Editing Gaesati (section)

= Warfare =

The Gaesati are not warlike, but in the course of history they have had to fight with both the Eskarans and the Goblins and nowadays also the Templars. They do not have weapons specifically designed for war, so they use the same tools as they do for hunting: spears, bows, knives, lassos which they use for reindeer capture, and traps set in the woods.

The Gaesati people will only fight when it is the absolutely last resort. Whenever possible, they hide in forests and marshes, or flee to the fjells where no one dares to follow them. They also tend to pay a lot of coercive tax on their meager assets rather than engage in a fight or open rebellion against their oppressors. However, if the tribe does engage in rebellion, it will do so with determination and steadfastness and will not give up until its blood is shed in the last drop. This is because the tribe then considers the alternative to be death anyway and has nothing to lose. Winter in the north teaches people that you do not give up if you want to live.
