Thunder Speakers

The Thunder Speakers, formerly known as the Thunder Horse, were originally nomads, then vassals of Xohyr and Thunder Horse, and finally vassal of the Ymaryn.

Economy
The Thunder Speakers did not have a very powerful economy due to the dry valley pass.

History
The Thunder Speakers started a war with the Ymaryn due to a perceived slight against them in Conflicts of an age, but was forced to surrender in On wings of wax. Their loss was partly because of the refusal of its vassal lord to intervene and of the Ymaryn's alliance with the Highland Kingdom.

Star Axe
They were originally famous for possession of the "star metal" iron axe, which was used as a religious symbol and an authority granter. Stolen by the Spirit Talkers after the battle that shattered the original Thunder Horse. It was eventually recovered after killing off the Spirit Talkers. Thunder Horse eventually conquered the Thunder Speaker and the Star Metal axe was passed on. Its significance and the object itself had since then been lost to history, and was likely destroyed in the Burning of Xohyr or melted down for scraps. Although possibilities remained that it was buried in rubbish heaps or that it was buried somewhere else with a different polity or a tribe.

Destruction
They have been destroyed by nomads during the Horseman's Plague in Horseman Conflict.

Their former territory was then settled by the Memory of Spirits march and to the south settled by Txolla.
