1) Pusmal
The pusmal are bioengineering hive creatures who evolved underground. The Pusmal queens have unstable DNA, which allows them to control traits in its offspring. The queen's DNA contains all the traits the hive has, and the queen can influence the genes of the workers. Once a year, the queen enters the instability period, and thus produce mutated males with new traits. These males will then become the gene-stock for the rest of the year, becoming the harem of the queen. The workers can augment themselves by eating different minerals during their larval stage.
There are, biologically, 3 Pusmal castes; the Queen, the Prince, and the Worker. Queens can only stay on one location after adulthood, Princes mate with the Queen or get sent as gifts to other Queens, and the Workers are sterile females that do the hive's work. Culturally, however, the caste system is up to the players.
A Pusmal moves at about 30km a day, due to a body geared towards living in tunnels, having to stay out of the sun, and being primarily a digging type creature. The pusmals are unaffected by difficult terrain.

The suzumou are small, communal, wasp like creatures, who reproduce parasitically. They require a host for their eggs, this host usually being a sandworm. The suzumou have a powerful stinger which contains acidic venom, that they use to melt trough the hard shell of a sandworm so they can deposit their eggs inside the worm's flesh.
They can alter their venom's acidity, usually only releasing the acidic substance while they bore trough the shell. The other part of the venom is a neuro-toxin, which causes temporary paralysis, and semi comatose state in the victims. As the venom fades from the victim's body, it will wake up and be able to move again, unless the suzumou sting it again.
The suzumou are very lightly built, though resilient for their size. They can fly relatively well, although not very fast. They communicate trough body language and chirping, the orange wings play a large part in their communication. All their 4 wing pairs have bioluminicient veins, that play into their communication.
Most suzumou tribes of the desert use adolescent worms to breed. They track these worms down, paralyze them and lay their eggs in them. Then they will continue to follow the worm until their young burst out of it's flesh. This process is quite harmful for the young worms, and many die because of it. These small nomadic tribes revere the worms, and often conduct elaborate rituals to honor the worms and to appease them.
Few, lucky tribes have found themselves a godworm, in which to live. Due to the rarity of the godworms themselves, these tribes are few and far between, but they are often most powerful and influential ones, as they can stay in one place, and build up strength instead of being forced to be nomadic.
A suzumou can walk at about 50km a day, but can fly 150km a day.

>>22487029
Gorriogs are a race native to the massive desert which covers over half of Central Continent. Like nearly all other Glund descendants, they undergo complete metamorphosis (live birth as larvae, develop into pupae, and then emerge as toddlers).
They possess a wide field of vision of about 270 degrees (perception covers the infrared and much of the visible spectrum, as with most Glund descendants), electrical organs similar to the Hunter's Organ in an electric eel, and a partially externalized skeleton.
While not uncommon, Gorriogs are not necessarily aggressive creatures.
A gorrirog can cover 80km a day, their are not particularly fast, but have a strong endurance and do not need to stop so often.

>>22487053
Koburrogs are a very distant relative to Gorriogs. They are a species which can be called a living fossil, as they've been around for several million years while experiencing little change. They are small and fairly low on the food-chain. Koburrogs usually have twins or triplets, which are born as larvae.
They have the same externalized skeleton and perception which extends into the infrared as their relatives. An issue which has repeatedly caused them to revert back to the stone age time and time again is a slight lack of foresight along with some remnants of herd instincts.
A Koburrog can cover 80km a day, they move with haste, and rest for short periods where shade is available.

>>22487083
The tentouz are a species of tentacled flying bubble of methane. They produce this methane thanks to archaebacteria in their stomach. The gas fills constantly a network of chambers where a part is turned into dihydrogen which grants them propulsion bursts from their sprouts. Their mind works around this gas chambers: the neurons of the brain layer exchanges gaseous organic substances back and forth with scattered glands while stocking some of them in a vascular system to act as memory.
They communicate in a basic level with body language and express their more complex concepts by shifting their skin like a cuttlefish. The tentouz have a unique system of imunity. Every molecule neutralized by imunity molecules can be within a time be used sentiently as a new compound of the mind, as poison or as colour for their shifting skin. Their limbs are very weak. They have a relatively long lifespan, give birth at only one larvae at once that have a slow growth.
A tentouz can float 100km a day, but are able to do so safely at high altitudes.

>>22487108
The Kwagos are omnivorous, bipedal creatures who live in large pack like communities which are composed of mated pairs and usually ruled by the eldest females while the physically slightly stronger males usually protect the pack. They have, rough, somewhat rubbery skin, that is covered by a thin layer of oil. They communicate vocally, and trough body language, which is mostly done trough their facial expressions. They can emit wide range of noises, with the aid of their lips, tongue and most importantly, trough a bladder like organ on their forehead, which amplifies the voices they create.
The Kwagos breed somewhat like amphibians. Their eggs are covered by a thick, rubbery and translucent membrane, and even thicker layer of slime, which both protect the developing embryo. Unlike amphibians, the kwagos protect these eggs, carrying them in a "pouch" they form by folding their tail against their belly. The underside of the tail excretes nutrient rich slime, which keeps the eggs moist, as well as delivers extra nutrients to the developing embryo. Kwagos usually lay 1-3 eggs, which are roughly the size of a human fist.
The eggs develop in a few weeks, and after that the larvae are still held in the pouch for 1-3 months. Kwagos reach physical maturity at 5 years, and mental maturity at over 15 years. Kwagos are hot-blooded.
Kwagos, being the fastest land species, can travel 90km a day.

If you don't feel very creative (or maybe on the contrary), you can play as subgroups or divergent groups from previous tribes. Here are the ones available:
Hitangan/ Alphas- Gorrirog- Anon- kingdom in the mountains made of several merged tribes. Powerful fortresses, metal works, and trade. Have many warriors and a strange tool called the worm horn. Domesticated animals and Houyi allies.
Hu-raan- Koburrog- Notrip- Broke the curse of bad luck, masters of building and fashion.
Zarethedir- Pusmal- Onolkeshan- Powerful tribe of pusmal, but largely unaware of the surface world, were unaware of the Sandoni swarm war.
Zul-nul- Suzumo- Nad- Powerful tribe of suzumo, allied with the northern Gorrirog tribes during the swarm war, ulterior motives.
Zul-Nul Exiles- Wesper living within the body of the giant wesper creature "thickblood."
VietKoBurrong- Koburrog- NPC- Decimated over and over, only to rise again, scattered, broken, numerous factions. Experts at guerrilla warfare.

And that's about it! Start up your tribes! I'll answer any questions you have.

The first tale of the Hastun: "The land that shall bear our lives, shall be ours until the end of times"

The colour shades that may mean this has not been worn for a long time on the hides of the pale remnants of the Hastun. But the words have not been forgotten, still inscribed deeply in the dormant memories since the beginning of the great starve. The prophet of these words may still be living in the pack, as pale and as the others, no longer differentiable from its pairs. They have been guidied instinctively by this obsessive idea to seek for a more bounteous land. Wandering and roaming unnoticed on the desert sky for decades, they have forgotten the way to be themselves. But in a day, a green horizon appears, dawn of a new era. The Hastun catches a prey, feeds on it and awakes. Then he knows that he must stay awakened for ever. A few hours past, and the entire tribe is back on its minds. Their hides turns blue again, and then moving shades start to scatter around in tidal colour waves. The skin on their foreheads pulses and a sketch starts to design itself. The words appear again: "The land that shall bear our lives, shall be ours until the end of times" they become the sigil of the Hastun. All wear it, but then an other word, made of darker shades is formed. The word of their forgotten past, their lost origins. This word becomes sense of obliviousness and sacrilege. Forgetting is forbidden.

The remains who reached the jungle are composed of 30 adults and 5 larvae.
They now need to gather more food to feed themselves properly.
20 individuals stay around their landing point and tries to build deposits the higher they can. They tend to use clubs with stones as lever to move heavier stuff. Act by pairs to transport things. Gather cutting edge objects.
A second group goes to south to hunt. They fly higher than the canopy, counting on their powerful eyes to spot herds and big animals on the ground, circle them, and then go down to shoot them with acid mucus bubbles. They try to aim the head to kill quick and avoid spoiling meat, hides and scales.

Early attempts at figuring out the workings of more complex skills result in suffering. A tribal member is crushed under a rock as it rolls over atop him. thankfully a squish and somewhat robust biology saves the tentouz as gas is rapidly vented preventing rupture. This member will be out of commission and need medical care/ feeding as it recovers. The tribe catches an abundance of suls. they do not taste good, and are a sticky mess, but will fill their bellies tonight.

The hunters come back successful and are welcomed by frenetic tentacle waving and vivid colours.
The meal has for result to reinforce the vigour and elevate slightly the general intellect of the tribemen.
The remains of food are stocked in the deposits weakly built. Some try to look for useful parts on the suls but it's a lost cause.
They spend a few days on their stocks while at least 5 hastun keep awake to foresee any threat (night-time is not a problem for their superior vision).

Some tribemen spend some time on the wood collected to see how they could work it.
They first try to use cutting objects but their strenght lacks to work it as they would. They then find out that they can shape it slowly but precisely by pouring acid concentrated mucus on it. They try to build tools that they atatch with strings of llras.

An accident at the workshop happened! A Tentouz poured too much acidic mucus onto the wood, and it burned a hole through the workshop. Some wooden tools were also liquified in the process.

The young queen is pleased with their arrival in such an isolated place, but soon more pressing needs come to mind. She takes stock. 15 workers. 10 dumb miners and 5 fast ones. Not the best way to start a colony, but it would have to do. She looks to the sky, and the sun stares back unblinking. She wiggles her stubby legs in the soil, damp, without solidity. Not good for a chamber. She is out of ideas and weak from her long journey. She directs her workers to a nearby stand of vegetation, which helps relive the burning of the sun but her skin is still too warm.

Without the ability for true shelter she turns to her aching stomach. She sends out the fast stusval along the beach to scavenge for food. In the meanwhile she directs her dumb workers to bring her some of the smaller plants for a snack. When she notices the thing state of them she tells them to eat too.

>Did I do ok?

