The Kingdom's exploration fleet took a good rest for a few days among the Kumeyaay Ipa Great Tribe. Scholar Mikki worked hard to communicate with the tribe's elders, learning more about the Northern Continent's intelligence.
The Kumeyaay Tribes are powerful tribes occupying the northern coast of the Peninsula--the Great Salt Lake--Colorado River and Gila River lower basin. Their controlled territory, which also includes Arizona's southwestern part, the southernmost tip of California, and the northern end of Baja California in Mexico in later generations.
In the water-scarce Northern Desert, this land, which has rivers and lakes suitable for farming, is a fertile ground fiercely contested by countless Northern Tribes. The tribe able to hold this land must have been left after numerous battles, a powerful tribe, or even a Tribal Alliance. The current Kumeyaay Tribes are in a distinct yet connected state, forming a vague tribal alliance prototype.
