-The Tzeporem, colloquially referred to as the Native Avians of Cahyali, were once a group migratory races that traveled the lands of Cahyali whether by talon or by wing, however when Esrior’s Fold appeared around the year 6000 SF, the avians were stranded within the bounds of known Cahyali. Over the 5000 years since some have shifted their migratory patterns to their current limitations while some have settled down in cities across the map.

-==== Tribes ====+===== Tribes =====
 After Esrior’s Fold came up it’s believed there were 9 overarching groups of the Tzeporem designated by their migratory/settling patterns. The groups are known as the 9 tribes and most each has a migratory pattern and common cities in which the non-migratory population live. Major cities refer to the cities with the largest Tzeporem population, while minor cities have smaller but non-insignificant Tzeporem populations After Esrior’s Fold came up it’s believed there were 9 overarching groups of the Tzeporem designated by their migratory/settling patterns.

-=== Religion ===+==== Religion ====
 Traditionally the Tzeporem tribes do not follow the Cahyalic Pantheon, instead they have their own system of religion. Though it is worth noting that there are some Tzeporem who have converted faith, or are largely non practicing. The Tzeporem faith itself revolves around the idea of a deity of change (Zarez) and its two aspects (Hakhel and Sof). Zarez is a being whose sole story is that it created the laws by which the Tzeporem live and that’s it. All other influences have been carried out by its two aspects Hakhel (The Beginning) and Sof (The End). Traditionally the Tzeporem tribes do not follow the Cahyalic Pantheon, instead they have their own system of religion.

 Often before the spirit binding ceremony, Tzeporem nomads will take time to commune with the spirits of Karisho, finding the one that is the best fit for them and taking time to understand the nature of this connection. Guardian Spirits not only act as guides and as a source of power for the Tzeporem, but also as companions and sources of wisdom.  Often before the spirit binding ceremony, Tzeporem nomads will take time to commune with the spirits of Karisho, finding the one that is the best fit for them and taking time to understand the nature of this connection.
