Stormchaser Tribe

The Stormchasers occupy what is to become Cloudsdale. They saw Equestria as easy prey, launching several raids against it. Soon after, a treaty was forged in the Stormchasers favor. Equestria is obligated to pay tribute to them and they (supposedly) provide protection.

Culture
The Stormchasers have a violent culture. Blood idols and shamanistic sacrifices are the norm.

They worship the God of Spears, a God who demands sacrifices weekly. The God of Spears is a titanic pegasus who bleeds eternally from the spears embedded in Its back. It is said bolts of lightning only strike those who have wronged It.

Language
The Stormchasers speak two languages: Equentish and Lallam-Emun. Equentish is referred to as the low-tongue, while Lallam-Emun, the language used by priests, is the high-tongue.

Economy
The Stormchasers have a barter system of sorts. The most valuable materials are those won from the strongest adversaries. Therefore, a spear made in Bulwark is worth much more than a spear made in Glistens.

Foreign Policy
The Stormchasers are in need of two important resources. Food and metal, both of which they can't get up in the Cloudhome. And so they forego trade in favor of constant raiding. Their unique position as an entirely pagasus race allows them to attack in full force quickly, leaving their airborne city undefended.

Government
The Stormchasers are rules by the High Shaman, who conducts all sacrifices to the God of Spears herself. She functions in much the same way a Queen would. The current High Shaman is Qetzl the Red.

Technology
Most of the Stormchaser tribe's technology comes in the form of tributes from other tribes. In this way, they occupy a unique branch of technological advancement.
