Anaba shamans, like the rest of their Minotaur tribe, live in a hidden part of the Koskun Mountains of Ulgrotha. [1]
Description
Shamans amongst the Anaba tribe are usually female, those who are in tune with the mountains and the weather. Where the Anaba spirit crafters work primarily with the world of spirits, the shaman is much more involved with talking with storms, leading ceremonies, and helping tattoo those who have bravely endured peril and hardship.[2]
One significant rite is the coming-of-age ceremony, where the shaman performs a ritualistic scarring of the minotaur youth.[3]
Anaba shamans are sometimes tormented by wind spirits who taunt them and call them bad names, but if a shaman can win their friendship, the wind creatures have much to teach about the world and its secrets. The ability to call lightning down upon their enemies is one of the shamans' most powerful magics, and no Anaba would ever consider call itself a true shaman unless it could control the powers of the storm.[2]
The Anaba shamans held a special relationship with the Planeswalker Feroz, who dwelled among them for some time.[4]
