Strange people(1)

The tribesmen had chosen the name Vogondhai for their people—a necessity imposed by the bureaucrats of Yarzat when it came time to file the legal documents for their settlement. After all, there were only so many times officials could refer to them as "the tribesmen" before the records became a tangled mess of confusion.

And so, for the sake of clarity and governance, Torghan's tribe became the Vogondhai.

The name was not chosen lightly, nor was it a mere convenience. Vogondhai meant "those who come from gold," a name steeped in meaning and reverence for the land they now called home. 

As the farmers sent by the court questioned about the feritility of the field, would speak of how during summer each village would look like a settlement built from golden land. 

To the normal eye, it was merely a harvest. But to the Vogondhai, it was a sign, a blessing from the spirits, proof that this land had accepted them.
