Commonly referred to as the Flatheads by the Bellians, these people tend to flock in small, family oriented groups with a strong social hierarchy. They prefer living in caves for protection against the elements. Their mouths do not permit them to make many of the sounds that Bellians make with ease, and thus their language consists mostly of body movements. Some sounds are made, but mostly the language is made entirely of body movements. For role playing purposes, we'll use "said" and such, but keep this limitation in mind. Furthermore, the language is highly complex and very few Bellians have been able to learn it. (and even if they have, they have a very strong "accent")
Flatheads are also highly superstitious. Each man and woman has his or her own animal totem. The stronger animals are reserved for men because the Flatheads are also very biased against women. In fact, females aren't even allowed to learn to hunt. They do, however, have an extensive knowledge of plants and foods and medicines. Each clan has its own medicine woman.
