The Qarashi Tribe

The Qarashi tribe is the tribe of the Inshuu Steppe to which Yarik and Annuka belonged before joining the Order of the Last Light. Like most tribes of the Inshuu Steppe, the Qarashi tribe relies on herds of wild oxen, but the herds were dying off. Many of the Qarashi joined other tribes until only Yarik and Annuka were left. During a Janaal, where the best fighters of each tribe competed to encourage more intermixing of tribes, Yarik and Annuka remained undefeated. When an acolyte told them about the Order of the Last Light, they left the Inshuu Steppe and their now-extinct tribe to become paladin.
