Most Kemish tribes follow herds of large dinosaurs, especially sauropods, as they trek across Brightmarch. The presence of these immense creatures deters most threats, something the Kemish long ago learned to use to their advantage. Each tribe typically follows a herd for decades, allowing the dinosaurs to become familiar with their presence, though the creatures are rarely tamed due to the difficulty in doing so. Kemish tribes can usually be found in the lands around the Ikena River, especially in the inland stretches of the river where it passes through fern prairies and low-density forests.
