Jugisha

Jugicha is the home of the Tsu-tsu tribe and is the second largest city in the Plain of Horses. Its citizens are excellent hunters, herdsmen, and livestock producers. The city is a settlement of Fankiang rebels who broke with Li-Raz to establish their own community about 500 years ago. A realignment of hsing eventually developed into the Tsu-tsu tribe. About a century ago, the Tsu-tsu arranged a treaty with the Kashghun tribe with the idea of conquering the Fankiang in Li-Raz by attacking from opposite sides. The Tsu-tsu attacked from the north, but the Kashghun had a change of heart and decided not to participate. The Tsu-tsu withdrew. To this day, the Tsu-tsu and the Fankiang remain bitter rivals, while the treaty between the Tsu-tsu and the Kashghun, though still in effect, carries little weight.

The nomadic Tsu-tsu each have two homes — brick buildings for winter and tents for the summer. Much of the year is spent in the steppes with their herds of sheep and cattle. They are proficient horse breeders and also engage in pig breeding, an activity unique to the Tsu-tsu. They are also among the nation’s best hunters and fishermen.
