Despite the common belief that tribesmen with unique magic were the most important members of the tribe, or otherwise known as the few elders and their inner circles, every man and woman who could put two and two together, knew that their importance was over-glorified.

Hunters were the most important members, through and through! That was why there were so many of them.
