Question

One leader of a renegade faction of these people, named Mayam, was killed in the ritual of the fire stakes when she lost her balance above a flaming pit. Gwyn-Teir and Mawu-Ka, who both led these people, died on the island of Helicon in battle against Bellerophon. Several monarchs of these people were named after their founder Cyane (“sigh-ANNE”), a teen who arrived among the Tretomlec tribe after time-traveling from the future. Varia (“VAHR-ee-uh”) aimed to reunite the twelve branches of these people, who had been split apart by their war with the (*) centaurs. Leadership among these people can be passed on by the right of caste, such as when Terreis (“TARRY-us”) gave hers to a bard from the village of Potidaea. The Telaquire tribe of these people, located in Greece, was led by Ephiny (“EFF-in-nee”) in the absence of Gabrielle. For 10 points, name these warrior people, some of whom allied with a (10[1])chakram-wielding princess named Xena. ■END■ (10[1])
