Tupua+Iwi+Maunga+-+Mountain+Tribe

=​ Welcome To The Mountain Tribe Tupua Iwi Maunga = We as you know are the mountain tribe, the undisputedly strongest, toughest and richest tribe of all. We are situated on the mighty Mt Thomas. As the mountain tribe we have alot of valuable resources like gold and coal which is mined in the caves to the north-east of our village. We trade with our allies the Roma Wai, we trade gold for food. We have large village where we keep pigs and chickens, and grow wheat and crops. We have a large military force of spearmen, archers and our two fiercely loyal generals of the barracks Caleb Eustace and John Stewart. We have a small governmental system run by Tei Hema and the town is run by Jack French. There are two merchants in the Villagers District, Brooke Harris and Libby McTavish.

Conflict and War We are in the heat of battle with the barbaric Tangaroa the sea tribe. We are attacked from the south by bandits as well. They try to steal our precious land, farms, vegetables (even the onions!), and animals (even the sheep!). We have set up outposts and sentries around the area to patrol and protect against the attackers. We have many trade routes to the southwest. The war still rages on and the Tangaroa are gaining allies.

Our flag symbolizes the height of Mt. Thomas, which reflects that we are above all other tribes and the red sky depicts the blood from our enemies that have been defeated time and time again. The orange symbolizes our burning spirit and strength.

Our armor is made from the purest refined gold available. The helmet is topped with beautiful red-dyed plumes of a peacock and has a sleek, dark visor for the eyes. The pauldrons are a shiny golden crescent that have the softest, finest, leather padding underneath. The arm plates come from the shoulder to the elbow, they are light and flexible, yet protective and strong. The bracers are a comfortably fitting golden cylinder topped by small golden pins for defense. The gauntlets are a flexible, comfortable mix of gold and silver. They allow the wearer to easily grip a sword. The platelegs are large and stocky but are also comfortable as they have leather padding on the inside. The greaves are almost a replica to the bracers but they are more comfortable for the lower leg and do not ache the leg when the person runs. The boots have multiple layers of plates and have small silver tusks at the end. The cuirass is a very detailed, strong piec of armor. It is very comfortable but also leaves a small gap between the shoulder and chest, only protected by a thick layer of leather. The shield is light and has multiple layers of bronze and iron in the center for extra protection. The tower shield is large and heavy and has the symbol of the sun engraved into the center.

The spear is a long wooden cylinder with an iron tip that can pierce even the toughest armor. The shortsword is quick and lethal. It is light and easy to use. It is made in the forges at our marketplace. The long sword is designed to be a one-handed weapon, but only the strength of a mountain tribe can lift it with one hand and use it to its full extent. Those who are not born of a mountain tribe must use two hands to even be able to swing this mighty weapon. It has two rubies engraved in the hilt. The club is a thick log that has been crafted and smoothened to the wielder's preferences. It has two steel spikes on either side. The axe is a heavy weapon designed for a quick, barbaric kill on the battlefield. It is crafted and forged using black iron. The bow is made from kowhai wood and the arrows have feathers at the back from kea and the arrowheads are crafted from heavy black iron.