Rolled 8, 19 = 27

The workers only managed to save a bunch of knives from the accident that can merely be used to harvest some more llras or cut the sul meat.
They now need to hunt again while some others continue their experiments on wood.

Well, you forgot to mention what you are rolling for, but I assume it was gathering food? Generally it's one roll per different action, so for example if you wanted to hunt and make shelter in one post you can roll two d20s that post.

Anyways, food gathering result: The land is fertile, and lots of edible plants are easily foraged here. The workers bring fruit, which satisfy your tribe's hungers.

>>22488589
The hunters only manage to catch some more suls, and just about half of what they caught last time. The woodcarvers, however, had managed to learn from their mistake, and found out the exact acidity used to make wood temporarily pliable. The reshaped wood is then warmed on top of fire to strengthen it. Woodworking learned!

>>22488719
>Oh ok

With her hunger temporarily relived the queen turns her attention back to the boiling sun and her poor skin. As her workers were getting her food she had noticed small bugs living in the holes of the trees, which gave her an idea. She instructed her workers to begin working on a shelter made of trees leaning together, with their branches entangling to make a permanent canopy. And that even more leaves from other trees be added for extra shade.

The lack of rope or vines allows the tree branches to quickly come undone, a few workers get smacked in the face by the whipping brush. ((as long as you have not cleared your internet history, if you click the white box by your post, then go down to the bottom of the page, you can also delete a post and put up everything at once.))
>>22489601
The first attempt at rope weaving is not so good. The ropes snap frequently, and can sometimes whip back with dangerous speeds. The same individual who got crushed was just recovering when a rope lashed an eye. ouch.
>>22490381
Scouts fail to find anything viable in the immediate area, other then rocks. Where one rock is not a home though, many can be. The tribe starts to gather many, many rocks and piles them at the entrance to the cave, providing a much needed break from the ab-brha-wuo.

Once, a mere fledgling tribe, composed of only few dozen adults, the suzumou tribe calling themselves Zu-nul, the lost children, have risen to never before seen strength, in the aftermath of the Sandoni swarms rampage trough the desert. The countless corpses of the insectoid aggressors fed the tribe's Godworm, Zhen-qual and the tribe itself. In the end, the swarms were a boon for the tribe.

It has been few decades since the swarms rampaged trough the deserts, and now, most of even them have dispersed and the sandoni populations have stabilized. The Zu-nul tribe has grown in size, and their numbers linger in the hundreds. This growth was mostly supported by the discovery of gill worm farming in the underground lakes the tribe had an access to. These small, aquatic worms were easy to breed and feed, and thus they provided a stable source of food for the tribe, and in turn, allowed them to use most of their kills to feed their god, Zhen-qual, which in turn kept her healthy and in good strength.

>>22491592
This empowerment is starting to have it's effects, as the Zu-nul tribe has started to aggressively expand, both the underground network of tunnels they have dug in the crag where Zhen-qual resides, and in the surrounding deserts and the nearby oasis. The tribe has managed to keep at peace with the nearby gorrirog tribe, who also uses the oasis, for now at least.
Zhen-qual herself is also continuing her pursuits in creating an ideal spawn. She is one of a long lineage of Godworms, the memories she inherited from her ancestors stretching out to the fabled First, the one from who all godworms were born. The first was the one who learned the ways in which the godworms shape their flesh. The First was the one who tamed the parasites and learned how to use them. The First was the one who mastered the art of gifting memories, and because of the First, the other godworms exist.
And Zhen-qual's divine birth right, and duty, is to continue to work on the great goal the First started. The ideal worm, one which would never die.

All this, is of course, unknown to the Zu-nul, their existence is only a tool to further the goals of the enigmatic Godworm they so zealously worship and serve. They spread the message of Zhen-qual's wisdom to the other suzumou tribes they encounter, by forcibly converting them and absorbing them to their own tribe. Other races are also told the word of the godworm, and how the desert will claim those who do not serve the Hazuvaat.

>>22491605
Now, for the concrete actions of the tribe.
The Zu-nul are starting to face a minor housing problem with their increasing population, and thus, the tribe has started, a somewhat unorganized effort to construct more tunnels and burrows in their home crag.
There is also some concern over the water supplies, as due to few years of light rain water during the wet season, the water levels in their underwater lakes have shrunk somewhat. This has caused the tribe to both investigate the caverns in where the lakes reside for more of water, as well as send out scouts to locate any new oasises in the vicinity of their home.
Many of the tribe's outlying sandburrows were abandoned during the sandoni swarms rampage, but as the danger of the bugs has now passed, the tribe has started it's work to reclaim these burrows.

Rolled 16, 3, 9, 14, 16, 17, 15 = 90

>>22491632
Zhen-qual is continuing with her own schemes. The increased numbers of her followers has made directing them in an efficient manner increasingly difficult. Because of this, she has deemed it necessarily to create new Wormborns to help her rule over the Zu-nul. These new Wormbors will be a 3/4 mix of warriors and "seers" (shaman like figures), and their minds will be based on the template of Knixi.
Knixi herself returned from the Gorrirog empire, with new knowledge, that she shared with Zhen-qual. She now works as the current leader of the tribe. The information she acquired was mostly irrelevant, with the exception of the knowledge of small, black worms of the mountains, which intrigue Zhen-qual.
She has sent few of her loyal followers to investigate these obsidian worms further.
Finally, Zhen-qual is continuing on experimenting with her own spawn, manipulating their development in ways that will result in more viable spawn, smarter, stronger, and most importantly, more capable of controlling their flesh.

The queen is dismayed that her canopy did not work. But she notices an odd substance coming our of the mouth of one of her dumb workers.

The tribe spends a few days on its food stock. The hunters are more and more appreciated by their pairs and now benefit of knives to pre-cut their preys before to have less to carry.
The trees are too small and week here for the ambitions of the builders. And the animals have a too poor meat around here.
Once they waited for their wounded to heal they started moving down further south and settle where they can before starting again for the next day. The hunters lead while the workers carry their tools, taking the minimum.

The Rii'Dan are a tribe of Koburrog in the southern jungles who settled there trying to flee the harshness of the central desert. They settled in a lush area, without any particularly great dangers. They prospered in relative peace in the jungles, becoming a relatively powerful tribe spreading through the jungle. The rise in the toxicity of the jungle as well as the increase in spore production by the plants caused the Rii'Dan to be nearly wiped out. A small band of survivors fled towards the edge of the jungle, settling near the river. These few remaining Rii'Dan managed to eek out a meager existence following the relatively docile Mud Grubs and supplementing their diets with the fruits on their backs. The evolution of the Mother Grubs was like a godsend for these few Koburrog and they moved onto the Mother Grubs, living among the mobile groves.
They worship the Sun as a large flaming eye who is hunted across the heavens by the Moons.
They sacrifice parts of each meal in large pyres to the sun each day to sustain it's flight across the skys. Each night a live sacrifice is made to the Moons to distract them from their hunts. They often keep a portion of the food they manage to hunt for such sacrifices.

After the morning meal and sacrifice, Toptrai sends out a small party of the hunters and gatherers to find some more food for their tribe, as well as something for the nightly sacrifice.

Some of the gatherers sneak out into the jungle to find some sort of means to create a form of roof to protect against the rains of the jungles.

The Craftsmen gather some of the hair of the tribe to weave together to form some rope for the tribe.

>>22491648
The tribe are good at digging and expand their underground network enough to support further development and population. Water is not found, but one of the scout teams have ran afoul of a competing suzumo tribe who killed all but one of them. The scout reported how the captives were drained of all blood, and this was stored as "the water is sacred". Scouts who head to the east find mostly sand, but keep smelling moisture and find sightings of juvenile worms. Going back to the lost burrows was easy. Most of them were intact. Zhen-qual knows how to make new worm borns easily. The worm borns make for good leads to scout teams on "most holy missions". The Obsidian worms somehow burrow through solid slabs of volcanic glass and crackle with built up static. They are well adapted to their environment. Zhen-qual's remaining hybrid worm is violent to an extreme, often disappearing for a few days only to return with a full belly. Her new spawn need to be carried further away to avoid her hungry child, however subtle manipulations to baseline children has proved fruitful. The new worms are not what she hoped for, but more all the same. They grow more slowly.

The scouts go out again, this time a bit further. They run into a very small grove of fuzzy warm trees, growing around them in thick clusters are strange tube like plants.

Let's see how this goes..
Kwagos tribe of Rismal. Unlike the other older tribes, Rismal have only recently settled down and are only a small tribe. In the past they escaped the harshness of the desert south and from there they found the great lake. Rismal eat mostly fish (is there "normal" fish in this world?) they hunt from the shallow waters by using their one hand to keep a bait in the water and with other three they capture the fish that gets too close. They call the great lake "doto caspa" mirror of heaven and believe that the lake is inhabited by spirits that are neither good nor evil.

They have no houses and live under the trees and simple shelters. They only have the most basic tools that they use to hit and carve things. Perhaps their greatest thing is that they know how to make fire and use it to stay warm in the cold.

Does this sound ok?

Fhuf-ghar are just what the Maajha needed to upgrade the Hua-sha and the branches are spread out to line the walls and floor.

The splinter, though unfortunate for the scout, has undeniable potential. Using Fsh-bha-sha (sharp rock tools), some of the hoh-ghar are rounded off along their length and sharpened further at the tip to make Fsh-bha-hoh-ghar (sharp hollow tree tools), ideal for wielding unhindered and inflicting splinters, and hopefully more than that, on prey.

However, one Maajha member was a little over-zealous in his sharpening and lops the end off of his Fsh-bha-hoh-ghar. Another notices this and sarcastically tells him not to worry, as he could still use it to hit trees with. The sarcasm was lost on this one and he went and did just that.

Toptrai approaches the group, smacking down the ringleader of the mob and turns to the rest, commanding them to send out a small excursion towards the old hunters, following them to discern the cause of death and to recover what they can. Another small group is sent out to see if they can secure more food for the tribe for the evening, with specific commandments to travel away from where the others had gone.

Oh sorry i didn't know that they live in the north but i'm glad that it worked out. I was wondering that how much Kwagos can amplify their voice? Would it be possible to make voice loud enough to be used to "stun" fishes in the water?

