Information About

Land-bonded Society




Land-bonded societies are strictly Agrarian , excluding inherently nomadic Pastoralists from society. They form from the fragments of lineage-bonded societies that merge together, and their only claim to social ties is the land they occupy.

While definitively larger than lineage-bonded societies, land-bonded societies share many of the same traits, including the inability to support age-grade sets and secret societies.

As land-bonded societies grow larger, they can change into Village-bonded Societies , which are able to simultaneously support Age Sets and Secret Societies , and enable them to Transition To Statehood
