The Zeswa are a clan of nomads that live in the Upper Plains of the Western Frontier. Proud, boisterous, and loving, the Zeswa, talk loudly, feel strongly, and play fiercely. They are a clan of fearless pa’li riders, renowned for their war-like competitions and over-the-top celebrations. They are led by an olo’eyktan and tsahìk who are sisters. The clan’s full name is Zeswa Sopyu, meaning ‘grass traveler’.
The Zeswa live in complete harmony with giant, empathic animals called zakru, finding warmth and shelter in the shade of resting zakru and basing their diet around the animals’ milk. The zakru are able to sense the presence of danger near the clan, as well as changes in their moods. When the Zeswa grieve, so do the zakru. And, when they celebrate, the animals sleep, content.
