I want to get some ideas out pertaining to this area so this is a very rough draft atm...

Welcome to the Diamond Sandbox of Death, Dearth, Doom, and Death, some more!

Ixpats:
Scythian expatriates on the lam have oft sought safe havens or to obfuscate discovery through disguise or even disfigurement, only brutal wilds offer much reprieve to the patient and persistent Ixians. Many fleeing Scythian have sought solace in the desolate diamond dunes, few lived to see seasonal change, for most luck and life expired soon after the last drops from their water skins, yet some did persevere...

Think Inuit cum Bedouin, riding giant armadillos (Glyptodons) each towing on skids an empty shell.

Total Ixpat population: c. 800 scattered and roving.

Roughly 60 to 90 family groups, limited in their size by the number of dominated Glyptodons they husband. Each Glyptodon towing a shell which may easily house six adults yet twelve is possible in emergencies (think clown car packed). Thus, many families are about six members per armadillo with a three shell family seemingly the goal and the practical maximum since families greater than twenty ofttimes split thru rightful and occurring rites.

Tradition dictates comity when two families share shade;
posterity requires the two to smote the third on approach.

Likely levels for # in group:
6=5/2/2/1/0/0
12=6/4/3/3/2/2/1/1/1/0/0/0
18=7/4/4/3/3/3/2/2/2/1/1/1/1/1/0/0/0/0
