For what it's worth, Xhyz (Pascal's assistant in my stories) is from Fan Shoar and practices Shamanstic magicks

>Ooh, I was thinking about possibly using something along these lines of this Tigrest people you describe here in a story when I eventually got around to writing one for Metamor Keep!  (Well, I was if MK ended up as the setting the story landed in, of course.)  I’d be particularly interested in exploring the life of at least one individual with close relations in multiple tribes, to use the societal structure given here, and that regardless of whether and when I, personally, write such a story.  (I have a few other ideas, but I’ll save them for another time.)  



The Tigmest are based on the actual Northwest Native American tribes. …




     That’s to be expected based on the real-world territory that their homeland is based on, of course.  



…But if you want to use mine, I’d be very flattered. Either way, it sounds like an interesting story potential!

     Thanks, and you’re welcome in advance!  It’ll probably be quite a while until I get to putting anything together in this regard, though, as it’s been about three years since I promised those on the main TSA-Talk mailing list a somewhat major story arc in one of the settings discussed there — you may have seen me mention parts of it there once or twice and thus know which one I mean, but I won’t reiterate that explicitly here unless you ask since it’s off-topic for this list — and haven’t gotten much work done on it in that time at all, so I obviously have an obligation to post at least the beginning of that first.

> I was thinking about involving a Keeper as something of a mentor, at least in magic, to the main character, but this would make it so that former individual wouldn’t have to hail from quite so far away, so thanks!  


I’m glad you like it!

     Again, you’re welcome!  It’s always useful to be able to build off of pre-existing material, anyway.

In full disclosure, it's just the other half of the political map colored in: http://transform.to/~ravenb/pics/mkworld_political.jpg I don't have whatever graphics were used to make the western half and I wanted to keep it simple in case anyone wanted to see changes.

     Still, that’s an interesting coincidence or reuse of existing topology, whatever the reason behind it.

Shamanistic magic is highly developed in Fan Shoar, though it is different from that of Galendor. It includes much more alchemy and the use of familiar spirits (generally small, elemental beings that take on the shape of an animal) is common. Shamans in Fan Shoar can produce a wider variety of effects than most in Galendor can accomplish because they can also detect raw magic and regularly treat with elemental spirits who are sometimes considered members of a given empire or tribe and who often align themselves in defense. Extreme care is taken when dealing with any extrapljnar being, however, particularly those from the Heavens and Hells.

     You know, now that I think about it, a set of magic techniques like this bears a certain partial resemblance to the ‘furycrafting’ system used in Jim Butcher’s Codex Alera series, which I just started reading while eating for the next book in that same author’s The Cinder Spires series, though odds are that other franchises could have implemented something similar even though I don’t know about it/them personally.  In any case, have you thought about letting Tigmest magicians involve some of the totems, personal or otherwise, that are part of their culture when they cast spells?  I imagine they might be able to use them as mystical focal points and energy stores, similarly to how other settings might contain magical artifacts usable in one or both of those ways.
