The Tribes of Malaya
Three factions, each with exclusive recipes, distinct warriors, and unique cultural strengths. Pick a tribe and lean into its specialty — you cannot craft another tribe's exclusive goods, only trade for them.
Tausug
Fierce warriors of the Sulu Archipelago, the Tausug are known for their mastery of fire and steel. Their exclusive knowledge of charcoal production gives them an edge in advanced weaponry.
Sugboanon
Masters of the sea and salt, the Sugboanon control the precious salt trade. Their culinary traditions produce the renowned Inasal, a delicacy sought across all tribes.
Taga-Ilog
River dwellers with deep knowledge of the earth, the Taga-Ilog extract gold from mineral deposits. Their Adobo is a treasured dish that sustains warriors through long campaigns.
