Yikizzi Tribe
The Yikizzi Tribe were a nomadic group of Yam`rii who, despite the changing technological use of their fellow Yam`rii, retained the ancient traditions of their ancestors. The tribal structure was based on a eusocial heirarchy, with every member contributing to specific areas.
The allocation of labor was based upon the color of the Yam`rii. The Gix`zix (Gray Ones) maintained the history of the tribe, made decisions for the tribe, and preformed the Tchidiz Ritual. The Chiz`zix (Brown Ones) gathered building materials and constructed dwellings and traps. The Ric`zix (Green Ones) were the tribal hunters, supplying the tribe with food. On extremely rare occasions, a yellow Yam`rii would survive the Tchidiz ritual. The emergence of a Dheezich (Eye of Anger) was a dire portent for the tribe, typically meaning war was on the horizon. The Dheezich were rumored to have magical powers, and be able to see into the future.
Tribal Customs
The Yikizzi did not believe in wasting resources. They used every part of their kills, and never took more than was needed. While this limited the types of creatures that they hunted, it also helped to keep the location of the tribe secret. Leaving behind waste would have allowed trackers to catch the tribe easier. When a member would die, the tribe would gather to eat the remains and bury any portion that was inedible.
Yikizzi custom also affected the names of the members themselves, with the first name being the name of the caste they belonged to. A secondary name was chosen after the Tchidiz Ritual, which was used to direct communication toward a specific member. The reasoning behind this was to help suppress individualism, so that the member continued to place the tribal needs before personal ones.
