World Lore

Khibal in Dia

Khibal share facial features, eyes, noses, and beard patterns with Tchinka, but stand much taller and carry far more muscle and endurance.

Unlike Tchinka, Khibal do not fear fire or iron. Their societies are tribal, physically driven, and often non-industrial. They are highly individualistic, rarely form conventional families, and raise children collectively within the tribe.

Khibal use less knot magic than Tchinka, but many wear protective knot-charms around the neck. Their common callings include warfare, herding, headhunting, spellcasting, and riding wild dikha.
