As the scattered Shade Clan took family units, they continued to come from the vast Reach Mountains to join together. Linya Gaobao is very popular. A prosperous town soon began to take shape.

Wu Chen originally thought that the Reach people were a branch of the Breton people. They used ancient magic and their familiarity with the Reach Mountains to fight against foreign invaders. However, the bloodline of the Shade Clan seems to be more high elven. Their elf ears are more pronounced than those of the average Breton. Although not as conspicuous as the wood elves, they are still much more eye-catching than the mixed Bretons. It’s no wonder that the Shade Clan has always been known as mysterious among the Reach tribe. The clan belief is also different from that of most Reach clans who believe in Hircine.
"Few scholars described the Reach as anything other than howling barbarians until Durcorach the Black Drake led the Reach warriors against Cyrodiil. Tamriel The civilized people in the rest of the area regard the Reach people as a large group of unruly barbarians who have been in chaos-this is a state of near ignorance. In fact, the warriors of the black dragon had already have clearly demonstrated their characteristics. Nowadays, the wise Cyrodiil people also realize that they still have a lot to learn from the warlike races who want to control the imperial capital. To meet this need, I wrote my own knowledge of the Reach and its tribes, a treasure trove of information I gleaned during my seven months as an official at the Markarth Trade Legation, currently run by Governor Caddach of the Blackdrakes. )manage.
First, Reach is home to several different tribes, each with their own characteristics and traditions. Some tribes settled in one place and established permanent camps, while others remained nomadic. A tribe is somewhere between an extended family and a village; some members of the tribe are related to others, while others who are not related by blood express their loyalty by adopting tribal names. There are always new tribes emerging, groups of like-minded Reachmen who follow the herds and come together to settle new lands, or in more chaotic times begin to raid neighboring lands. As a result, tribes are unstable, splitting and reforming over time.
A tribal chief leads the tribe. Some chiefs call themselves chiefs, speakers, elders, or kings, although most Reach consider calling themselves 'kings' a pretense. Not a single tribal chief bothered to make this claim in decades. However, a tribal chief can become king if enough Reach agree that someone is powerful enough to hold the title. In fact, there were times in history when several different tribal chiefs claimed to be kings at the same time; as the Reach people say, 'Anyone can be a king in Reach, but no one is a king in Reach' . Even Dukolaci didn't get the title. To this day, the Reach consider the Longhouse Emperor a war leader they follow willingly. Kneeling before a king, even before King Reach of Cyrodiil, is something only a weak person would do. As mentioned earlier, multiple tribes live in Reach. Most are small tribes: a small village, a group of nomads, a raider's lair in a remote cave or castle. However, any traveler to Reach should be aware of the following more important (and dangerous) tribes.
Blackdrake Clan: The small number of black dragons rises under the leadership of the great war lord Ducolach. As both ally and enemy, the black dragon Dukorach gathered all of Reach under his banner and conquered Cyrodiil, establishing the Longhouse Dynasty. His closest relatives and friends in Reach adopted his famous title as the name of their tribe. The other tribes naturally showed a far deeper respect for Ducolach's kin than the Black Dragon Tribe itself, and Viceroy Kadak himself was a member of the Black Dragon Tribe.
Cinder-Heart Clan: A warlike tribe often encountered near Markarth, the Cinder-Heart Clan are known for burning their captives alive. It is said that they prepared the Heart of Thorns by stuffing hot coals into the victim's hollow chest, an even more gruesome 'improvement' on this already gruesome ritual.
Eagleseer Clan: The proud and warlike Eagleseer Clan care for their feuds like their own children. Although this may seem like a barrier to contact with outsiders, in fact they are friendly and open to those with whom they have no arguments. To the Eagle Seer, visitors from other lands were simply not worth the Reachmen's enmity.
Ghostsong Clan: A reclusive tribe from the wilds of East Reach, the Ghostsong are known for their powerful witches and loyal werewolves. They have special reverence for Namira, calling her the Queen of Souls.
Hillhunter Clan: As nomadic hunters who make their home in the mountains south of Markarth, the Hillhunter Clan are renowned for their forest craft. Other tribes say no one can track members of the Hill Hunter tribe unless they voluntarily be followed.
River-Elk Clan: The numerous River-Elk Clan live in numerous semi-permanent camps throughout the Karth Valley. Although extremely distrustful of outsiders, they are willing to trade with foreigners who prove themselves to be friends of the tribe.
Shadefeather Clan: The Shadefeather Clan is under the control of a powerful group of crow hags, thankfully few in number. They intercept travelers across Reach and kill captives in dark rituals. Even other Reach tribes are not immune to their evil rituals. Darkfeather frequently moves camps and kills anyone unfortunate enough to wander past the camp.
Thornroot Clan: The fierce and powerful Thornroot Clan often camp around Briar Rock. Like the Darkfeather Tribe, they are led by the Crow Hag, but they are not hostile to surrounding tribes and reserve their wrath against foreigners. Many of the tribe's warriors choose to become Thornhearts, making the Thornroot tribe extremely dangerous in battle.
Wildspear Clan: Settled in the lands near Markarth, the Wildspear Clan are dedicated to Hircine and honor the Lord of the Chase with hunting rituals. They believe that humans (especially smart and strong enemies) are the best prey for these bloody rituals. "
During the return trip, Wu Chen finished reading the book "An Overview of the Important Tribes of Rechi" written in 2E 568, during the reign of Emperor Leovik.
Emperor Leovik was the last of the Longhouse Emperors of the Reachman Dynasty and ruled the Cyrodiil Empire during The Interregnum. In 2E 533-2E 577, the Reachers seized the Ruby Throne and ruled the Cyrodiil Empire for 44 years. This is the history that Rich people are most proud of.
When receiving the ancient book from the lord, Dawn Warhammer Xili smiled and asked: "Master, have you noticed that all territories are easy to defend but difficult to attack?"
Wu Chen smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"So this is a decision jointly made by you and Alicia, right?" Dawn Warhammer Xili obviously noticed something.
"That's it." Wu Chen couldn't help but think of the "Golden Page of Law (Asylum Card)": "In order for the next adventure to proceed smoothly, we must build a territory as much as possible. In my opinion, these are easy to defend Difficult territory to attack is the key to defending Ximu when the 'Plane Fusion' occurs."
"I understand." Dawn Warhammer Xili nodded lightly. The "next adventure" the lord mentioned is not just in the continent of Tamriel. After all, the Lord is a planeswalker who travels through different time and space. And the "Plane Fusion" Wu Chen mentioned was probably not just the "Elder Scroll: Plane Fusion" brought back from the vault of King Olaf the One-Eyed.
With the establishment of the high castle on the cliff.
At this point, the boundary of Ximu Territory was finally established.
