The Hoinari

The Hoinari are currently an NPC group of people and they are currently not being accepted as character types. He do have plans to evenually open them as a faction. When we do open them, we will announce it on the website and the game, and provide more information on them.

The Hoinari have no one nation which they call home. Rather, they are groups of wandering clans that establish temporary homes where they see fit. Some may remain in one place for only a couple of days, others may linger for as long as a couple of years, but never do they establish a permanent residence. The largest known settlement is in the mountains just outside of the Castanan city of Esharra where the Hoinari have created an extensive network of caves, giving those that visit this region a place to live for however long they plan to stay.

Their origins are uncertain, though the ones who wander through Castana are believed to be descendants of the first tribes of the nation but refused to be molded to the new way of life established by the Vicenans. Others believe them to have been outcasts of other nations; criminals perhaps, which would be one reason to explain why they are generally distrusted or disliked. They tend to travel in large groups or clans, bringing along with them every possession they own, including livestock.

The Hoinari have no true pantheon of gods but rather engage in an ancestral worship. Their religion, as much as it is one, is referred to as the Web of Life. In this set of beliefs they see the entire world as a single web. Pluck one string and the actions resonate across the entire world. No action, however small, is segregated from the web. Everyone and everything is a part of the web.
