Il-Father

Il-Father: The Gathering of the Clans

Several times a year, the clans converge at Il-Father, a vast, ancient plateau where their ancestors once swore their first oaths of unity. Here, under the watchful eyes of their gods and elders, decisions are made that shape the course of all Lumban. Marriages between clans are arranged to strengthen alliances, grievances are aired and settled, and young warriors prove themselves in fierce contests of riding, archery, and combat.

Trade at Il-Father is legendary—thousands of horses exchange hands, along with finely worked leathers, weapons, and rare goods taken from the fringes of Lumban. Diplomacy is as important as any warrior's strength, and skilled negotiators often wield more power than swords.

Though the clans are often scattered across the plains, their unity at Il-Father reminds them that they are all Lumban—proud riders of the endless steppe, bound by blood, honor, and the rhythm of hooves on the earth.