Anyways the current method of fishing with bare arms works but it isn't the most effective way. Some of the males decided to find out new ways to prevent the escape of their prey.

Small group of females used their free time to scout the surroundings to learn more about their new homeland. While the females were scouting some of the older Kwagos started to make shelters by using plants and fallen branches. They had seen many things and knew that they will need shelter if they stay in this land. The children who stayed with the elders watched their work and soon imitated it by making small round huts from the small sticks and long grass.

Dirt, grime and blood smeared across Ydraioni, the Firstborn's face. The sudden wave shouting and cheering hit him as his legs gave way from the blinding pain in his skull. As he fell, he opened his eyes for one last drink of the mortal world before it slipped away from his grasp.

His last sight was that of the miserable soul that incited this uprising in the first place. Her name was Icouri the Usurper.

He tried one last time to rise to his challenger, but his limbs would not obey him. Icouri stood above him, hooting and raising the blood-stained stone above her head victoriously. Ydraioni's vision faded, and for a moment he was blind. In that last moment, he imagined, the crowd was cheering for him.

So passed Ydraioni the Liar. No more would the group wander the tundras in forced isolation under Ydraioni's tyranny.

Under their new leadership, the tribe named themselves the Ighqatar, "The sun's second rising." The memory of their origin had been wiped out through generations of manipulation and slavery, but in their grasp once again are the tools to write the next pages of their story.

With the new, expanded tunnels and burrows, the Zu-nul have no trouble with housing anymore, in fact, all the extra room can be easily used for storage. Some of the builders even get the idea of trying to store water in some of the lowest, un-used tunnels, so that they could have slightly larger water supply.
Some of the builders are also having slight concerns about the structural integrity of the increasingly large and complex tunnel network. Prior experiences with tunnel collapses make them fearful of such tragedies happening again. Because of this, effort is put into developing ways to reinforce the tunnels further, with such things as stones, poles made from kaskus trunks and from large bones.
One eccentric builder gets the wild idea of using the sand cement to construct structures above the sand, instead of digging into the sand and reinforcing the tunnel with the cement as it is dug. He tries to build a small, dome like shelter out of sand, to see if his idea is plausible.

The news of the scout's demise, and of the hostile suzumou tribe enrage the Zu-nul, and cause them to mobilize for war with religious zeal. The heretics shall face the Truth and be vanquished! Wormborn warriors, and normal suzumou are gathered to form a quick moving raiding party, that shall put down the heretical tribe. TO WAR!

The re-acquired sand burrows allow the Zu-nul to operate in a very large area once more. They hold supplies in these burrows, and trade from them, though the later activity has almost stopped, as the sandoni swarms made the roads far too dangerous for traders. For now, the burrows shall work as supply stations for hunters.

It has been many generations since the Dvargen came to this Holy land, promised to them by the spirits of Queens Past. Travelling beneath the endless sands is but a legend told by the elders, their fabled exodus from the Land of Culling where kin killed kin.
The Dvargen are a simple people subsisting in their underground hive and foraging both below and above ground. They fashion clothing from gathered fibrous roots wound together to warm and protect themselves and produce an alcoholic beverage called Bruu, a product of fermentation of a mash consisting mostly of local plant matter, used for ceremonial purposes. Their queen is a mother, monarch and spiritual leader believed to be to the conduit through which the spirits of the past may speak to the living. She rules by providence of being privy to the knowledge and wisdom of all the elders most importantly The Queens of the Past who rule the spirit world as they ruled in life.
Socially they function on a Caste/Clan system headed by the Males who sired the lineage. There are many clans who specialize in single tasks, weavers, Diggers, above ground gatherers, below ground gathers etc. Newborns are divvied up among clans by need of the Hive and accomplishment. If the Hive is in need of weavers more distinguished weaver clans receive more infants than untalented ones. New clans are created as needed.

Genetically Most Dvargen are descended from the intelligent foremen caste and offshoots of them. though, the handmaidens of the queen are of simple nonmutated Pusmals stock. Dvargen possessing advantageous mutations are extant and sucessful, However the average Dvarg is not much more than an intelligent tool user.

Their purple coloration comes from their ritualistic consumption of the purple Bruu.

As the two were just leaving the mortar balcony, the fort shook with an all to familiar rumbling. King Hunastrus rushed back to the edge of the balcony to see a great sandworm, one in its prime, erupt from the ground beneath the swarm of sandonis rushing to the north. If it were possible to smile with a beaked mouth, Hunastrus would be beaming.
Lined up in front of the fort were hundreds of Koburrogs, all clad in armor crafted from Ramel shells reinforced with bands of iron. As the Sandonis approached, many would be stopped by the hungry worm which found itself a feast like none before, thrashing about and smiting the bugs to later consume.

It is a joyous day for the Dvargen. The somber dirges for the passing of the queen have echoed their last throughout the hive for it is coronation day. The Young Queen Dvara daughter of Dvarno eagerly awaits the coming ceremony in her chamber. Her handmaidens shake the sand from her woven gown, a remainder of the beach upon which she bid farewell to her mother. As tradition the body of the last queen was carried into the lapping waves of the vast afterlife by her own personal handmaiden. As their figures disappeared beneath the surface all knew The Queens of the Past would welcome her into the cold wet palace to rule together for all eternity. Dvarno was a fickle and selfish ruler and many were glad to see her go. Many, except for Dvara who knew the old queens death would bring no respite to her. The nagging voice of her mother would never leave her mind neither would those of the queens before her. Their wisdom rained down upon her from the afterlife. Constantly. When the Clan elders enter with the Hand maidens it is a relief. The coronation ceremony is a small intimate affair. The Dvargen have no crowns. Dvara has already been present and influencing the hive with her pheromones since before her mother’s departure mimicking Dvarno’s every cloud as is tradition and necessity to ensure her scents are associated with and as those of the queen. All that is needed for the ceremonial passing of the monarchy is a small exchange of Bruu. He hand maidens fill a bowl for each Dvarg present. They sip from the bowl and pass it to another until the Bruu is all gone. A single hand maiden in the room remains sober to feed the Queen her share. Dvara has already become so large that her movements are slow and labored. The change has been unsettling for her having once been such an independent and adventurous Princess but the handmaidens make life easier for her.

Bruu becomes the drink of the working Dvargen and she becomes know as the Drunken Queen.

For years the two tribes fought each other. Neither side was winning, and the dusty tunnels beneath the mountains were becoming slick with Koburrog blood. But from an unholy union sprang the messiah child, the savior to bring all the tribes under the banner of the Mountain Spear and bind them together. The youngling was born alone, a strange enough event for a Koburrog. In the tradition of those south mountain tribes, he chose his own name as soon as he learned to speak. He named himself Khum, after their god Khumari.

Khum was a peerless warrior, stalking the tunnels between the warring tribes and slaying any he came across. After years alone in the tunnels, young koburrog started to defect from their own tribes, leaving to find this mysterious slayer. Khum eventually amassed enough followers of his own that he started his own tribe, the Khumar, deep in the back of the tunnels. After weeks of warring, Khum and his Khumar managed to assimilate both warring tribes under his banner. With an army at his back, Khum began preaching of Khumari's promise to his children, of how everything under the sky is the domain of the Khumar. They mass now in their warren of tunnels, waiting for the moment to strike out and claim their inheritance. Theirs is a form of Manifest Destiny, and they will not stop until the whole world is theirs.

Usually a South Mountain Koburrog will eat the flesh of slain enemies, but now there are no more enemies.

New water storage meets problems with structural issues. The new building techniques make the tunnels vastly safer. The new above ground structure is...functional. it proves its point.

The bushes which have been plotted around the settlement seem to be growing, provided the rain keeps up. Some of the tribesmen and women have taken up tending to these plants in a more organized fashion, planting more in areas bordering the tribe, and also experimenting with different plants and soils, and even pushing down entire wild fruits into the soil.

Time passes, and the fishermen come back emptyhanded. Just their luck, not a single fish here. The party will have to move further down the coast and keep trying. Several of them insist that there may be beasts that are easy to kill in the jungle far to the southwest, and that exploration in that direction must begin.

As the last of the structures are put together, there is a strange sentiment within the colony. Having the stability of a place to call home is glorious, but generations of wandering the coastline have codified a need to branch out in the tribe's heart.

Icouri, consulting with several advisors she has appointed, decides that the tribe should explore to the west. They will approach the jungles and look for food in both the coast and sea, and look for signs that there may be game just inland from the coast. She picks 5 of the hardiest tribesmen and orders them to organize an expedition to the west. The men accept, and soon have set out with their party.

Her advisors also inform her that some of the tribesmen have taken much pride in their dwellings, smoothing and cutting the kinks out of driftwood and selecting only the strongest, straightest pieces.

The Khumar's new slave labor was to work the tunnels alone; but alone, their labor is slow. The forced breeding is a success though, you have plenty of larvae now... just how many, exactly, is not of your guard's concern. The larvae are then moved to the food storage building...

during transportation, a larvae fell from the cradled arms of the workers; during the lashing the worker receives, the larvae crawled away unnoticed by the guards or the workers. It crawled away into the labyrinthine tunnels...

Thank goodness. Alright, one more post before bedtime.

The repairs go on smoothly thanks to the digger caste. Unfortunately their work is not yet done, for the growing colony needs more housing.

Rolling for:

The guards that received a lashing are to be placed among the slaves. New task for the slaves is reinforcing the existing tunnels. For this, muddy clay will be taken from the river outside and plastered onto the walls. They will work as a unit, going hall by hall.

Though the larvae are still mostly intact, the amount will never be enough. The breeding pair of slaves shall be made to keep breeding. They shall be given only what they need to survive. One pair of larvae shall be kept alive and raised as another breeding pair for a time when their parents die.

On Khum's orders, a deep pit is designed to be dug out in the largest central chamber. It will have small notches in the sides so that one may climb out, but not easily. This will be the Spawing Pit. All the larvae of the Khumar will be placed in this pit after they come into existence. They will stay in the pit until they mature, living off the minced chummy remains of the Breeding Slave's larvae. Once they mature, those that survive to climb out of the pit and will be welcomed into the Khumar as an equal. Those that must be pulled from the pit shall forever be a servant class, little better than slaves that work the tunnels.

