Buy Me a CoffeeThey did not speak, childhood illness stole their voice. But the Harukh village didn't care. This human had always been kind to them, helping them when illnesses or injuries came their way. They also made it clear to so-called "heros", this human who could not speak was not going to be mistreated. The human, for their part, kept trying to make it clear, wordlessly, they didn't NEED "saving". -- Anon Guest
[AN: Harukh are mostly nomadic, so this place is a statistical outlier]
The Harukh steppe lands are cruel and harsh. Life there is hard. The plants that eke out an existence there take years to grow to the point where they're useful. The animals were tough, armoured, and armed. Even the herbivores have tusks, claws, or horns to defend themselves.
That doesn't mean that the Harukh always share the same qualities.
Their reputation for being violent raiders is due entirely to people moving in to their territories and 'civilising' the land that the Harukh had been farming in their own way for generations. Which is roughly equivalent to returning from a holiday to discover that someone has built and sold out an apartment complex where your home used to be. You would also get violent under such circumstances.
