The Pindiro Tribe, live in a village in north-eastern Eodon.
Description[edit]
The tribe, whose origin lies with the North American Indians, generally keeps mostly to themselves, though they are not xenophobic. The village they live in is rather new, as they had to leave their old village due to natural disaster. Their main occupation is hunting and fishing. The other main feature of their lives is the constant feud with the Barako Tribe living west of them — a long-going feud that is rooted in who is to rule over the plains.
History[edit]
Several years before the events of Savage Empire, they had been forced to give up their old village, which lay further west, when an earthquake made it impossible to live there anymore and shortly after they left, the only bridge snapped, making it impossible to return. With the tribe gone, the Myrmidex quickly took over the abandoned village.
When the Avatar visited the village in Savage Empire, chieftain Inara surprisingly readily agreed to uniting the tribes without any demands from her side and even agreeing to make peace with the Barako Tribe, seeing the seriousness of the threat of the Myrmidex for the whole valley. The Avatar also found Dokray, a warrior reminding the hero a lot of their friend Dupre from Britannia.
Lore[edit]
| “ | It seems evident that the Pindiro have a distant relationship with one or more North American Indian tribes, particularly plains-dwelling tribes. Some dialectal phrases reminiscent of the Siouan language group, and their nomadic, plains-oriented lifestyle point to this origin. The Pindiro appear to feel the closest kinship with the eohippus, or "down horse," ancestor of the modern equines; this mammal as large as a medium-sized dog, is very numerous on the Pindiro plains. The Pindiro hunt and trap the animal for its meat and fur, and keep some as pets.
Interestingly, though the Pindiro appear to be patriarchal in structure, their legends cite many independent queens, and the current ruler of the tribe at the time of this writing is a queen. |

- The generic female members of the tribe look a lot like Penumbra, which is little wonder, since Manda Dee worked on this game as well. Clearly a way to appear, despite the game not taking place in Britannia.
