Are there too few of them?"</span><br/><br/>Gleywine pondered a moment over that question. There were a lot of reasons for that, none of it was it alone, it was more or less a result of all of them.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“No, there are a lot of them. I guess there are multiple times Uhuru than Getalians. But it has a lot of reasons, why they don't fight us. First and foremost it is their culture. They are independent, there is no greater leader than the chief of village. Oh, they respect each other, they meet two or three times the year and everytime they exchange young women between the villages to keep the blood from becoming week. The Uhuru are very strict, when it comes to family. There is a two-day ceremony for a young woman and young man, before they are allowed to live together. The women are all virgins coming into such a ceremony at the age of 18 or 19, I believe. If one isn't a virgin, she gets shunned and has to leave the village. It is a death sentence, you can't survive alone in those forests. So the young girls are all guarding their virginity very well. But, every village is independent. Who should lead them, if they fight united? Every village would fight for itself and they would have no chance against our organised troops.”</span><br/><br/>Gleywine found the idea of several thousands warriors in small groups attacking kind of funny. I would be a slaughter feast on the killing fields. But there were other reasons too. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“The next thing is...they are all fierce warriors. I have seen them hunt with their arrows and spears and they have no fear. They are fighting in the Arena just the same way. It has something to do with their religion. They believe that a hunter who was killed while trying to take down a larger prey is reborn as a drogon. Drogons are gigantic animals living in the air. If you see one, you will understand why the idea of being reborn as one is very tempting. But still, even all their braveness and audacity doesn't help them, when they have to face our modern weapons. They simply have no change to get close enough to attack our folks.” </span></div>
