Incidentally, in my East Ralios there are (thanks to Jonas Schiott) moose Hsunchen, the Aleci. They're probably more prevalent in Keanos, 1) because it's sparsely populated with Orlanthi; 2) because parts of Keanos aren't well drained, and there are seasonal marshes. They probably live in the foothills of the Mislari Mountains, though they're nomadic. I assume their culture is similar to the Pralori or Damali.
They're famous in my campaign because Konall Intamorlsson was fostered to a Aleci shaman, and is known as "Moose Boy." I don't think he's forgiven his brother for sending him off to live with a primitive who wears a dress...
There are only about 1500 Aleci in the East Wilds, 4000 Pralori, and 4000 Damali. (There are of course many Damali and Pralori in nearby Pralorela.)

But of course!
