MuoGe

MuoGe (pronounced "Mwoah-Guh") makes up most of the land of the Frigid North. It is filled with clans of nomadic hunters and herders who travel in large hordes accross the landscape. Each horde is ruled by a Khan.

Climate and Geography
MuoGe has blizzard conditions most days and is refered to by some as the "Frozen Desert" because snow drifts pile up like sand dunes. However, on the southern border of MuoGe that borders the great desert, the land quickly dissolves into a treacherous landscape of mud and quicksand. In this area, temperatures can rise up to near 100 F depending on how close to the desert you walk.

Culture
There are four main hordes in MuoGe, each at war with the next. Because of the sparse resources in the land, these Clans often have horseback skirmishes at the glades of the Frozen Desert. The winner of these battles not only obtain the resources of the glade, but the equipment and horses of fallen foes.

The families in each clan are patriarchal yet the power of the family is dependent on the number of daughters the family can give away. With each daughter that is given away through contracted marriage, the groom's family will receive a fraction of the bride family's herd while the bride family will receive a dowry of finely crafted goods.
