The great herds of bison on the plains were famous and the key meat for the endless feasts of the former God king. Many Shepherds kept a social understanding of herds, merging and leading together. The last vestiges of these great herds can be found in magic bells affixed to the top of a cane. The one who held it last was bandaged, scarred, and for all purposes mute. Their rhythmic shake of the bells call forth the memories of better days for the plains, when life thrived.
