  === Johtalit Tundra - Qaiqsu Wastes ===
 Nothing lives in the Qaiqsu Wastes. Nothing has ever lived in the Qaiqsu Wastes. Ignore the “stars” that land here, and do not stare too long at the angry, lone mountain peak. Please. Nothing is to be gained. This is not a place of honor.
+//As of 10081, an adventuring party returning from a short-lived excursion to the lone peak reported that it appeared to be a perfect pyramid shape, with snow and ice building up the facade of a mountain. Ever since that excursion, Johtalit tribesmen have mused that the mountain seems a little less ominous.((See the "Lonely Mountain and the Goddess" game writeups, https://centralia.aquest.com/games/view_writeup.php?writeup=1971, for more information.))//

-Defended by their natural environment, the Johtalit people have managed to weather the blows of both Dahabi invasion and Pthoran aggression for millennia. They practice a spiritual religion, venerating nature itself as the greatest of all gods. Some of this belief is directed at deities such as Julius and Vahrun, referred to as Beaivi and Nuliajuk, respectively. Peregrinus and Tenebrius are also worshiped as a single sky god, called Unipkaaqtuat. Seers, shamans, and healers often worship their own interpretations of Seherine, Vormaxia, and Aset - or sometimes conglomerate interpretations of the three.

 The Johtalit herd large animals called snowstriders (pictured bottom right), the name going back to their origins on Kleemudor - but here used to refer to an entirely different creature. The husbandry of these creatures is central to much of Johtalit culture, as snowstriders allow them to cross the land in relative safety and also provide much-needed hides and meat. Johtalit live mostly in small villages built from wood and brick, each led by a chieftain or shaman. Few elemental mages exist among the Johtalit, with magic practice being in the realm of divine or spiritual (the Johtalit make no distinction between the two); or, occasionally, psionic.
