Plain nomads

Plain nomads is a designation given to semi-nomadic Dragon Heart people living in the vast plains to the East of the Central Andes, most of them speaking Low Izanian dialects. Having had only rare direct interaction with alpacas, they have been reluctant to adopt the Izanian religion, most of them still practicing traditional animist beliefs. On top of occasional hunting and foraging, they herd large pack animals such as the Toxodon, the largest of which - having been bred for their size - are able to support a small room on their back, serving as the nomad's personal quarters. Also, while interactions between nomads themselves and sedentary farmers are minimal, it isn't unusual to see some of their animals going loose, ravaging the farmers' plantations.

The plains are sometimes home to large, short-lived nomadic confederations, quickly collapsing back into individual tribes quarrelling for precious grasslands for their herds to graze.
