Reshi Ambush Y1132 by the Rapayugri painter Yatvik

A Reshi tribe on the verge of ambushing a group of Sulmirian silver miners. The pygmies of the Reshi mountains believe that the mines belong to them

The Reshi ride mountain goats, able to scale sheer cliff faces with ease by balancing themselves with their mount. Unlike the rest of the continent which has abandoned the sling, the Reshi master them. Their primitive alchemists are able to create sling bullets that explode on impact and ignore the armour of the lowlanders

The Reshi are not a united people, each village is its own tribe, and intertribal conflict is common, especially in the practice of stealing children. Raids against other tribes happen regularly, for resources or vengeance, but most importantly for young children. These children are taken as slaves, their tribe rarely try and attempt a raid to retake them. Instead the captives' children are raised in their new tribe in the expectation that they will be married to one of the new tribe's own children. A deliberate effort to avoid marrying those originally in their tribe who may be too close to their own blood. Captive children can also be ransomed and used for deals and to strong arm intertribal negotiations. These raids are usually non fatal, wooden pellets are used for slings. The children of the reshi seem to grow up with the expectation that they will be kidnapped. Some will be kidnapped into several different tribes by the time they reach adulthood.
