Rohibonic Tribes[]

In more recent history during the Dragonwake they joined the Morbani in fleeing the Gawedi tribe.
- Arami: the mythical peoples who actually followed Ara in life. Once nomadic like their predecessors, they settled in the Damescrown region alongside Ara herself, becoming the progenitors of the Crownsmen.
