Cherusci Culture

The Cherusci have been a common trading partner for Galatia for as long as records go. For that time, the tribes of Cheruscia, led by Donatii and their Convenir waged brutal war over land and the productive class of people. It is common for wars to be fought over single villages that produce nice products, with the crafts folk and merchants being treated as spoils of war.

In recent history, a Fire God has taken control of a vast majority of tribes, unifying the Cherusci in an unprecedented fashion. With the help of Conale Tehenu

Castes are usually well isolated. Cities are organized to encourage this isolation, with different gates into the city, and different quarters of the city being nearly restricted to specific casts.

War is the one exception to the isolation rule. Donatii take part in war, in direct contrast to the current state of Galatia and Meridia. They are frequently seen in battle fighting the opposing God, with the help of their Keres and Convenir.


 * Caste System:
 * Gods
 * What people of the east call Gods reign in Cheruscia, they dominate their lessors, delegating most of the ruling to the second tier,
 * Keres (singular Ker):
 * Keres are the hand picked 'Death Goddesses' of the Cherusci, who they unleash on their enemies. For a long time these Ker were all separated by the tribes. Recently, they've been brought together and formed a formidable team. They are what is referred to as Godwraiths in the eastern parts of the world.
 * Convenir:
 * Magic Users, blessed by the Donatii, act as governors (satraps?) and collect taxes. They are also the primary war fighters, directing combat with the help of the highest of the warrior class.
 * Warrior Class:
 * Warriors have a sub class system that is hierarchically linked to rank. There is movement within these classes as soldiers prove themselves physically
 * Everyone else:
 * Merchants, farmers and all other laborers are at the bottom of the caste system.
