The Niaska are a peaceful people, compared to the other barbarian hordes and tribes that dwell in Creation. They do not start wars or battles and they never pillage and raid. Under the tutelage and mentorship of their Lunar Exalted God and his Niaska-ja, they have learned honor, glory and justice in a peaceful way, without leaving their barbarian heritage. Long ago, they were the weak of the tribes, strong enough to survive, weak enough to be distraught every time another tribe decided to use them for their own purposes. With the coming of their Lunar Exalted God and his warriors, they learned how to hide, how to fight with stealth and cunning and wisdom, instead of brutality and savagery. They are one of the few tribes that have learned a peaceful path, and their God would sooner perish than watch them suffer again the vicious path of the other barbarian hordes. At times, civilization is honorless, but there is a truth to it as well.

The Niaska are a peaceful people, compared to the other barbarian hordes and tribes that dwell in Creation. They do not start wars or battles and they never pillage and raid. Under the tutelage and mentorship of their Lunar Exalted God and his Niaska-ja, they have learned honor, glory and justice in a peaceful way, without leaving their barbarian heritage. Long ago, they were the weak of the tribes, strong enough to survive, weak enough to be distraught every time another tribe decided to use them for their own purposes. With the coming of their Lunar Exalted God and his warriors, they learned how to hide, how to fight with stealth and cunning and wisdom, instead of brutality and savagery. They are one of the few tribes that have learned a peaceful path, and their God would sooner perish than watch them suffer again the vicious path of the other barbarian hordes. At times, civilization is honorless, but there is a truth to it as well. They have learned this.
