The Story
They came from a place far away, a land of steep hills, rushing
streams and deep, creeper-strewn forests. Sometimes, when the
heavy hanging mist clears and they stand on the top of the highest
hill, on the top of the highest tree in the territory and strain
their eyes, they can just about make out the point where the
biggest river meets the sea. Not that they know what the sea
is, but they know the stories from the elders. But now another
tribe’s territory stands between them and the ocean. A
fierce tribe, strong, powerful and war-like.
The tribe spend their days foraging in the forest collecting
all they need. The forest is their great provider, it was given
to them by the spirits, many of whom still live amongst the
trees.
Before any important undertaking, the spirits must be consulted
and the omens read. The Tribe set much store by the findings
of their shaman and have great fear of evil spirits. Many times
during their daily travels they will stop to conduct ceremonies,
asking the gods for permission to enter new parts of the forest
or looking for guidance on the way ahead.
The Tribe haven’t always lived here, their stories tell
of them as wandering folk, travelling over many lands herding
strange beasts and living with the seasons. But all that changed
when they reached the sacred forest. They no longer had need
of wandering and herding. The spirits had brought them home.
Our group must have been out when the attack happened, away
for days in the darker parts of the territory. By the time they
returned it was all over, the village overrun with their enemy.
They escaped capture by hiding in the soft mud by the riverside.
That night under the cover of darkness they crawled up the shore
and away into the mists to find their tribe. If anyone saw them
go they would have thought them spirits made real, caked in
the mud of the forest.
Since that day, they have wandered seeking The One that will
bring them home again and wearing the mud that saved them.
The journey has been long and they have visited some strange
lands, but none so strange as the one they find themselves in
now...
