=The Seven Cairns=
The Raptorlords call their home '''Aeva''', a land which is locked in a constant war among seven clans called '''Cairns'''. These Cairns are determined by ancestry, each Cairn able to determine nearly their entire family tree by the growing pile of skulls at the center of each Cairn's territory. Perhaps it is best to see Cairns as extended families of sorts, inbreeding among each other to keep their bloodlines as pure as possible. Exactly how they haven't all died out by this practice by thin blood has yet to be seen. The war itself is driven by the primal need of the Cairns to rise above each other, to leave only one Cairn left as the strongest in the land. And according to the Raptorlord, the war pleases their goddess of the world, in which the land takes its name.

Their bloodshed, their pain, their suffering, but also the strength of Her people which grows stronger and stronger with each passing generation of warriors is to lead to the naming of a victor, one singular Cairn to survive, which would please the goddess the most. Religion by natural selection, if you would.
