We may group them together, if you want. They really have something in common.
Yeah, I prefer to group them, if it's not bothering you.
I mean, I don't see Turkmen as killers who often fight. They're not Mongolians !
They fight sometime because they disagree about territory or shelter's belonging. But they're from the same culture. They don't hate each other, they live in peace. They only fight other factions and Minerva vassals.
Those soldiers need challenge, and something to keep them in form. Going in the desert and look in the ruins seem to be a pretty good challenge, no ?
Plus, learning the pre-war languages could be really useful as battle language for the soldiers, some language than nobody except them understand.
And they need to be very good at orientation.
I think soldiers/stalkers must be the smartest people of the Turkmen, and when they become old, they become the chief of tribes.
It's some kind of military power, but not so, cuze those soldiers/stalkers are very wise.
What do you think ?
During middle ages training of a warrior might start when he is 5-6 y.o. One I’ve seen a battle armor for a 8 y.o. boy in museum.
Damn I did not know ! I'll go with your idea, then.
Maybe a kind of challenge?
The challenge could be to go alone in a city. When there younger than twelve, they go with a group or a master. I think it's better they have a master. Or one master for four youngs ? Tell me what's better, but I think a group of five people might be better. The master is an old man, but old in the harsh conditions of Turkmen life might be thirty or forty !
So when they turn twelve, they must go alone in the Desert and find an artifact in a city and come back to their master. A lot of children get lost in the desert though. It's hard to get his way in the desert if you didn't listen to your master's advices.
Maybe they protect others when all men are away? Or a special detachment for them?
I love the idea of a special detachment, some kind of elite troops. Maybe a division common to all the tribes ? Working as a link between all of them ? They could be mid spies mid elite soldiers.
I love it cuz it's similar to the Fish Speakers of Leto II
Because the Collapse took place in the beginning of 21st century and there is no powerful exoskeleton nowadays. Unfortunatelly.
*cries*
Maybe just wind goes radioactive sand to the north?
Then, why the wind didn't come earlier ? It doesn't really make sense. If it's wind, it should have come earlier, like ten years after the Collapse, you see ?
And in Russia we use an image of fat white polar fox’s coming as a metaphor for very big problems. I like you idea about fennecs.
Very funny metaphor ^^ I like it More seriously, those fennecs could be only hallucinations from the desert and some guys took it seriously. That's why "all" the Turkmen might be frightened.
No centralized government appears to exist.
Okay, I get it. We'll let the Mahdi for Fremen, ahah ^^
But a temporary alliance between some of the tribes should be good. And fit the scenario.
Or a way to turn the whole world (or nearby territories) into a place, where only Turkmen can survive. But who made it? What for? Why to hide it not far away from Russia in the middle of nowhere as Dan said?
Hum, like what ? A biological weapon ? It could be cool.
Who made it => one of the country, in prevention of WWIII, but they never could release it, not had the time.
What for => contaminate other countries
Why hide in the middle of nowhere => prevent on people getting it too easily. A military top-secret program, for exemple
Just like in the modern world – hope for weak ones.
Works for me ^-^

So, not in the details, they're very intelligent and good at trades, but hideous or enough genetically chanegd to be different of classic humans. They live in tribes and all the soldier must go wandering in the desert because it makes them who they are. They're pacific, I mena not hostile to everybody but something has changed. Someone found an artifact in the desert or a threat came from the desert and now they need to go in Minerva's territory.
Seems good enough for a start ahah ^^
