The Northeast. Nunnehi of the Passamaquoddy tribe of the Abnaki Confederation.
The Nagumwasuck are shy, elusive, and self-conscious of their ugly appearance, but are friendly, helpful and decent Nunnehi, held in high regard by the Passamaquoddy as bringers of good fortune. Dwelling close to their favoured tribe, they acted as protectors of the tribal children, and gifted boons of luck on those in hunting parties.
Generally of Dogwood legacies, their tribal structure, dress, and customs were strongly modeled on the Passamaquoddy, but sadly they have been in decline over time, many retiring to hidden Freeholds. Even the Passamaquoddy sadly acknowledge that the Nagumwasuck seem to have deserted them, 'sailing away in a stone canoe'. This is actually very accurate, for those few Nagumwasuck that survive have formed strong relations with the May-may-gwya-shi, living alongside them in their concealed rock freeholds.
Mournful singers, they would often sing sorrowful dirges at the death of a tribesman, and they maintain a certain feeling of sorrow with them in these dying days.
Much more conservative in their dress than their Mekumwasuck brethren, the Nagumwasuck share the same stature, but are not 'hairy-faced'. Instead, they possess overlarge noses, puckered faces, and piggy eyes.
Younglings of the Nagumwasuck are friendly, helpful and innocent, barely even conceiving of the pranks that other children engage in.
Braves of the Nagumwasuck strive to improve the lot of those around them, bringing luck and misdirecting potential problems. Disdaining violence, they prefer to deal with problems by guile, cunning, and cantrip.
Elders of the Nagumwasuck are the organisers and caretakers of their tribe, lending their wisdom, expertise and advice to the younglings and braves. Deeply compassionate Nunnehi, they sometimes go as far as complete pacifism, loathe to directly hurt even the direst of foes.
The Nagumwasuck generally maintain their traditional lifestyle, somewhat adapted to their close association with the May-may-gwya-shi, and adopting a much more gender balanced culture. In the modern era, many have entered into caring professions such as social-wrokers, medics, counsellors, and samaritans.
Actor
Boon of Fortune: They Nagumwasuck are possessed of great individual and luck gifting powers. They will never botch any roll they make. In addition, they can gift the same luck on anyone else for the cost of 1 Glamour point a week. They can also lower the difficulties of all rolls for themselves or a target for a scene for 1 Glamour point.
Elusive Spirit: Like their Mekumwasuck brethren, the Nagumwasuck are extremely good at making themselves inconspicuous. Although they don't actually become invisible they gain an additional two dice on any Stealth related roll. By spending a point of Willpower they can induce mortals to look everywhere but where they are, thus remaining 'out of sight'.
