Apophis | Year 15

Apophis continues south through the forests. The deep green shades of the precious stones in this area vaguely remind him of the blue stones he had seen sometime ago, but they seemed to be of higher quality in general terms. They were reminiscent of the treetops, in much the same way that their predecessors had reminded him of the river. He hoped to have the opportunity to do something with them, sometime in the future. Finding, as of yet, no company, he retreated further into the comforting solitude of his mind.

Action: Apophis continues south, and continues to study the Dreamworld [Psionics].

Eliphas Clan

The Great Spirit acts in strange ways. After years of trying, Jass and his original partner Mabe had given birth to yet another child who did not live. Meanwhile, Jass and Mala were blessed with a healthy baby girl and healthy mother. While not officially ending their courtship, things became estranged between Jass and Mabe. They spent less time together outside of working on Mabe's project and the exchanges they did make were rather cold and distant. Jabe, young mind fresh off his first failure on his own, was none the wiser as he was focused mostly on his dream - to guide the herds of sheep. He rejoined his mother and father for their project, hoping that this year they would yield results. He could come back to melting and shaping the beautiful stones later, as there was no real rush. The tribe was growing, and despite the number of mouths to feed going up, they still hunted and gathered enough to pack away food for later years.

The work of the Silver River Tribe in taming its Llamas meant that if the wild Llamas migrated out of the area, there would be a source of tame Llamas here to work with. They did need additional plant food, but in the near future they would be quite useful to the tribe. Ixidor dreamt up a way to lead the Llamas around easier and went to work making them using the stalks of the edible grasses growing in the lands around the tribe's home. Additional work into finding the secret of Nature healing occupied Meru's time while Tafari went between the two of them assisting as he could.

The Pentakuk, Year 15

The shelter was of circular shape, with large branches hacked straight and clean as beams, meeting in the center and tied with braided plant fibers to keep them in place. They were hammered into the earth with a flat stone, their bottoms sharpened to easily split and rest themselves within the dirt and snow. A pit was dug in the center of the tent, and lined with smooth stones, with larger square stones forming a ring around it, as to prevent much of the embers from leaping forth from their hole. The walls were defined by branches, weaved together with thinner, flexible branches, while the outside was sealed with mud, and finally covered with hides - as to seal out the cold. The very center of the roof was open - with a small, circular vent, as to allow smoke to escape from the hearth, and keep the blinding smoke from their eyes. The bottom of the walls, were lined with rocks, bound together with mud, and the hides draped forth onto the ground, hammered down with sharp sticks and weighted with large stones. The inside was quite barren - with beds of dry nettles, covered in hides forming a ring around their fire. Their baskets and tools, communally owned, lazily strewn about - sometimes buried beneath their crude bedding. Larger than many of this time, the Pentakuk could only therefore fit at most six people inside one of these shelters, and it soon became apparent that they would need to raise atleast three to house all their adults and children adequately. Thus, began this project, and by the year fifteen they had raised but one, with another nearly completed. Qimmiq, and his helpful assistant Nuniq, dutifully worked at this task - their hands always sore from work, and their clothes always caked with mud. Such a task would take atleast two years more, but the refuge from the bitter weather would make such completely worthwhile.

The year came as all others had. Freezing temperatures vanished and the melt sent new fresh waters down the Silver River. This year however, was not the year of silver. This year was the year of Copper. Discovered in the mountains to the southeast some time ago, Astaro was sent to retrieve this strange metallic substance that shone as if it were the sunset. The properties of this strange metal gave rise to Tafari wishing to use it in other ways. While it could be beaten into shapes with what tools they had on hand, there had to be a better way of making useful tools from it. He would spend most of his time working on this idea with intermittent help from Meru who tried to help both Tafari and Ixidor on their separate projects.

There were many uses for the Llama, though for now they were simply kept as if they were pets. They would be fed and taken care of by the children who could do little more than play with them and work the lightest of chores. For their benefit, more work was being put into the corral, using some of the stockpiled oak wood that the tribe had on hand for construction purposes.

The new, young workers set about erecting another shelter for the growing tribe. Already having three, a fourth shelter would help keep the tribe comfortable as their numbers continued to grow. Soon several more shelters would be needed as more of the children grew older and took up lives of their own. This year two more naming ceremonies took place as Faen took the name Iados and during her ceremony Za took on the name Xanaphia. They had survived the earliest part of their lives and were ready to be remembered by the spirits by a name of their own.

Apophis | Year 16

Apophis had been trekking for some time. He felt somewhat lost, and his bearings had begun to falter. Retreating further into his mind seemed to offer the only real solution to his current predicament, although even that felt as though he was treading and retreading ground he had tread before. His nights offered a gentle respite from the outer world, and he felt as though he had become markedly leaner since retreating from the river. The wild boar in this region, yes, could feed him if he happened across an injured one, but he was not confident enough to hunt for them yet. He had no choice, it seemed, but to spend more and more time in his dreams.

