Thousands of years ago, a few tribes of the noverek began to drift away from their original culture after being geographically separated by an avallanche in the mountains. This small group grew more attuned to the wilderness and their animal symbols than other noverek, and they became the lecsap nation. Gone were the tribes that diferentiated them by animal symbols; each individual lecsap took on three animal symbols: a predator, a prey, and a third of their own personal choosing. Instead, the tribes of the lecsap developed merely around territories. There remain to this day six major tribes:

• Északkeleti: northeastern
• Délnyugati: southwestern
• Központi: central
• Északnyugati: northwestern
• Délkeleti: southeastern
• Keleti: eastern

Each tribe is led by a group of elders, each one with a favored symbolic apex predator (wolf, bear, or turul, usually). These elders are usually those who have aged out of being able to hunt. Most of the rest of the tribe are hunters, with only a handful of gatherers and other roles.

Lecsap children are raised by the entire tribe, with the gatherers and elders doing most of the work until the children are old enough to start learning to hunt. Those who show aptitude for a specific task as a gatherer might be drawn to that role, but most gatherers are simply those who aren't very good at hunting. Unlike other noverek, lecsap hunt in their animal form almost exclusively. They keep animal blood in special skins called nehéz bőrök (sing. nehéz bőr) in order to be able to transform each day. They do this by keeping their symbol animals as pets.

Their symbol predators are taken from the first predator animal they capture to keep as a pet on a hunt. Before this, they use the blood of another hunter's pet. Their symbol prey is the first prey animal they kill while using their first animal form. And their third symbol animal is the animal they dream of after they have the first two. They must tell their dreams each night to the tribe's priestesses, who interpret them and guide them until they have their third animal. If their third animal is also a predator, they will sometimes release their original animal in favor of it, as it feels more personal and close to them. Every tribe tends to have a large number of animals in it.

When they have their third animal, they are considered to be adults in the tribe and have the right to vote on major tribal issues. They are inducted into adulthood with a ceremony that bonds them by blood to their three animals.
