Hi everybody,

In the current campaign I'm narrating, there is an odaylan hunter in the group (it's an orlanthi clan saga near in the Lismelder tribe, losely based on the Greydog campaign).
Things are going quite well, but there is something I'm having some difficulties with. I lack some references on how to portray an odaylan, their place in orlanthi society (or lack of it), and how others see them.

I know they're somewhat outside of society, but not as much as a humakti. It's where to put the bar where I fail. Its difficult for me to find ideas on how other people trate them, namely:
- The prototypical orlanthi.

• The prototypical ernalda worshipper, and difficulties finding a partner or a wife. Even whether odaylans usually marry.
• How other hunters see them.
• How a humakti would see them too, and how they react to each other. The way I see it, odaylans are more acceptable of Death as part of the cycle of life than the usual orlanthi, so maybe they don't shun a humakti as much as others do.

Besides, I lack some real life or narrative references for them (literature or movies). I find those useful, at least at first.

And well, I thought that you could help me a little with this issue. Either by explanation or myths :).

Thanks,

-Sergi