All of the tools are gathered efficiently, and a spear is used by the lead to check for other quicksands in the area. After the trip, only two spears were left behind, to serve as markings of quicksand and a memorial. Cooking mud grubs is a problem; for mud grub flesh is high in water content, and their taste rots quicker after death. Just smoking them over a campfire won't do. Meanwhile, the leaves for canopy are actually useful in the form of pouches, which keeps the food handy. Housing... still needs work, but now the architects are learning from their errors. Gathering the sharp bamboo plants are risky, even with sharpened stones; plenty of workers get cut. Lots of bleeding, but no casualties. The corpse however, is found, even though the workers have to carry him in some leaf-bags.

The mud from the river above is easily turned into paste, which the slaves use to reinforce the tunnels. Their handiwork is adequate for Khum. The forced breeding program is very successful; so many larvae were produced, their parents threatened with death. But the 'spawning pit' went into problems; namely, during the dig, the floor gave out and took some slaves with it. A big cavern system lies below, the slaves that fell cannot be 'rescued' nor 'reclaimed'. Two slaves are seen escaping from the pile of bodies that were their slavemates.

Khum knows no setbacks, for the Khumar are the Chosen Children. The location of the Spawning Pit is moved somewhere else, a smaller chamber. The new spawning pit will widen dramatically at the bottom, to accommodate for the lost space.

The large cavern system is disregarded by Khum, but Kutai seems very interested in it. The little General gathers a band of forty or so warriors around herself, and together they begin to dig into the side of the chamber and slowly downwards, attempting to burrow into the walls of the cavern system.

Khum has instead set his eyes on the surface. The ancient legends tell of many resources on the surface, from food to building materials to fresh slaves. If the world was his gift, Khum thought, Then why should he not go and reap the worlds bounty? He gathers sixteen of the fleetest warriors and sends them off in pairs in every direction. They shall be the forerunners to the glorious march of Khumarian armies.

The explorers, a good pace west of home now, decide to collect several of these creatures, "burlongs" as they come to be called. The first question on their minds is of course, "Can we eat it?" Wandering the wilds does much for a healthy sense of caution, so the explorers carefully taste-test the creatures, nibbling small bits before committing to trying a whole. Extras are kept in tight satchels made of leaves to bring home to the tribe.

The sealong was a good catch, and celebration was had at the fortune. As the meal is brought home, the increasingly hungered tribe is set to hold another feast. However, their leader Icouri speaks reason to the tribe, and they instead ration out portions. There will be a time for feasting.

The explorers who did not carry the catch back to the tribe continue on, nearing the jungle, skirting the coastline for fish. Driven by their recent catch, they put off hunting game for now.

The team of tribesmen have engaged in a healthy competition of who can build the nicest home. Most continue to scavenge for driftwood, but some have begun attempting to piece together houses from living wood, beating at the slender trunks of young trees with sharps stones tied to sticks until they snap from their roots. They seem to be more flexible and more ornate, despite being able to bear less load.

Many rocks, however, break easily and don't hold their edge well, it seems. Some family members have taken to breaking rocks near the coast back home to keep up a supply of axeheads. One intrepid young Kwagos notices that certain rocks, when broken against each other, do form sharp edges that keep. How to spot them amongst the others? Well, that's the question, isn't it?

Fast forwarding several decades, a young prince was listening to the story of his great great great great great great great great grandfather, the first Hu-raanic king, Hunastrus. In it, it is said that the former king managed to slay twenty of the monstrous bugs, after his blade has shattered. The child sits and listens, completely enamored by the tales.

For a long time, frilla bark has been used by the Hu-raan for minor construction and firing brick. Two major communities are focused on the gathering the material. The additional bark can be used in trade with the Hitangan for iron.

With the expanse of the empire now pressing across the plains north of the desert, and into the vast sands themselves, farmers are pressed to produce more. Currently, the only thing to do is to expand onto less fertile land.

The Deep. The Abyss. The endless, limitless Sea of Sand. The deep reaches of the infinite earth, the other side of dark world. Who knows of the strange things that lurk there. In the place beyond Borgan knowledge, beyond insanity, the Pusmal eat, multiply, grow and spread. wider and wider they spread. Still they continue. Still they keep going. forever into the future. Forever into the past. and even now, at this very moment. There will likely never be an end.

In the blackness that lies under the ground, this place exists. It is a hole in the ground. And in that hole they live. As thought they had been rejected from the light of the sun. Loathed, scorned, ridiculed, cast out..

------------

From the ancient past the sandworms have been problem for the pusmals. Large worms eat many of them and while doing that they also destroy tunnels. Only the original hive have been safe from them because of the special wall the pusmals built in the past. Perhaps by studying these walls the Foremen might find out how it was made and is it possible to make more of this sandworm proof/repelling wall.

With the increased population there is slight shortage of food as the underground farms haven't grown enough compared to the population. They must be expanded so that they can feed the hordes of pusmals that live there.

Tirelessly they dig. For what? To where? they don't know. they just keep digging.

The new spawning pit encounters no problem but slowness. The loss of previous slaves have slowed the rest's work. Tunneling to the side is quite hazardous, as it seems that the chamber beneath them is bigger than previously thought. The scouts return: only two of the Northward scouts return, they were ambushed by flying insects, which harry them using spears. Northeast scouts fare better, but they only see badlands. Northwest scouts came under attack by the same creatures that hunted the North scouts, but they managed to fight them off. The Southward scouts find a very fertile land, and a set of tunnels and chambers not of Koburrog manufacture. They found some usable tools in there, and it could be habitable for Koburrogs. Southeast scouts followed a small river to a bay, and the Southwest scouts found a river whose banks are fertile.

Burlongs taste terrible, at least when swallowed raw; their underground nature makes them taste like the earth. During the trip to the west of camp, they saw a family of spotted Ramel, and a small herd of bulky Ramel. Hunting for fish again, they finally found a small place where the fish are kinda plentiful, even though it's quite some time walking from the camp. Construction quality improves somewhat when the builders use the young trunks as a kind of truss. The young Kwagos tries to knock a rock to another, but got yelled at by his mother; Knapping has to wait another day.

The expedition into the desert didn't find much, just lots and lots of sand. Some landmarks, however, were found in the desert, and by careful calculation the desert is slowly mapped with quite the precision. Three major landmarks were found: a small oasis with permanent water, a rock outcrop home to a Houyi pack, and a field with plenty of Usmal nests scattered about (feel free to place these on the map wherever on the desert near your civ). On some of the shipment, some small ores were found to stick to other iron ores, but this did not catch the curiosity of the workers, who just lumped it with the other ores. Meanwhile, the farmers managed to learn what specific crops grow at what time, and they could maximize their yields by a bit, at least for now.

The builders try to apply the new building techniques to the water storage chambers, in hopes that they could solve the structural issues.

The above ground structure sparks new ideas in the builders. They can use the cement to shape the sand to their liking! Not just strengthen the holes they dig. This realization causes some of the builders to start experimenting further with the cement, some try to build larger, more elaborate constructs, buildings with floors and so on. However, some of them attempt to emulate the statues the gorrirogs gifted to them, but with sand. They begin to shape the sand into the likeness of the worms, to revere their glory.

As the raiders approach the heretical tribe's territory, the wormborn warriors, praetorians, start to device the plan of their assault. The preatorians will scout ahead, while the smaller, normal suzumou warriors will covertly encircle the camp of the heretics, if possible. The 5 preatorians will launch the first strike, straight to the heart of the heretics, slaughtering their leaders, and any warriors who try to oppose them. The role of the smaller suzumou is to capture all those who try to escape, and subdue them, while also providing support to the praetorians when needed.

Shelters are built and now they have place they can call home. New fishing style makes acquiring food more easy and baskets can be used to store and move things. They now have more fish than they can eat but fish spoils too fast so they now must find a way to prevent this. Loads of food + Shelter = children, This is a time of growth for the Rismal and perhaps with luck there will be many healthy children. To honour the lake, males of the tribe decide to build runestone to please the spirits and thus make fishes fat and abundant.

Rolling for learning how to preserve fish, population growth and building runestone.

Here is a picture that showcases the sexual dimorphism of the Kwagos species.

The Males are slightly bigger and more muscular, due to the fact they evolved to protect the pack, as well as due to their competitions over the females, which tend to be quite physical, though rarely fatal. The competitions mostly involve loud shouting and "wrestling", in where the males lock their second arms together, and try to force their opponent to the ground.

The females are more lightly built, and slightly faster than the males. Their tail is much thicker, and more muscular, so that they can more easily carry the larvae and the eggs in their tail "pouch". Even though males also carry the young in the pouch, the females tend to do it more often. They also excrete more of the nutrient mucus from the underside of their tail, that feeds their young.

the application of new building techniques, as well as simply creating an inverted dome like what was on the surface allow for water pooling and storage. The new building attempts work quite well, as they are built for suzumos, and are more compact and layered. This makes them stronger. The sand statues are a bit crude, but clearly show enthusiasm and resemble the worms. The heretic camp is scouted thoroughly and quickly encircled. Their camp is made amongst the many husks of juvenile sandworms. As the Praetorians attacked they were caught in an ambush, and soon it was apparent the strike force was outnumbered two to one. Clearly these heretics had fallen far. Their heretics wings were burnt stumps, bodies ritually scarred, and had eye gored out. Weak willed scum! The praetorians held their own against the sudden influx, tactically flying back to their own lines, but a few caught arrow like projectiles in their bodies, nothing fatal, but it became apparent the projectiles were hollow and slowly bleeding them out.

The Obsidian worm was lured by days, sometimes sacrificing a willing scout to it's hungry maw, just to string it along to the Hitangan territory. The first thing the "Hitangans" did was to blow loudly into a horn. Next a strange old Gorrirog with milky white eyes began to yell into the air.

The Sandworms that come are smaller then the obsidian worm, but where it is only one, there are three of them. Thick blood heeds the pact, and arrives in a timely fashion. high enough to look like no more then a bird, soon a hungry swarm of wespers descends upon the sandworm, suicidally charging and exploding into it's softer mouth, or gnawing away where they can before retreating. A large warrior wearing a helmet with a tall red crest observes with his company of fighting men from a distance, waiting for the creature to get tired and sufficiently wounded. Flanking their sides are beasts not seen since the sandoni swarms.