Having grasped the basics of psionics, Apophis attempts to reach out to the shadows in the Dreamworld - Apophis studies Dreamwalking, to try and communicate with others who dream.

The Sea-Blessed

Strands of the Garth
Year of Remembered Love

It was just after sunrise as the two walked along the banks of the river. Her ankles splashed through the crystal clear water, moving from one enormous rock in the swiftly flowing current to another with the surety of long familiarity with the wilds. His feet were slower, less sure, but each movement was considered with the weight of long years. His brow was darker than those of her kindred, hair already touched with gray at the temples despite his five and twenty winters, but that mattered little to the elfin woman who ran ahead of him laughing. At last she had found the man beyond the horizon, the man given to her by the Father as a mate for the life-ages.

A time of riotous life. Bellies filled with food so much that the want of the past seemed almost immaterial, and young men and women grown toward the flower of their adulthood now equal sharers in the beauty of the World-That-Is. Small balls of white fur and gray pelt played in the shade of the Mother Tree, yipping cries endearing them to their master and his adopted kindred. A peaceful world.

Eliphas Clan

The first step towards Jabe's dream had been accomplished, much to his delight. The horned beasts that roamed the forest now were used to human contact, and did not immediately flee upon detecting clan members. The herds had also come a bit closer to camp, though they were still weary of their once predators. To fully accomplish his dream of mastering the beasts, leading them and protecting them from the wolves, that would take more time. Something that his still developing brain was beginning to comprehend fully. As he aged into adulthood Jabe became more rigid in his thoughts, though for now he still retained some part of the youthful freedom of mind that the Great Spirit granted children. Indeed, it was his idea to get the herds to associate humans with food, through the use of the delicious berries that both man and animal loved.

Now that the introduction phase was done, it was fully Jabe's project. He still had the wisdom of his mother and the experience of his father, but the boy, now a man with the success of the project, wished to go further. He argued with his father, who saw this merely as a way to make the creatures docile and easy pickings for hunting. While Jabe did admit that they would be hunted when the time came, his plan was further thinking. He wished to keep a number of the animals at camp, raise and tend to them, and use them for more than just meat and hide. He had noted, for example, that the beasts' long fur could serve as a good binding in large enough quantities, and they nursed their children like a human mother would. Perhaps their milk would suffice as a drink more flavorful than water. All of this called for the less-skittish sheep to become friendly, and this would certainly take a while, but yield great benefits in the end.

The Pentakuk, Year 16

The five tents stood in a semicircle around the central work-space, where bones were carved, baskets weaved, and most food prepared. Hides stacked up, scraped, prepared for use scatter around, and much of the ground is stained with deer and beaver blood. A society of great wealth, not with precious stones or necessarily groundbreaking technology, but in social order and stability. The second generation was slowly becoming of age, and soon enough a third would spring fourth. They were not excessively plump, they knew hunger, but starvation seemed almost an impossibility, the land providing them with enough without question. Even the memory of the great shadow seemed distant, it's shade far from home, unseen, thankfully.

Apophis | Year 17

Apophis found himself as alone in the shadowed realm as he was in reality. He had successfully stepped through the gaps in his own mind, and found himself lost in some deep abyss between his own thoughts. Yet, he understood palpably a distinction between this and his thoughts. It was constituted of his mind, but not constituted BY it. It had its own shape, and its own contours, which simply resided for the moment about his own mind, revealed and conformed to by his own psionic magic. The realm was more foreboding than reality; loneliness in reality seemed overcomable, with animals and nature that offered some sanctity. But this shadow realm was something in which he found himself wholly bereft of company.

Apophis considered his current location - it seemed that he was not particularly well-resourced in this area. He would need to continue moving on, but his great migration had well-past its initial lustre.

Action: Apophis attempts to try and use Dreamwalking to contact other people, by pulling them forcibly into the Dreamworld. Apophis also travels south, not wanting to spend too much time in Dreamwalking.

Strands of the Garth
Year of Foreign Tongues

The stranger who had stumbled into the tribe the people of the Garth might have mistaken for a strange ape-man or bizarre creature, save for the obvious clothing it bore and the bizarre intonations it made with its throat. It was a curious thing, more wild and cagey than Lucius or Emilia had ever been. Apparently it was tired after a long journey, judging by how relieved it seemed to have found people, and how much it slept. They fed it small amounts of food, though it was capable of gleaning for itself, and at night Maria and Jarn would sit by the fire at times trying to make heads or tails of its speech.

An odd year. One filled with joy, for the long quest of Sylvia for a mate of her own had at last been fulfilled, and uncertainty, for other tribes beyond the horizon promised strange things. Still, much had to be done as it always was, under the Father's light.
