History
Several decades ago, a herd of strange beasts lived in a land long forgotten. Two tribes, looking very similar, lived together in an uneasy peace. They lived in the desert and ruled with an iron hoof. While to outsiders they presented a united front, within their own ranks was strife. Both factions had their own deity they revered, and felt it was superior to the others.
It started with minor skirmishes between rivals, then families, and clans. Eventually it broke out into full scale war as each side tried to dominate the other. Many were killed. Whole families were wiped out, or only a few survivors were left. Yet the war continued on for decades and then centuries.
The war blinded them to the rising danger within their home. Calamity struck. The ground violently shook, ripping the desert apart. The tribes were shattered and broken as they fled their desert home in scattered groups. For many decades these tiny remaining fragments traveled and searched for a new place to call home.
Some eventually found their way to a land called Soquili.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many years passed. Others from the tribes, in due course, began to find their way to the Kawani lands. These lone stragglers slowly began to find each other in the vastness of the land. A small group of mares found each other and banded together to try to rebuild what had been lost.
Not long after the mares found a new place to call home, a small group of stallions also found their way to the Soquili lands. The two halves united into one whole.

Culture
Purist- The herd values the traits of Wind Serpents/Noxious Reavers over others. Their numbers are super tiny, and it is feared that their bloodlines will be lost should too many impures be allowed. Territorial- normally not aggressive, the herd is territorial and will defend their nests. Hunting- Hunting is a necessity of the herd. While hunting is an accepted practice, it is severely frowned upon to kill a sentient creature. Another soquili, a two-legger, or an animal that shows the properties of intelligence (a familiar) should not be considered a food item. Familiars- Familiars are accepted, though predatory or useful ones are favored over others. Others while accepted may cause some weird looks to be given. Foal Sitters- While the herd doesn't actually have any nannies, the foals are kept in a secure location with a number of guards to watch over them. Number of guards depends upon how many foals are there, and guards will be rotated in and out of watch. Deity- What was once thought to be two separate deities, has been revealed to actually be one, but with two heads. One head is female, known as Sethe; the other head is male and called Hakkar.
