Religion
They left behind their Crocodile God, adopting new gods of domestication and protection. They lived very close to [The Lonely Mountain] and held that their pantheon of gods, headed by the lightning god Githastrepi, lived at its peak.

When members of their society got too old to keep up with the tribe, they would taxidi na vouno astrepi (Engl. journey to the lightning god's mountain). Thus the mountain became a very sacred place over time, and it became taboo to attempt to climb its peak unless it was your time.

Expansion
The [Plainsmen People] expanded slowly, filling the area around [The Lonely Mountain] until the (3) period where they settled independently into two different cultures:
 * In the river-valley flowing directly from the East of the mountain, they settled in where the modern-day [Deceitful Ones] now reside.
 * In the North-West of the [Desert Continent] they settled in the river delta. This culture became known as the [Temp: Atlanteans].

Metagame Notes
The god Githastrepi comes from a mixing of two Greek words: καταιγίδα (Engl. storm) and αστραπή (Engl. lightning). The two words 'kataigitha-astrepi' were merged over time, and the first part 'katai' was shortened.

The phrase taxidi na vouno astrepi could be translated as a journey to either the 'mountain lightning' or the 'lightning's mountain'.

Their appearance is very reliant on a modern Arabic Egyptian's look.
