Shield of the River Clans – Bronze Age Sentinel

A fierce sentinel of the River Clans, standing in the dense mist of the reclaimed forests. Clad in layered leathers and and garments woven from natural fibers crafted by tribal artisans, her body marked with ritualistic charcoal and oxide tattoos evoking the spirits of drowned ancestors. Braided hair is adorned with feathers as a symbol of swift protection. Around her neck hang stamped bronze tokens — emblems of rank, memory, and blood-oaths. Her gaze is unshakable, forged through the cycles of storm and scarcity. Behind her, the blurred remnants of overgrown ruins whisper of forgotten empires. This post-apocalyptic Bronze Age warrior belongs to a matrilineal society built on fish trade, memory rites, and river-bound diplomacy — a culture reborn from rust, moss, and the ruins of steel.
