At some point in every male Lamemda's life they are expected to make the trip to [[Mon'gel]], a small city made up of the mentally unstable and physically unfit. These refugees from the harsh rules and laws of their people are considered clanless. They have managed to make the long dangerous trip accross the plains to this rugged small section of gentle rolling hills that surround a large deep valley. In the center of the valley stands the statue of Mon'gel. It stands over 50 feet tall. A strong masculin warrior of unknown race. He holds a brutal looking sword in one hand and a savage looking axe in the other.  
Mon'gel is the god of war, battle and warriors. He has no priests, no temples and expects nothing from his people except for them to fight with skill and honour. Every warrior will offer thanks to Mon'gel for victory in battle and pray for his support in the raids and fighting to come.
 
At some point in every male Lamemda's life they are expected to make the trip to [[Mon'gel]]. This city is located in the center of the largest wind swept set of plains. Here they will come to bow and kneel at the foot of his statue. They will also offer up a gift to the caretakers of the city and the statue.

No space travel yet but close to it. Excellent weapons and power systems. One of the most important changes has been the development of a mechanical mount. It flys through the air on a cushion of air about 1 yard off the ground. Made for one, it has a seat and body that is shaped much like one of their traditional living mounts. The neck like projection at the front ends in a control panel that displays all the operational data. In battle it can be controled by voice and knee pressure.
 
It's incredible speed and manoverability was felt to be nessasary as a counter to the increased accuracy and deadly potential of newer, more technologicaly superior weapons. Supriseingly enough most of these weapons are seldom used in raids or wars. The warriors prefer the more traditional weapons or those few newer ones that still retain the feel and need for continual practice as they depend on the warrior for their accuracy and skill.
