Cultures:  Gutree are a primitive tribal race.  Each Tribe is ruled by a Shaman, who will often show minor force abilities.  To a Gutree their 'life' means everything.  By 'life' they actually mean their memories.  By defeating ones enemies a Gutree can take their memories, or give them if they lose, as is their code of honour.  Such contests are usually single contests of the Bastaska.  Upon first contact with a new tribe or group a single champion from each side will take part in the Bastaska duel.  Regardless of the fight outcome, the fact that the contest was fought is enough for both sides to consider the other worthy of friendship.
