History
Uamhas are warriors and have participated in many wars, siding with ones that threaten nature the least. They have no interest in diplomacy but understand the use of allies. Therefore, they stay neutral most of the time until a war breaks out. In the modern day, uamhas’ traditional cultures are slowly being destroyed by modernisation. Some are adamant to stay but others are fine embracing the new.
Location
Uamhas are commonly found in central Shimon but tribes of uamhas can also be found in the wilderness in Cwyfol as well.

Cruaidh (Vinewick)
Uamhas are dedicated to their traditions and in protecting their home and nature to a point where some of them reject the progression of technology and isolate themselves in the wilderness. These uamhas, now known as cruaidh uamhas, have adapted to the ability to focus on the powers of the land.
