The people of the mountains are mostly solitary, if not alone, in tiny villages. Their people don’t spend much time in their homes, moving around their “territory” about a three mile radius around their homes, gathering foods and making connections. The radii is highly tended too, the wild plants and animals living and growing there are influenced, creating food forests and healthier animals.

It’s popular for these roaming radii to intersect at all edges with a neighbor.

Billie: What do you mean I don't have a house?

I mean I wanted to play a legacy challenge but didn't feel like playing on one of those huge lots.

When a young person of the mountain people comes of age to go out on their own, they do, going out a wandering. They settle their own radii of land, creating a small open air home, somewhere to rest and store their belongings.

When a young person (or maybe not so young) decide that it’s time to find a partner a few things will happen. Men will begin to decorate the area leading to their homes with things (much like a bower bird.) Women will gather their things into a pack and strike out once more to find a mate.

After finding a radii that catches their attention they will stick around, sharing the abode of the man (and traditionally going out and living there for a few months before actually spending time with the owner of the radii itself) The men will continue to add to the beauty of their decorations, leaving gifts for the woman (or women) in their radii.

During this time the woman may go between multiple radii, and she may leave one or multiple at any time if she so pleases. When she finally finds someone who she wants to meet she will stay in the home and not leave until he comes home. Then they will meet and speak and court. She may still leave at any time. A few more months of this and the couple will usually decide if they will pair off.

After they are paired off, the woman will make an addition to the home, and this shows that no women looking for a mate are welcome.

(Women may decorate their territory if they are looking for a female partner, and Men may go striking out if they are looking for a male partner. In these same sex relationships, there is usually an effort made for chance meetings to happen, though the true meeting usually doesn’t happen until a few months just like opposite sex couples.)

Oormah the Pibbin and Kcee the Klafi, gladly together with their daughter Suu making an appearance.

Pibbins and Klafi, two plainslander species that try to avoid each other when they can. Their lifestyle and culture is very different, but every once in a while norms will split and a bi-species family will come about. The body formation between the two species is very different, which can lead to many birth defects or unexpected outcomes.

Oormah is a Pibbin matron, a female with a harem. Which is customary and v regular for Pibbins. She has a well established harem with mates that stay with her all year round, something not many Pibbin matrons achieve. One of these mates is Kcee.

Kcee is a Klafi hart, an adult male. He is living a very different life than the one he grew up in. Klafi customarily are nomadic and take one mate. He is living in the small Pibbin town, built mostly of descendants of Oormah’s ancestral line. He is not the only full time mate of Oormah, which is something he has trouble with sometimes, but the couple works through it.

Suu is their daughter, rare to hear of and even rarer to see. She has two sets of eyes, like her mother, instead of the vestigial eyes of the Klafi. Even though she has them, she is partially blind in her second set of eyes. She has six limbs, the middle pair are a sort of mix between arms and legs, she uses them to knuckle walk and can grab things with them.
