Editing Deschani History (section)

=== Relations with Others ===

The Saen are cautious around outsiders. While many of their people have acted as guides, scouts, or wilderness protectors for other races, most Saen hold a deep mistrust of city-dwellers and settlers. Too many sacred lands have been burned, herds poached, or waters fouled by the so-called “civilised” folk.

Still, they are not hostile without cause. The Saen believe in second chances, and those who show respect and humility may be welcomed, if not into the tribe, then at least as a friend of it.

In recent years, the Saen have become deeply troubled. The spirits grow silent or angry, the seasons shift unpredictably, and rumours of Deschani turning Feral are spreading. Ancient prophecies speak of a Sundering of Clans, a time when the Deschani must choose to unify or fall. Some say the Garlu have angered the spirits with their machines. Others whisper that the darkness comes from within.
