Lhoaven (tribe)

The Lhoaven are a Vahianic tribal group of southern Kuo, where they were widespread prior to the 19th century. A nomadic, horse-riding people, their territory often fluctuated with the seasons as they migrated across the steppe and engaged in warfare with neighboring tribes. The traditional meeting-ground of the Lhoaven was at Artuqar (modern Lhoaven Kisku).
