettled in either the western Treelands or the plains of Poaset.

Early grasstribes coexisted easily and were able to relate on many key cultural foundations. They all built homes and buildings with clay bricks and woven grass, they all used domesticated birds and dogs for many aspects of life, they all spoke the same language with few regional dialects, and they all have a residual fear and mistrust of their Primian neighbors.

The key tribes of Poaset are referred to as Dogtribe, and Bricktribe, each identifying as the greater Grasstribe. Within those tribes are smaller factions, and some Grasstribe identify as neither Dog nor Bricktribe.