At the conclusion of the swarm war, the survivors of the mountain kingdoms were the strongest. their resources were depleted and tension was high. Elements of their former Houyi allies turned on them in animal like fashion, and a week long gurilla war raged. During this time many civilians were killed. Even the royal families and old alphas fell to the sudden turn. There were still those Houyi who stood with their former allies, perhaps not out of allegiance, but out of value of strength, dominance. A lone captain mustered the remaining forces, as well as those who could fight. Vausik Odrinnius. With his leadership the rogue Houyi were killed, and the tribes strength proven. This was a bitter lesson learned, that perhaps only the strong are deserving despite the most noble of intentions. The weak must not be coddled, but grow strong or die. Comfortable delusions of equality are a thing now dead. Know your role, take it, and serve or die. A second conflict happened when the former kingdoms began to strip remaining settlements that were not within the immediate mountain region for resources to repair and repopulate. This lead to quick but brutal suppression of the outlying settlements and execution of some elders. Vausik pondered on this and realized, it was the old cultures that held them back. They were bound in tradition and it only served to bring division to them, division that was weak, petty...pathetic. There would be no more of the old tribes. Vausik destroyed records, censured certain stories, and punished those who would dwell in the past. The new generation that was born grew up with compulsory legion service from the time they could walk, and knew only of the old ways as a more ignorant time. All Hail Vausik Odrinnius the first!

Hopefully, they can convince the brutes to aid them in capturing this weakened beast now.

Meanwhile, the Zu-nul continue to experiment on their new building techniques.

The Zu-nul numbers keep on growing, but for how long? Even Zhen-qual has a limit in how many suzumou can gestate in her flesh without harming her. Eventually, a ceiling in the growth rate will be faced, and then, the tribe needs to find new ways of breeding, if they want to keep growing.

Explosion?!
What witchery was this!
The preatorians try to quickly make sense of the situation. They try to collect what surviving heretics still linger in the vicinity, and the loot to be sent to Zhen-qual with the normal suzumou warriors, so that nothing else happens to them.
The 5 praetorians themselves decide to remain in the ruined camp of the heretics, to scour it for any clues of what caused the explosion, or anything else of interest.

Some of the tunnel builders get an idea of how to fill the underground water storages of the tribe more efficiently. What if they built a small, underground channel to the nearby oasis, and directed some of that water to their own crag. This way, they would no longer have to harvest the plants they feed to the gill worms from the oasis, as they could grow them in the safety of their own crag.

The scouts curse the wespars, and back off. They are no use to Zhen-qual dead, so they decide to wait out for the wespars to leave. The obsidian worm will surely die, but maybe they can harvest something of use from their body. One of them however decides to make a near suicidal dash trough the raging swarm, towards the gorrirogs, in hopes of reaching them and delivering their message.

After twitching a bit because of the burnings suffered during the transfer, the craftsman enters in a kind of trance. He start shivering as the gas exchanges accelerate.

After a few seconds of this catatonic state he awakens and start stabilising itself. His minds boils of contradictions between concepts, enters in various moods. He is now able to gage the misunderstanding between the two castes and tries to consider each side apart. The empiricism of the workers over the superstitions of the hunters.

An air of fear swallows the expedition party as the canopy grows thicker above. Their people were strictly forbidden to enter the jungle. Few have been at its edge in generations, and none have entered.

As the housing war has died down, the young Kwagos are chided by their families and told they would hurt themselves. However, some of the more innovative Kwagos see great value in stone that holds its edge true, and begin to scour for more of the rock that keeps its edge.

Late one night, Icouri is approached by another of her advisors, Modyn the Distracted. Modyn, though easily distracted as she is so titled, was thought to be one of the foremost innovators who recieved any attention from their deposed and deceased ex-tyrant, Ydraioni the Liar. She was also a dear friend of Icouri. The attention she received from Ydraioni left Modyn to spend much time bound or caged in isolation. However, she learned to listen like none of the other tribespeople could. She also learned the importance of remembering the things she heard, and remembering them accurately.

She proposes to Icouri that we encourage the rest of the tribe to adopt her system of angular markings and gouges in wood and stone, with which she could remember everything she heard. Icouri decides to spend much time with Modyn to learn this system of hers, so that it may be passed on to others.

Zu-nul take no pleasure in the slaughter they were forced to commit against the heretics. No, it was a necessary deed, for their corruption had to be purged, before it could grow any stronger.
The revelation that the hated koburrogs had been in contact with the heretics causes great anger in the tribe. Surely, the koburrogs had been the ones who sowed the seeds of this corruption to the heretics. There will be vengeance! The patrols on the desert shall be increased, so that any intruders up to no good will be caught.

The interrogation of the captured heretics continues. The tribe and Zhen-qual try to learn as much as they can from the heretics, and their strange tools that the raiders recovered from their camp. This knowledge could be used to fight against other heretics in the long run!
Zhen-qual is quite interested in the way the heretics seemed to use young worms. They had done unspeakable things to these young worms, but they had survived because of it. Perhaps, these brutal methods could be the solution to the looming problem of stalling growth...

She orders her tribe to be cautious and watch the skies and keens her senses in order to detect any signature vibrations that the bombardment of the cursed flier caused. She then begins to study her new price.
The capsules claimed from the obsidian worm could hold great potential. Zhen-qual begins her experiments, by once again, trying to splice the genes of the worm with those of her own.

The hunt goes mostly well. The team is organised, and the shooters remain hidden throughout the duration. Flawed weapons are now functional, if imperfect.

Patrols are stretched thin with the various projects and Zhen-qual deligating more of her forces to protecting herself during this time of experimentation. the captive heretics are examined by the worm born, then again by the praetorians, by zhen-qual herself, and then just curiously by the general population. By the time all is said and done there are few secrets within their mind. The training methods, reasons and rituals, beliefs and history of this clan lay dissected before all. Blood is moisture and should not be wasted, the black glass blades are useful. The last attempt at building the channel was not perfect, but completed the final step of the project. It was coarse and a bit ugly, but would do. the scout manages to break the restraints and runs, runs as fast as it can for now the voice is quiet, but it comes up to a transparent wall and looks out into the abyss to see what may be a horrible truth. The tribe is reasonably alert for thickblood, a bit more so then normal. Zhen-qual's own experiments are met with failure.

Attempts to settle the oasis are at best trading outposts that are abandoned seasonaly, then revisited when permissible. Metals are not readily found, and indeed an avalanche claims the life of several prospectors. A very large freshwater aquifer is found that can easily support an expansion (your choice of location). The long road is paved and marked with stone pillars every few "koburrog miles" to keep you in the right direction. The scouts who visit the dry plains are eaten or chased away by sand devils. The lumber town is safer, and it is interesting to note, that around the plants, sometimes metallic rocks can be found.

Ilesha the Grasper, one of Icouri's chosen to lead the expedition, was the last one through the dense underbrush. Panting for breath as he reached the camp, he describes the beasts to the rest of the party. Vicious creatures with claws sharp enough to turn flesh into ribbons. The party would proceed no further, not until they could best these jungle denizens. They return home.

It turns out the issue with finding the sharp stones wasn't where to look, but how exactly to strike them against each other. The coast is full of the right stone, called "flint". It isn't long before flint heads are affixed in place of stone ones, making countless jobs much easier.

Icouri sits, frustrated. Modyn's system of hashes and angular gouges was much more complicated than she imagined. A different mark for each sound? Sounds with different marks, depending on what marks they were next to? Clearly the amount of work Modyn had been vastly underestimated. Regardless, several others now have become interested in learning this new means of communication.

The few Kwagos who returned with the burlongs and the location of the Ramel are welcomed by the tribe. The new sharp stones that they have developed are affixed to the end of short sticks, and even longer sticks, to replace the dull stone they had once used. Almost as soon as they return, another party leaves to hunt.

One evening when a lone Kwagos was cleaning out a fire pit, he noticed that, after dousing the embers and shoveling them away, there was a small, misshapen pool of shiny, hardenend liquid. Inspecting it, he realized it was harder than any stone he had seen, even the new flint stones. He showed some others, and as they searched their pits as well, more were found.

Along the windiest stretches of the road, walls are erected on either side, and a roof is built over. When dunes form during the storms, parts of the road become long tunnels under the sand.

Streams are found on the humid side of the mountain range. Runoff from mountain glaciers. The major towns and cities in the area are in need of more fresh water, but there needs to be a way to transport the water. Architects suggests building an artificial river for which to reroute the streams. The wells which have supplied the capitol's water are not enough to support the populous, and are often contaminated in the more downtrodden districts of the royal city.

I'll self-judge some of these.

Over many months, blocks of granite were carved from the mountains to exact specifications and hauled over hundreds of miles assembled to form channels through which the water would flow to quench the cities, held aloft the arched pillars.
The last of them, the one which would lead to the royal city had to go through the softer land, the clay soil which earned it the name of Clay Haven. Workers would have to dig deep to reach bedrock in order to complete this engineering feat. There however were the old problem of construction on soil. The increased activity would attract every landworm in several miles. The digging was halted by worker after worker being picked off by the worms.

The techniques are still crude, and it doesn't help with the floodings. Another worker drowned.

In return, they gathered plenty of frilla bark and quite a few bluva and dead false bluva.

Using acid to cut the flesh was a bad idea. Much of the meat was spoiled and the shell thinned if they were using acid. The leather that were salvaged, though, were treated in less acidic mucus, and prove to be good leather. The few plates that were salvaged were worked good, the craftsmen have definitely learned from their acidic mistake. The cooks, however, did not, and they spoiled some more food trying the same acid mucus approach.

This time the tribe was lucky and survived the monsoon without having too much trouble. However the shortage in food was concern for them and as soon as the rains eased the males started fishing again. risk of hunger was so high that even females left to find out if some of the plants could be used for food.

As always, old kwagos stayed behind with the children as they were too old to do any real work. With the help of children they used this time to reair the minor damage the monsoon had caused.

