The Dogran Tribe

About the Dogran Tribe
The Dogran (native: Dag-Te-Rahn) are a species of doglike humanoids living in the eastern steppes some distance away from the empire. They are ruled by a elder counsil and respect the hierachy of elders and warriors. The Dogran are one of the few tribes that have frequent clashes with the empire since they're close to the empire and not well defended against a empire attack allowing the empire to have Dogran slaves for their ships and business ventures. There are stories about Dogran slaves rising to respectable rank on imperial ships, although many imperials tend to deny it.

The Dogran Military
The Dogran house a small but effective boarding navy, these are filled with the bravest warriors and are feared by small imperial patrols although the Dogran navy can't take on a real imperial fleet. The Dogran base themselves more on their landforce, which is particullary large but not wel trained. The Dogran tend to attack a single target in pairs so that one can distract the opponent whilst the other takes the opponent out from a vurnable position. The Dogran are one of the few that actually use walls to protect their towns and cities making them to imperial standards more civilized than other tribes (although many tribes tend to disagree on the point of the empire being civilized. The Dogran are quite capable with the sword and bow and actually use ballista's to defend their ports.

The Dogran Economy
The Dogran are one of the most trader-focussed economies of the world. Their trading capabilities are only matched by the alliance and the Wolfran. The Dogran do have a strong law against beverage meaning that you can be exiled for even brewing beverage this makes Dogran towns and inns more save locations for everybody. So only beverage is contraband they trade everything else without problems they also provide pirates with imperial contrabanded goods. Although the Dogran have no real artisan specialisation they are a great economical force even with the war going on.

The Dogran Ethic Code
The Dogran are quite acceptive to humans and other tribals but if they find out you're a imperial spy or somebody else working for the imperial military your life is forfeit since they won't hesitate to kill you. They give you a change to defend yourself in front of the Elder court but nobody can cheat the elders with lies. The only people who survived the accusation are the ones that had been falsely accused. The Dogran brutallity in combat does make them not the most popular tribe in the world but they surely ain't the most inpopular in the world.
