Umoric Confederation

 * Government: A tribal confederation, comprising of many families, although there are high priestesses and the matriarch are trying to actively revive ancient 'Daevite Confederation' for a new era within Daevite history. This was slowly being achieved with more people being enslaved, integrated as Daevites and a rise in population in general.
 * Matriarchs:
 * Vas (293 AD-320 AD)
 * Thyta (320 AD-present)
 * Military: The military here is predominantly men (although female sacrificers might be seen as they are priestesses too) and since they are nomadic, the military tends to be larger, focused on cavalry and much flexible than organised armies of Rome or of former China.
 * 1600 horse archers
 * 1000 horsemen/cavalry (comprised of spears, rarely long swords and daggers)
 * 250 melee soldiers (comprised of spears, rarely long swords and daggers)
 * 150 foot archers
 * 200 sacrificers
 * Economy: The economy relies on basic subsidence and resources around the region. Agriculture is minimal and since they have started to move towards a nomadic lifestyle, livestock is now predominant in keeping people fed, along with many tribes. Plundering and raiding is seen as increasing the value of Umor's economy. Trading with the south, perhaps to the west and east is still seen, but they have being largely minimised.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 41,000 (incl. 2,600 slaves that were abducted from villages or from local tribes)
 * Religion: 93% Blood Gods, 2% Astryianism, 5% Other
 * Culture: 93% Daevite, 7% Other
 * Events:
 * The Migration: The second final push to move close to the western kingdom of Tistu and 'permanently' settle there, which this push would be done under matriarch Vas. Thyta hopes to finally settle around the boundaries of Tistu and destroy this long ancient kingdom that lasted for approximately 700 to 900 years, which had evolved from the ancient Yin Dynasty (perhaps? they were Chinese nomads many years ago) and mixed with many local tribes, resulting in a form of a mixed race with both Asiatic and European ancestry.
 * The Cause of Destruction: Hundreds of horsemen and horse archers begin to plunder Tistu towns and villages, ransacking and devastating villages while towns were plundered of treasure and some of their men. No longer focused on Scythia, which they have been left alone for a while now, there was a cause for destruction waiting for them. As the Umor continue to move to the west, Tistu could see a full-scale invasion of the Umoric Confederation (formerly the Umor Tribal Confederation) under a united matriarch who sought to form an empire and make their second chapter within the book of the history of Daevites.
 * Astyrianism: Astryianism was founded among few slaves out of coincidence in the early 4th century AD (reported by some local Roman writers in the south). They slowly abandoned their old religion that was imposed on them when they were children or were abducted to work immediately and not sacrificed by priestesses. Astryianism is a schism to the pagan faith of the Daevites, it borrows elements of Daevite traditions, but far moderate than the Daevite beliefs and values could ever be. There is no sacrifice to it, but they believe that violence is a way out of the 'problem'. This could become a threat and that slaves could revolt using this faith by refusing to work and migrate as far away from their nightmares, the Umoric Confederation. Matriarch Mayta would allow her loyal chieftesses and high priestesses to observe behaviour among other priestesses to prevent Astyrianism from 'growing out of hand.' This could be seen as another incarnation of the ancient Strain worshippers in Japan about 3,500 years ago, but this time they are derived from Daevite beliefs.
 * Rome, Rome: The Umor encounter the Romans during scouting in the northern mountains. However in order not to make it seem obvious that the Umor are plundering northern villages, they leave them alone (for now), hoping to not make any 'aggressive' actions that could lead to them being backfired. (I'll become aggressive by 400 - 410 AD to Rome, just a note)
