Amazon Fluff and Stats [TBC]

Race: Amazon
The topic of many a traveler's tale about strange and exotic lands, Amazons appear to be some sort of atavistic throwback that occasionally result from human populations during prolonged periods of isolation in primitive conditions while under the constant threat of predation. Often hail from beyond the edges of civilization where the wilderness rules, Amazons are renown for strength and skill in combat, their exotic beauty, as well as more lurid tales about what happens when a lone male stumbles across their lands. The truthfulness of the later ....varies

Physical Description: Usually standing at least a head above their human kin, Amazons are a race of tall, powerfully built humanlike females, albeit ones with a somewhat overexaggerated muscular yet feminine physique when compared to human women. Eye, hair, and skin color are on a whole generally as varied as in humans, though it's rare to see a large variation within a specific tribe.

Society: Amazons are a race born of isolationism, and their society typically reflects this origin. Generally wary of outsiders, Amazons are usually organized into a tribal structure held together by bonds of mutual kinship born of both blood and the ever constant battle of the lands they call home.
There are small Amazon kingdoms (queendoms?), usually ruled over by a queen or high priestess and there is the occasional stories of Amazon empires in far off lands, but the logistics of that seem unlikely

Relations: Amazon tribes often have little to no contact with more civilized lands, though stories often filter through to and about them, more often than not contact is limited to a handful of explorers stumbling across their lands or an Amazon warrior setting out to explore the wider world. Relations with others tend to vary based on the tribe's past history, militarism, and xenophobia, but most tribes tend to have a strong isolationist and militaristic streak, aggressively defending their borders and punishing those who trespass too close to their villages, though rarely giving chase outside of their lands save for those who are a direct threat agains their tribe. Raids against nearby settlements or camps who have ventured too close to their borders are not uncommon, and of course there is the ever present stories of Amazons kidnapping men for breeding purposes these are not untrue per se, but depend on if the tribe in question still have a population of male amazons, a nearby non-amazon tribe they've worked out an arrangement with, or some other formalized ritual when it comes to acquiring mates.

It must be said, that when it comes to humanoid races Amazons tend to
>Something something when they have males be confused at the reversal of gender roles, generally preferring smaller, weaker males like their own (even if the tribe doesn't have any)
>Something something see women as frail and weak/men as oddly misshapen otherwise

Alignment and Religion:
>Something something chaotic
>Something something simplified versions of whatever religion they had before isolation
>Something something drifts towards mother goddess with some oddly common specific traits even among tribes half the world away


Adventurers:
>Something something Amazons adventurers are often wanderers, hearing stories about foreign lands and heading out there

Amazon (Male), AKA "Half-Amazons (Male)"
Male amazons tend to only pop up in tribes that retain infrequent contact with their parent population, or other close ties to some group of humans.
