The Elkan Tribe

One of the oldest remaining people from the Second Age. The Elkan people managed to stay out of sight and mind of the kingdom of Servid by living deep in the earth.

Origin of the Name
The name Elkan comes from stories and artifacts passed down from generation to generation that describes a time when they rode elk and hunted giant armadillos. Fearing capture from the Servid forces, the Elkan people resorted to hunting small game, and were left to fondle ancient antlers with the hope of one day returning to the steed that gave them their namesake eons prior.

Merger with the Mellusian People
Elkan hunters witnessing The Revenge of Fellstone see an opportunity to align their forces. The Elkan Tribe leader Rohm Glims tells The Mellusian People of a village to the south where tamed elk lie in stables. Going with The Crescent Council, the The Elkan Tribe hunters subdue the elk stable master, stealing three elks for every mean in the party, and returning to their camp with enough steeds to mobilize both tribes.

The Escape North
Hearing of the raid, the people of the raid request a reward from the kingdom of Servid if they can eliminate the The Elkan Tribe and The Mellusian People, to which the Servid republic agrees, and even sends additional forces to ensure both tribes are destroyed.