The Zu-Nul readily incorporates the technologies of the heretics, but some still eye them with suspicion. Black Glass is readily found near volcanic rocks; the western mountains have plenty of it. The still-living heretics refuse to give the secrets to pottery, but maybe Wormborn mindsearch can help here. A dozen of the juvenile worms were hunted down, the rest scattering to the wide desert. A very simple floodgate was made, it was a rock that limits the flow of water.
Meanwhile, the scout tried her best to resist, but the whole place itself seemed to make her at ease. The exiles then talked with the scout, the words from her half-awake. She snapped out of it, though, and escaped a chamber, only to find herself staring down in a low air and high altitude. The exiles promptly grabbed her back, saying 'it is not safe to return now.'
Zhen-Qual's experiment is a success (I'll let you fluff it), but the drake worm is a rebellious one and denied the wormseers' message.

Fast forward, months past and the issues of food conservation start to be felt. The stewards saved the most possible in form of meat pudding. This poor meal was not a really good mind fuel at all. The balance between the groups started to tremble again.
The hunters being the ones who kept the tribe alive used to keep for themselves the most interesting parts. Eventually, the ruler ended this partially to give better chances to the inventors.
Nevertheless, the tribe was wanting more territories. They sent scouts further to the centre of the jungle to find more of these trees to build huts.

Females had no luck in finding edible plants. in fact some of them tasted plants that were poisonous and after hours of horrible pain they died as the poison finally made its work.

Males on the other hand knew what they were doing and even without the plants they could feed the tribe with fish.

The death of females was a shock for Rismal and many were sure this was caused by the earth spirits who were jealous because of the runestone they made for the spirits of the water. Certainly the only way to please the earth was to build a runestone for the spirits of the earth. Nearby hill would be more than suitable location for the stone.

Some of the young males got sick of eating only dried fish and so they left to the wilds to hunt some animals. armed with stone tools and clubs they left to see if there are any animals suitable for hunting (=not too dangerous to hunt).

The idea of basic oven to one of the females when she burned herself with stone that was near the fire. If fish gets dried on the warm stones that are in the sun. then why can't we use fire to warm stones and then use them to cook the fish.

Another thing that happened was that due to heavy raining the earth was muddy and wet. Some of the mud got on the baskets and when the raining ended the mud dried and hardened. Elders soon had the idea of using the mud to make the baskets better and then use the fire to make them dry faster.

Lastly the building of storehouse started again. this time they would build it farther from the water so that the flooding wouldn't destoy it.

The zu-nul warriors begin their work to device new weapons from the black glass, mostly sharp daggers and throwing blades. These weapons should be a welcome addition to their arsenal, which mostly consists of bone spears and weapons made from claws and blades of other creatures.

The questioning of the heretics continues, the secrets of pottery are well hidden in their minds, so well even, that the Zu-nul themselves could use the techniques the heretics are using to resist the mindsearching attempts. The heretics are also given incentives to reveal their secrets- Most importantly, their past crimes of heresy will be forgiven, and they will be allowed to serve Zhen-qual like other Zu-nul members.

The captured juvenile worms are brought to the vicinity of the crag, but kept away from them eyes of the majority of the tribe. The worms are kept in paralysis by the praetorians, who also have ordered the workers to construct a domed enclosure from the cement, where the worms could be kept. The workers are of course, in the dark about the purpose of the structure they are making, their only directive being the order to build a burrow with thick and hard enough walls that would keep anything but an adult worm from breaking it.

With the primitive flood gate in place, the workers can now activate their channel. They remove the stone, and dig open the last few meters of soil that kept the water from being drained by the channel. Now, they could start transporting water from the oasis to their home crag.

The scout, unable to flee, and due to the influence of her prison, tries her best at learning from her captors at least. Zhen-qual values knowledge, and in case she ever gets freed, she at least has something to return to the Godworm.

For now however, her spawn need to be able to grow safely.
To ensure this, Zhen-qual orders her suzumou followers to provide protection to the worms while they develop out in the desert, even after they have grown large enough to be released from the crag

Here is a picture that showcases the sexual dimorphism of the suzumou species.

The suzumou species has very little differences between genders, the most notable difference that they have is the size of the abdomens. Females have thick, bulbous abdomen, in where their eggs develop (it should be noted that the size of the female abdomen changes depending on if she is developing eggs or not), whereas in the males, the abdomen houses jut their poison glands, stinger and various internal organs. In suzumou societies, the males often work as scouts and vanguards of the tribe, moving far ahead of the main tribe, seeking out sources of food and potential sandworms, in where the tribe can breed. The females form the core of the tribe, moving as one unified, group, following the directions of the scouts. These societal roles are the ones the suzumou developed during their evolution, though they can vary greatly between the modern tribes.

The larger wing muscles and increased armor plating are both due to the ancestral habit of males being scouts. The large wing muscles allow the males to carry heavier loads back to the tribe, while the more prominent armor makes them more likely to survive combat outside of the protection of their tribe.

The poison of the females and males is also slightly different. The male venom evolved more for hunting, and quickly paralyzing their prey, the acidic qualities of the venom are pretty insignificant. The females, on the other hand, have far more caustic venom, that can melt trough even the thick shell of the sandworms.

Ramel prove to be a challenging hunt. No Kwagos were injured, but no Ramel were had either. The hunters try again in several days, their appetites growing along with their determination. More interested in hunting game now, some have begun practicing their throwing skills. If they could incapacitate an animal from a greater distance, hunting would be much simpler. Some, noticing how certain branches spring back to their original shape with considerable force, have started making miniature spear-like objects and using string to launch them through the air.

Icouri, finally able to grasp Modyn's alphabet (along with several others), is surprised at how enjoyable simply writing and illustrating the simple goings-on of the tribe is, and even how important it can be in settling disputes. In a fierce disagreement between two tribesmen, Icouri was able to find where she happened to write down what was originally promised by one of the parties. When the truth came out, the dispute ended rather quickly and peacefully. Icouri decides that records should be kept of all the major happenings in the tribe, and assigns this task to Modyn.

The tribe is still perplexed, however, about the origin of these silver masses. A collection has been started, and one or two tribesmen have even found some reddish-orange colored ones with a rough green layer on them. Many are unconcerned, but several are enjoying this mystery, and so they keep trying to find a pattern.

The Kwagos in charge of the shrubs and bushes are having no luck sticking their fruits in the ground. One tribeswoman, however, when observing sprouts from a refuse pile, notices that they seem to come from the hard, black things that are in the center of many fruits.

Traveling to mountains they would collect the glass in baskets and make the long trek home, laden with material to ensure the future of their tribe. The heretic's have two useful skills, pottery and a strange mental resistance that intrigues their interrogators. Pain clearly has no bearing on them, considering the ritualized scarring and eye removal they inflicted on themselves. For now these two things are a mystery, but time is in abundance, they will break. The new worm encampment is of excellent quality, and even a full sized adult may have issues breaking down it's walls. Water trickles in slowly, but there are issues with sand blockage. The scout's mind is overwhelmed with information from thickblood itself. "If knowledge is your desire...then KNOW!" It is too much, and the scout is forced to question the very truth's it currently holds as now everything is in doubt and it find's itself committing an unforgivable heresy of questioning the god worm's motives and reasons, even its very own existence. The Zu-nul are not able to perfectly protect the somewhat dimwitted spawn, and in the end about three are left, but they were the smartest and best of the batch.

The black glass weaponry is a welcome addition for the hunters and the warriors, and the demand for it is quite high. Because of this, the Zu-nul decide to set up new burrows in the vicinity of the great obsidian fields, so that they could harvest the glass more easily. The warriors themselves are eager to test out their new weapons, and thus, a party of them heads out to northern territories of the Zu-nul domain, in hopes of encountering either heretics or some other foes who to fight against.

The Wormseers join in to the interrogation of the surviving resistant heretics (The larval ones and children of the heretical tribe have already been culturally absorbed to the Zu-nul, and treated like all other members of the tribe), as Zhen-qual has herself found interest in the unusual mental resistance of these heretical warriors. The wormseers use all their skills in persuasion to make the heretics crack and give in, so that the Zu-nul can claim their secrets.

The juvenile worms are placed in the encampment, after the workers who built it had been sent away, and the most curious ones dealt with. Then the praetorians begin the next part of Zhen-qual's experiment. They will try to breed, using these young worms as hosts.

These are all lies!!..she recoils from the mental shock, and once again, tries to flee.

Continued observation will be needed to find out more about the nature of her essence as it unfolds in these spawns.
The assassins are sent out after the Drake, despite their flaws. If they fail, she can always make new ones, and if they succeed, she can use them as the basis of the next generation of these assassins. The goal of these wormborns is simple.

High Patriarch Zokulza has only recently inherited leadership of the Yakushin, the people of the Yakush Clan, and he is eager to build upon his clans achievments. They already control all trade between the loyalists remnants in Old Nutera, known as the Teloki, and the Exiles, known as the Rimturo. While they Nuterans have been aware of a nation by the name Huran or some-such name, they do not yet have relations with it, and what little is known of it indicates that they should have at least some knowledge of trade, which is enough for the ambitious and eager Patriarch. Envoys are sent sailing in the general direction of the Hu-Raan, to the north. Additionaly, the people of the of the Twisted Isle (that's the Nuteran name for the island the Stusval are on) are telling wild stories of strange creatures on their isle, and that they seem to be... intelligent. Likely nothing more than wild exagerations of a tribe of gorriogs that have lived on the Twisted isle for millenia and become estranged to the Nuterans. However, the Yakushin can't have their fellow exiles wiping out a potential source of customers.

The Lesser Patriarch seeks to increase his standing in the clan, but first he must show he is a person of importance, and to do that he must be among the handful of Yakushin off the home island of Okel to own land and a mansion, showing not just his wealth is great enough to fund such a development, but that he is capable of managing his commercial interests while being a millitary commander in all but name. Jever is considering using slaves to make his dream a reality, but only if he cannot do it without them. The Yakushin may be masters of commerce and trade, but even they hold disdain for slavery, for the most part. Only the Teloki hold slaves amongst the Nuterans, and dealing with them in slavery is a practice that can kill a patriarchs rise as surely as a mansion may ensure it.

