Puebno dendes los Pertennése

The Puebno dendes los Pertennése, or 'People of the Pyrenese' in the mother tongue, are a set of peoples who inhabit the lands in and around the Pyrenese mountains by the borders of old France and Spain. The ancestry, language and ethnic makeup of the Puebno dendes los Pertennése can be traced back to three distinct cultures- French, Spanish and Basque.

When the bombs fell, a great number of people from these cultures fled into the mountains with as many supplies that they could carry, hoping to outrun the bombs and shield themselves from radiation. A great number died over the first year, and a great many in the years after this. Those who lived, melded together, and formed the first semblance of what can be ably described as a tribe.

Over time, the stories that the elders told their children grew wilder, and contained many untruths that had been gleaned from the disgusting, mutated animals that lived in the mountains, and from the landscape now most familiar to them. The idea of a separated people became blurred, as did the languages and customs of the Puebno dendes los Pertennése. Isolated from society, the separated languages corrupted into a nameless blend. Nameless, until a tribal member made first contact with a trader caravan, whom wrote the language down as Pertennése, and the people as the Puebno.

Over the last decade, traders flocked and swarmed en masse into Puebno lands. They reaffirmed the waning Latin alphabet, and began to translate the strange Pertennése language into their own tongues. The sixties to seventies music resurgence survived in the Puebno through a small number of recordings and a greater number of renditions, and led to new music hit on makeshift drums, lyrics carved into mountains, and singers to entertain through the hot days, and the cold mountain nights.

The names of the Puebno people are often practical. The forenames are personal, varying from family to family and are usually terms of endearment. the surnames are practical, but change based on the job taken on by the family patriarch; Rockbeater, Gunshooter, Orgasmmaker, etc;  all translated into Pertennése.

Ryenne denda Pertonneguard (bodyguard in Pertennése) is a scion of this naming, and of this tribe. Growing up with a truely wild heart, he struck out at 17, disregarding the sound advice of the Puebno elders; do not wander from the mountain homes, or to far from the mountains all together. Armed with a gun, supplies, spears and a bow owned by his family, Ryenne ventured out... and made first contact with a trader caravan.

This changed the Puebno. With an impassioned plea from Ryenne, backed by hungry Jewish traders, they accepted the first of many merchants to come, and finally opened to the outside role. They formed a government, from elders whom supported this line of action and from the most influential of patriarchs. To Ryenne, they gave control of Puebno's first militia, and changed his family name to Leheberstejenekor (first general). For the first time, the Puebno looked outwards, and looked upon themselves as a united nation.

The Puebno dendes los Pertennése specialize in ranged weapons. spears and bows for the average soldier, guns for the older and more
experienced fighter, and the rare sniper rifle for the elite troops. The Puebno are trained to hit targets from a great distance, and often do not engage in open warfare until their enemy is greatly weakened; they are no stranger to the ambush, and have no mercy for foe.
