Koctn
Introduction
The Koctn are tribes of barabarians who wander the desert world of Cyxon Mox. Generally tall and dark-skinned, the Koctn have little or no knack for magic. The limited oral history given by the tribe states that those who once weilded the power of magic left long ago in search of a better world to inhabit. Hundreds of years later, the remaining people have developed a fear of magic. Wizards who find themselves on their planet are often attacked and killed if they reveal any hint of their powers.
Language
The Koctn speak a very harsh language with rough enunciation and a brutish accent. It is called Peyb in their own words, but outsiders have been known to call it 'desert tounge' for it's gravelly, dry sound. Very, very few have actually learned this language, but that is mostly because very few people have actually met with a tribe and lived.
Social Structure
The Koctn have little social hierarchy. They are not seen as poor, middle-class, or rich, but are divided into two classes. One class, the average tribe member, makes up most of the population. The second class is the 'leader' family, which dictates solutions for the tribes many problems. Although they wield power over the entire population, if they are deemed unfit to rule they are forcibly banished from the tribe and hunted as outlaws. This keeps the balance of power between the people and their rulers from becoming too much of a negative one.