The workers are throwing a large vol'keic seed back and forth over one of the completed walls, while the rest are only half complete. The workers seem to be having fun with the simple activity. She asks one what this game is. They call it Ten'zis, where the ball is thrown faster and faster between the two teams until one side drops it. Whichever team lasts longest after 10 rounds is the winner. This intrigues the queen mightily, and a plan is hatched in her mind.

She makes an announcement. A Ten'zis tournament will be had once the Orchard is completed. The winning team will get extra rations from the food supply for a week. Perhaps this will motivate the workers.

She also sends the young with the Seekers north, to learn about the jungle. She promises to wait for them to return to hold the tournament.

The Queen is ecstatic with the developments in Bruu making. The innovators and select lesser males from their clans are taken and formed into three new Clans of Bruu Masters with nothing to do all day but make Bruu and innovate new varieties by varying recipes and environments for the cultivations of Bruu. One of these new clans uses the recently gathered Bluva and False Bluva exclusively in their Bruu mash and tempers it with a variety of mold from the dry well lit openings of the Hive. This produces a Sweet opaque blue wine they call Bruulva.
Further disaster shakes Queen Dvara’s faith in her Digger Clans. It is the above ground Gatherers that bring progress into tunnel construction. It’s their idea to lash the bark together into support arches that reinforce the walls of the tunnels and chambers. However this does nothing to halt flooding. It is Queen Dvara herself that instructs her Diggers to search for bedrock so they may hold back the waters with rock walls. With Frilla and Stone she will keep Dvarno’s greed in check. The living are for the living Queen.
Meanwhile at the flooded tunnel the Successful gatherer shows off his Skrimp catch to a weaver. The Dvarg demonstrates his technique by dangling the lure in the water then quickly scooping the skrimp up, out of the water and onto dry land with the spoon. The Mutated dvarg then tosses the Skrimp into a basket, personally done with embarrassing herself in the water. Intrigued by the design the weaver creates a similar object, weaving a large basket with a dangling lure. Using the same principals the skrimp can be caught in larger numbers and perhaps with a bit less splashing.

The breakthrough in metallurgy was monumental for the tribe. Who would've thought that burning rocks would be more than a waste of time? Not long after, metal's unique properties are exploited - instead of crumbling or breaking when struck, metal bends and changes shape, especially when hot. The Ighqatar begin to make extensive use out of this material.

A group of Ighqatar who have taken upon themselves the smelting of these rocks has developed a curiousity for the craft. What other metals lie in wait, yet undiscovered? They talk children into bringing them all the different unique-looking rocks they can find in the area, in hopes of finding something useful.

Several remain determined to perfect their stick-and-string spear-throwing device. They have found a type of wood that is proving to be ideal for the weapon, yet are still lacking in their design.

The potential for metals seems limitless. Surely it be used for chopping down trees and beating things with a blunt edge over and over again. The Ighqatar begin devising a wider variety of tools and applications, including for use in the farms, for building, and for cutting and butchering meat. It's not long before the Ighqatar realize that metal might be useful for cutting and butchering their enemies, as well.

The agricultural community has grown quite large. The idea of spreading seeds seems so obvious now, and experienced farmers can identify fertile soil right away. They apply their new techniques to all sorts of local vegetation, from food to flowers.

Here is the colored version.

The assassin wormborns resemble suzumou nymphs, more than adult suzumou. This is due to the accelerated growth the godworm causes in the larval suzumou. The unnecessary parts of the suzumou are left undeveloped, such as the more "adult" facial features. This is also why their arms and legs are so out of proportion to the rest of their body. To normal suzumou, these assassins look abhorrent mutants, with creepy child like features mixed with adult proportions. They also lack much of the intelligence of the adults, being very bestial and aggressive creatures.
They move in all fours, skittering around with remarkable speed. Their bodies are lightly armored, and very light, allowing them to fly long distances very easily. Their main weapon is their extremely strong poison, which is also highly acidic.

They hunt down their target by following the vibrations the worm causes as it moves trough the sand. The assassins fly from dune to dune, landing for brief moments to skitter on the sand, placing their arms on the surface of the dunes in their attempt to "listen" to the vibrations of their target.

Males erected pile of stones on top of the hill but the loss of females still grieved some of them and it was no wonder that they didn't have enough eagerness to haul large stone up there and carve it. Still they used the stones as altar and left some fish and tools there as offering for the spirits.

The primitive oven was a success and the usefulness of it was clear. It didn't take long for attempts to improve it more. Separate building for cooking was also built to keep this experimental tech far from the houses where people lived.

The making of wrestling ring started all over again despite the failure with the first one. It would be enclosed ring of small stones that shows the border of the ring.

One of the fishing males saw a large fish farther in the lake. That are was too deep for traditional fishing so the male started to think how they could get there without drowning and again how he could get the fish itself. During the flooding of the first storehouse he had seen how some parts of the building had floated and so he got the idea.

It seems that hunting isn't suited for the Rismal and so one of them said "if we can't win them, join them". Perhaps there would be some animals that could be taken alive and grow more of them. this way they wouldn't need to hunt them.

Workers build burrows near the obsidian rich mountains, and soon workers can be observed coming and going with baskets full of glass. The warriors find of all things a small tribe of suzumo that are nomads. they are set upon quickly and massacred, what is noticed is the same ritualized scarification and removal of wings as the previous heretics. The heretics will not join, but their mental block is one born from the education of pain, their secrets are unwraveled bit by bit and pottery is discovered. The mental/ psychological dissection has left the remaining prisoners braindead, they died hours later. The juvenile worms make fine hosts, if kept in a constant state of paralysis, the process will kill them eventually. The sand comes loose, then thick liquid like quick sand comes pouring out flooding the adjoining chambers, workers die and the attempt to tap the oasis is back to square one with not even a room to work with. The scout manages to probe the mind of a nearby suzumo, only to find that to escape from this high up is to die. The shock is much for her, as now the information she was assaulted with is verified by her own probing of memories. For now she ran, trying to make sense of this all. One of the spawn eats the other two, their deaths facilitating it's own very rapid growth, there is something about cannibalizing their own kind that makes worms grow faster. perhaps the old "you are what you eat" plays true here. There will be a wealth of knowledge from this child.

Quicksand kills those who were looking for clay. A rapid string of tools who's sole purpose is to make finer tools results in the development of fine metal tools with features such as ratcheting, hinges, and simple hand drills. Metal weapons are not as nice as the tools, but work. An attempt to keep the plants warm at night ends up causing a fire that rips through the village killing a few members, and leaving many homeless. It is a time of great hope, and despair. Perhaps they can rebuild their lives with this new knowledge.

Obsidian glass is good. With it, the tribe now can field improved weapons and sharp cutting tools. With them, they can better hunt and manipulate tissues and plant matter.

The warriors try to capture any surviving heretics, mostly non combatants so that they can be brought to the service of Zhen-qual. They also loot everything they can from these nomads.

With pottery, the tribe can store food and other items better. These pots are stored in the deep,dry and colder tunnels, where they will not rot as easily.

Zhen-qual ponders, if the mental resistance can be achieved, without needles body mutilation. She decides to experiment on this, by causing strong sensations of pain in some of the gestating wormborn larvae, as they develop.

The success with the juvenile worms is great news. Zhen-qual begins the slow process of introducing this "new" method of reproduction to her worshipers, with the aid of her wormseer agents. The praetorians are also sent to hunt for more juvenile worms, while builders are ordered to construct more enclosures, still in the dark of their purpose.

What if, the channel wasn't dug under the sand, but instead built above it, a hard, tube of cement, that would then be buried in the sand to conceal it?

The scout stuck with the exiles, tries to calm herself down and adjust. She might yet escape, but for now, she was forced to stay with these exiles. She tries to make herself useful for Zhen-qual, by learning as much as she can from these hated enemies.

Zhen-qual is intrigued by the development of the spawn. She continues to keenly observe it's growth.

'Diarrhea' - The phenomenon is way different from what we could imagine. When the liver-like organ swells and aches from what shouldn't have been through it, the amount of acid produced in the stomach grows dangerously. The pressure due to carbonic gas accumulating hurts the tentouz. A part of it is directed to the pouches and, mixed to the methane, weights the creature, slows the conversion, and put the mind in dormance. The ill creature swells, laying on the ground. Happily, the tentouz organism is really robust and quick to restablish, so they rarely die from this, despite how spectacular it may look.

No heretics remain to capture. Many "pack jars" are found, large strange jars with koburrog hair rope to strap them to one's back. Removal of wing is necessary to properly put these on without a great deal of help from another suzumo. Inside the jars are sundries, and to their suprise, larvae, both of suzumo and sandworm. The experiment is a success, but causes something the godworm is unaware of. This batch of test larve are resistant to even her own indoctrinations, the agony drives one to insanity, and past that, to a new level of clarity. A functional madness. Time will tell how these young turn out. The zul-nul are curious as to why zhen-qual would want to sacrifice worms who cannot surive birthing the suzumo, but her wisdom is infinite and perhaps these worms are not good worms. Only about 3 juvenile worms are found. Further attempts to repair the channel result in a violent collapse of a large portion of the underground colony, destroying food reserves, water, and developing young. This disaster has put a stop to the cement tube project for now while the colony attempts to rescue survivors, resources, etc. The exiles are more then happy to share their knowledge of the world with the scout, and even what bits of history of the world the thickblood has told them ((little lore update, thickblood is an adopted name of all thickbloods, who themselves have no real name. was tired of them not having a name. plus perhaps the suzumo can give it one.))

In Hs'Lay (Old Farm), a farming community to the northeast of To'Kwar, a hut is found to contain a great many tablets depicting the brightest stars in the night sky, and the movements of the moons across the night sky. These are brought back to To'Kwar for study.

Old record tablets tell of the attempt of making a light surface for on which to right, but it'd fall apart with the lightest touch. It apparently was made from Hrass. Maybe the one going over these old records can find someone who can succeed where others have long ago failed.

In the east, Nuros and Hemfurs are delicacies. Capturing them is difficult. Spearing them is hard, and they are too slippery to catch by hand.

In the north, odd creatures come to feed on the scraps left from butchers and meals. The occasional taming was not unheard of by hunters, which would train them to take down game.

