Breimian Herd Relations

Herd relations among the Breim (both Umare and Kawaru) are scattered and relatively weak at best, with each Generation developing a vastly different view overtime. Overall however, Breimian tend to distrust other factions due to their history and continued isolation throughout the years.

Though with life on the surface making isolation difficult, and trade becoming an essential part of life, the Breim have been forced to open their borders and welcome visitors with a certain amount of cautious respect. That said, members of the Kawaru tend to be much more eager to learn about and meet other herds than their more traditional counterparts, the Umare, whose distrust of outsiders tends to color all interactions they have.

Umare Herd Relationships
While the Talori were once a trusted ally, recent years have painted the herd in a more negative light. Between the Umare consul to Aquore being trapped there without word from the Talori government and trade being impossible with the mainland, the Umare have very little contact with the herd and don't seem to want it at the moment. Although never having a great relationship, there was hope for a shared future between the herds, thanks in large part to outreach from Aodh's King Solaris. However, after the failed political visit of King Amadeus ended in flames and death, the relationship cooled. With the reveal that their High King, thought dead after they vanished in 1699, had been as a slave in Aodh, Umare's feelings towards their western neighbors is best described as tense and unfriendly. While once strong allies, In recent months tensions have begun to grow between the two as the Serorans take more and more Breimian resources giving little back in return. Whether or not their relationship can be repaired is yet to be seen. The Umare don't currently have much of a relationship with the War Forged, aside from sending out Consuls every now and then. Though traditionally wary of Vagabonds and their outsider status, since their move to the surface, the traveling wanderers have become a valuable resource and the Umare have begun slowly opening their doors to the travelers more often. While wary of the Flight as they are strangers to the herd, the Umare have started to build a relationship with the rebels in the form of trade agreements that benefit them both and have replaced the trade the Breim once had with the Talori, as well as the creation of a Flight outpost in the Umare town of Cressa.

Kawaru Herd Relationships
While the Kawaru have respect for the economic practices and ingenuity of the Aodh, they are incredibly fearful of the fire herd. As such, they have no real relationship with the Aodh outside of the occasional Aodhian who stumbles across their faction in search of a new life. The Kawaru know little of the desert dwellers, though rumors have begun prompting them to seek out the Seroran refugees. Only time will tell where that will lead.... While the Kawaru know the War Forged exist, they have no relationship with the northern herd for the time being. With both the Kawaru and the Talori being isolated, and the Kawaru having less resources at their disposal than the Umare, the Kawaru have no relationship with the Talori at this time. While still wary of outsiders, the Kawaru are much more accepting, especially of vagabond visitors. While they generally don't have much to offer by way of trade, they are wonderful resources of knowledge about the surface and are often willing to perform small retrieval tasks in return for goods. They also tend to have a wide variety of connections, which is something the progressive Kawaru value greatly.
