The Rekozolic tribes (Rekozolese:, Hikna ro Reki Zoli) is common name of the nine tribes , which inhabited the island of Rekilan approximately between and. All the nine tribes had mutually intelligible languages. The first writing system in these languages appeared in 27th century in Alimoka language (the first evidence of its existence refers to ). The tribes are called: Alimoka, Drekin, Ekmilor, Gukiros, Ikotiz, Kiolkan, Nimola, Plenik and Vatimil. Each of the tribes share the name with their languages, all of which are entirely extinct (the last of them, the Gukiros language became extinct in the 35th century). Modern Rekozolese people are descendants mostly of Kiolkan and Ekmilor tribes, and Rekozolese language is descendant of Kiolkan language, with influence of outside languages.

Origin of the name
The term Rekozolic comes from Rekozolese   (Reki) - Green and  (Zoli) - Land, so "Rekozolic tribes" literally means "tribes of the green land"

Lifestyle
Since the climate of the island is subpolar oceanic, there are no edible fruit or vegetables on the island. So at first the only type of getting food for the tribes was hunting. Their first clothing was made of animal skins, but in the 15th century weaving was invented and then clothing was made mostly of birch fiber called Leos Rai. Their common religion was kilopenity - the worship of the nature. In kilopenity there are two main gods - Ikoli and Krino. Ikoli is the god of air, water and the sun. Krino is the god of fire, forest, ground and labour. For example, when agriculture became widely used in 22nd century, in the spring farmers prayed to Krino, since he is the god of ground and labour, and in the summer they prayed to Ikoli to have enough rain and sunshine, since he is the god of air, water and the sun.

Settlements
The tribes are thought to be founders of Surabao, the modern capital of Rikonzolia. The city has nearly entirely changed. Only one ancient house in Surabao is strongly protected by law. Today there are 22 other tribes' ancient settlements, which are protected by law on Rekilan. They are called the Kokion settlements (' (Ko) - ancient, old; ' (Kion) - art, paint, culture). They are allowed to be visited by tourisits, but the buildings are hardening by architects and archeologists. The idea of such settlements is to make a museum villages - they should look exactly the same as in the times of tribes.
