The Shoshone

First are the Shoshone, dependents of a culture long lost to this world and nearly eradicated in the old one, they have nonetheless clung to life and even thrived in this new and blasted wasteland. They perhaps longer than any others have played a dangerous game of deceit and treachery with their rivals in order to survive, often eroding their foes from the inside out and letting them destroy each other before ever lifting arms against them. These Shoshone have thus far enjoyed a great period of dominance over their neighbors and enjoy the illusion of invincibility. All of which was shattered by the arrival of the Great Khans, the new top dogs of Wyoming and the greatest threat the Shonshone have ever faced. These Khans have proved resistant to the average Shoneshone tactics as a sever misunderstanding of their culture has limited the ability of their spies to penetrate their higher circles and their aggressive expansionist tendencies and warrior culture have sent the Shoshone running time and time again. Due to this, the higher command of the Shoshone have begun to bicker and argue to a previously unheard of degree and today is only held together by their wise and ancient leader Kuruk whom many tribals fear as a bearer of divine power. Needless to say the existence of the Shoshone teeters on a knife edge....Will this once proud nations evolve past it's petty infighting or will their lands serve as a nice corpse for the carrion to feast on without abandon?
