Amazonians

There are no rich or poor Amazonians only worries, Hunters, and priests 50% of their money that is made goes to the tribe in which helps to improve the tribe and advance their influence.
Personality
Amazonians have a massive superior complex. They will not mate outside their race willingly and any Amazonian that dose becomes and outcast and loses all affiliations to the tribe and they become the hunted, If a child is born from this union (2% chance ) the child will be taken by the tribe and cleansed ( the child will be trained until their 16th birthday and then hunt down their parents) and raised by the tribe but not allowed to mate. Their tribe is the most important thing to an Amazonian and insulting a member of a tribe you have insulted the whole tribe and honor dictates retribution. Earning respect from and Amazonian is not easy and saving their life in Battle is not, saving ones comrade in battle is required, but your performance in battle may earn their respect if you fight without fear and with honor as an Amasonian. Amasonians do not marry one another they pick a mate to have a child with and they raise the child with the help of the tribe.
