The "Nation of the Reborn" or "Phoneix Nation" is a tribe of about 1,200 strong and counting. The nation was formed about 50 years after the initial frost dusted the world. Located far west, Phoneix Nation (PN) has claimed many former states as its territory. Those states being the original 13 colonies, with Maryland being considered "Holy Ground."
PN is run by 12 "Lords of Cinder." Each "Lord" rules over 100 citizens with a new "Lord" being chosen whenever the number runs over. Never referred to by name, the Lords are only known but their number (I.E. 1 of 12, 2 of 12, etc) The Lords rule in one of the states of their chosen with Maryland being considered "Neutral Ground." PN rules with equality and unity of all it's citizens in mind. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" is the motto that every PN born citizen learn at a young age. Those that are adopted into the tribe is taught their ways by a resident or by the Lords themselves. Most outsiders learn to go with the flow and obey after about week. Those that don't are stripped of their rights and used, however, the Lords see fit. This is not only just for outsiders as records shown that any resident going against the status quo are also subjected to scrutiny.
PN has stayed in power against many hostile forces from animal attacks to Infested ones with the use of their finely crafted flamethrowers. Each citizen that prove their loyalty is given one as a form of status and stability.
With a Nation this large and no means of stopping, four satellite tribes have been formed and sent out to perform various tasks. Dragon's Nest, Helio's Chariots, Ra's Commandos, and Fire Ants. These four tribes are assigned a cardinal direction and sent out for about 5 years in search of new resources, settlements or allies that are willing to integrate into their mix. These Tribes are lead by "Chiefs" that are chosen by the Lords due to their previous achievements.
Dragon's Nest is known for their Trackers and use of Flamethrowers to defend themselves from every danger thrown at them. Lead by Chief Ironsides, Dragon's Nest had traveled East in search of new survivors that can be brought back to bolster their own population. Chief Ironsides is a woman of many legends ranging from saving her family from an Infested Drone attack to Leading the March north to 4 of 12's land in Maine to organize a festival in their name over the victory of fighting off some raiders.
Helio's Chariots is known for their healers and Herders that support the population solely on their medicinal herbs and Elk herds that they watch over. Lead by Cheif Sandstone, Helio's Chariots traveled South in search of warmer lands to better raise their plants and herds. It is considered an impossible task but Chief Sandstone is confident he will find something to bring back hope for his people. Chief Sandstone was the leading medic in fighting back infections due to dead bodies being left to rot over in the frost outside of camps. Chief Sandstone was the one to first suggest they just roast the bodies and consume whatever is left during the down season when the herds had produced their next set of calfs and the next harvest season was some time away.
Ra's Commandos is known for their seasoned fighters and striker units that serve as the Iron Fist of Phoneix Nation. Lead by Chief Winters, Ra's Commandos travel North into the harsher climates to combat against the raider units that infiltrated most of that region. Doing most of their attacks in the cover of night, The commandos of perfected a series of calls and clicks that almost imitate those of the Infected to not only give out orders to the other units but to also instill fear into their enemies. At the age of 17, Cheif Winters was the one to lead his group of 12 Teens during their "Coming of Age challenge" They were tasked with bringing back either 5 Stalkers, 20 Drones or 1Trojan. The stakes were high as failure would either result in death (The most honorable route) or being disgraced and stripped of their rights. It was a surprise to many, including the Lords of Cinder when Chief Winters returned with not only 20 Drones but the 5 Stalkers as well. He aid he would have gone after the Trojan if only the had the resources to successfully bring one down without major casualties. Ever since Chief Winters has had the first pick of new warriors that finished their Trials and trained those that are getting ready to start theirs.
Fire Ants are known for their aggressive natures and ruthless tactics against their fellow people. Lead by Chief Turmoil, Fire Ants stick closer to home or follow in the tracks of their fellow satellite tribes. They serve as the enforcers of the Tribal ways and deal with anyone that dare to defy the Lords. Mainly using fear tactics, Fire Ants try not to cause permanent damage to Citizens but outsiders get the fullest length of their cruelty. Chief Turmoil is a woman with many ideas and Beliefs. She once served as a scribe for the former 2 of 12 during his travels to the other Lord's lands. Turmoil believes full heartedly that "The Way of Fire" is the only way for their people to survive and anyone that gets in the way is out to kill them all. Chief Turmoil is seen as the ideal citizen and her zealous faith the nightmare are all outsiders. Though usually accompanied by her most trusted advisors, Chief turmoil is said to be unpredictable in her harassment and torture of Outsiders when in a bad mood. Considered the most cultured of the four Chiefs, Turmoil enjoys fine arts and cuisine whenever she is allowed to indulge in such pleasantries.