Some Hu-raan has taken up a new hobby of stargazing, and each family has their own small 'star diary' of sorts. It seems the fad has spread from the discovery of the 'star tablets'. Some of these stargazers have noted that the moon goes into phases, and some have counted how many days are in the cycle. Remaking paper is quite the challenge, so far the ones created are too brittle. Maybe Hrass alone isn't enough. Some fishermen have made cloth that is coarse to catch fish; the beginning of a net is made. Firdogs run from the would-be tamers for now, but still come back for the butchers' leftovers.

Lack of word from the envoys unsettles the High Patriarch.

Enthused by the success of the survivor, the Rii'Dan continue their efforts towards death from above. They continue to launch more of their allies with the advise of "Roll".

They hold onto the bitterness of their lives and return to steal those who wander too close to their graves.

The researchers start to think that the armor had definitely protected the launched Rii'dan. Meanwhile, some craftsmen advised by shamans created Furlong hide masks, which they believe would help to scare the pale ghosts away. Some found it is also good for filtering the spores out. On the other hand, some more practical-minded Rii'dan had erected some big nets in the canopy, which could prevent the pale ghosts out. The hunters came back with plenty of Running Lasmars and Furlongs, so much that they could make entire clothes for everyone out of Furlong hide. The temple construction is also coming along great, the architects are clearly knowing how to make better buildings after this.

The warriors bring back the loot they acquired from the heretics. The larval suzumou will be absorbed to the tribe, and raised like any other children.
The larval sandworms however, are placed in the new worm enclosures, where they are fed so they may grow larger.

Unaware of the mental resistance she has given to the new batch of wormborns, Zhen-qual continues to develop them as normal. They main mission of these new wormborns is to start hunting down any remaining heretics lingering in the Zu-nul territory.

The Zu-nul will fully accept the usage of juvenile worms in time, it should only take few generations at max. The wormseers encourage the normal suzumou to breed using the young worms.

The disaster is horrible, though the previous work done to enhance the structural integrity of the tunnels should mean that most of them are just flooded with sand, and not actually collapsed.
Workers are doing their best to rescue survivors, salvage resources and repair the damage.
This disaster has sparked a new idea in them however. What if, instead of constructing tunnels, that are vulnerable to this kind of disasters, they started building larger structures above the ground. The small huts are a start, but they could become something much more.

The tribe is frightened, as the members who went in search for a material that could glue stones together have vanished. Was it wild animals? Evil spirits? An unseen enemy that has been watching them this whole time? Eventually these rumors subside, and more venture out in search, this time bringing partners with them.

The trick with the miniature spears - "arrows," they have been called - was not to use wood, but a lighter, straighter material. With the copper heads, these arrows prove both accurate and viciously penetrating. The young males arm themselves and begin to play wargames with each other for fun, but the old expedition party convenes again and decides these are the tools with which they will enter the jungle. They begin preparations.

The recent disasters to befall the tribesmen have many in sorrow, and, sadly, in search of a new location. Some believe their tribe is cursed, and venture out to the south to distance themselves from the coast. They promise to keep in touch, however.

Those who remain begin rebuilding. The fire was both a blessing and a curse, as many of the homes that burned were those made of the old driftwood methods. The woodworkers begin assisting those less skilled in constructing homes. In fact, some begin to demand a trade in return for the help - a practice which some find appalling, but others find reasonable. Icouri is divided - should she ban this sort of trading or allow it to happen? She consults with her advisors.

the larval sandworms grow quickly, basically being fed as quickly as they can eat day and night. The wormseers message is taken with a grain of confusion by the general population, as to why there is change after so long. It is explained that some gods are more worthy then others, and Zhen-qual is god of gods, so what she says is most correct. sounds good to the masses. back to work. ((dear fuck man, i am sorry. the dice do not like your settlement)) The flood of quicksand crushed and killed many, destroying or spoiling resources, there were no survivors, and no salvage. The tribe is now short on resources, and a next generation of young. In the days after the disaster extensive work is done to repair the damage, and build new structures above ground. One tunnel will not be recoverable, but has become a permanent underground reservoir full of gillworms who slowly munch away on the remains of the dead.

This grove is composed of a methane chimney surrounded by common yashed trees. The ground is a a watery mire and a waste for everything that lives underneath. This would be a good spot as a colony of animals seems to live underneath.
They wrap ropes around the chimney and tend them between the trees to suspend bags of mudgrub leather in which they can stock many things. The whole is protected by a big cloth of leather fixed to the rope.

Even Zhen-qual now takes notice to the disaster that has occurred to the Zu-nul. She realizes that she can use the opportunity to fully incorporate the usage of juvenile worms in breeding, using the plight of the Zu-nul to her advantage.
She instructs the wormseers to encourage the tribe to hunt down juvenile worms for breeding, so that they can replace their lost numbers quicker, than by just breeding in her divine flesh.

Desperate times require desperate methods.To replace lost resources, preatorians gather most capable warriors, to head out for hunts and raids across the desert. They slay animals to restore food storages, and target traders, nomadic tribes and other objects of interest, leaving none alive and looting everything.
Some workers are trying to invent better ways how to drain blood from their kills, so that they could better restore their supplies of liquid. Their main idea focuses around many, hollow spikes, piercing their kill, and draining the blood into a separate tank. The current idea resembles some sort of altar filled with spikes, to which the victim will be tied to.

The workers continue to restore the damaged parts of their tunnel networks as well as they can. The sand is being cleared from the flooded tunnels, minor collapses are being repaired and anything useful is being salvaged.
A new doctrine for building is being developed by the workers, that would keep these kinds of disasters from occurring again. Instead of building wast and complex network of tunnels, the workers will start constructing structures above the ground, which will work as hubs for the more centralized tunnel network. These, spire like cement structures will work as storages and homes for the suzumou, while the tunnels will work as path ways and water storages.

The Drake gets the idea of trying to train the younger spawn, teaching her his knowledge, and thus, maybe earning approval from his mother.

Cooking house became more than just large kitchen. At beginning it became center of food related trade but soon kwagos living a bit farther started to come to the village to trage their crafts and food. So in the end the building became center of trade and food in the area.

With all this trade and food the city grew like never before. As the population grew, some part of the population decided to find their fortune in the west. Group of families packed up and started their trip in hope to find new place to live in.

Hunters managed to capture many live animals but the Torrogs were most promising ones to be domesticated. Taming started as soon as possible and perhaps in time they will have success.

When the population grew so did the amount of diseases. Kwagos of rismal already skew that some plants were useful in staying healthy but they didn't know enough. One of the elders started to experiment with plants to see if they worked and overall used her time to heal the sick and wounded.

Scouts are leaving again but this time their mission isn't just to look for food or something like that- this time their mission is to find out if there is other small tribes nearby.

The Ighqatar, in a collective rolling of the eyes at their foolishness, begin excavating. Building debris is hauled out and much of it is tossed into the sea nearby as the tribe begins digging.

Some of the charred wood, thanks to the laziness of some tribesmen and women, ends up in refuse bins along with various other debris, including animal fats and tallows. One day while wheeling a small cart around a corner, a careless tribeswoman knocked over one of these refuse barrels and the mixture ended up spilling onto some nearby young Kwagos. After the initial fury from their parents at the careless cartwoman, they bring their child down to the coast to clean him off. During the process, they notice that this child comes out of the ocean not only covered in a foam very much unlike sea foam, but also remarkably clean. The child's mother wonders if there wasn't something special in that refuse barrel, and over the next few weeks tries to duplicate the substance.

The young Kwagos who have taken up arms have seen several weeks of training at this point, and a few of them are even good at it. Ilesha the Foolhardy is training the volunteers. He earned his new title after throwing himself into a burning building to save what he thought was two children - It turns out it was just several squaling burlong who have made themselves home in the tribe since they were introduced. Ilesha decides to test the Kwagos' mettle by bringing them on their first hunt. This will give them a chance to try out their new technology on some live targets.

There is strong resistance to using the juvenile worms, but the constant approach of the subject and now this desperate time allows it to happen, perhaps with a heavy heart (x3 rolls). Only a few small worms are found. The Zu-nul's reach exceeded their grasp, but by the next generation if they keep up the breeding, the population will return to normal levels. The warrior teams have found numerous weak travelers to take what they need from, the travelers are brought back to the tribe unconscious and alive when permissible for blood harvest and feeding to zhen-qual. The Blood altar is a horrifyingly effective contraption that leaves a dessicated corpse behind, similar to jerky. The tunnel network continues to suffer disaster in the form of small cave ins, but by sheer tenacity the workers begin to repair the most important routes within it. The new building concept is a culmination of many attempts and hard gained experience (x3 rolls). The young spawn is more then eager to learn. It's mind is simple, more obedient, more patient and calm. The two working together benefit massively, getting properly socialized. Perhaps by fluke of being hybrids, the usual hostilities over territory is not present and these two have formed a "kin unit" and exercise a high degree of cooperation.

The Patriarch leading the expedition to the Hu-raan smiles broadly. He produces a few gifts that his company had been carrying, one of them a fine bronze tipped spear, which he offesr to the leader of the Cohort. Firstly, he explains how the first envoys did not make contact with the Hu-Raan, and that this second party was sent to check up on them, and if neccesary take over. Just days before the patrol found the envoys, the group had found out what had happened to their predcessors: they were slain by bandits. Next He tells the captain (or whatever the leaders rank is) how impressed he is with the martial skill of the Hu-raan. Such a formidable force must require a great deal of effort, and materials, to maintain. Perhaps there are some things that the Yakushin and the Hu-raan could trade to strengthen each other.

There are few things that the Yakushin want, but all of them are important. They want security when trading, and they want assurances that the Hu-Raan will protect them from bandits while trading in their lands. They must be granted access to ports, and be given permission to buy property. If these things are given, the Patriarch assures the captain that an entire fleet of traders is ready to bring wealth and prosperity to the ports of the kingdom.

Jever is quite happy to have his mercenaries. His cousins have awnsered the call, and they have brought a well sized host to aid him. Now, Jever sets the mercenaries to train the host, which is composed mainly of peasant members of the Yakush Clan, and some poor-off traders.

The Merchants all clamor for the new boat, which is superior to anything yet built. However, it will require a great deal of gorriogs to man, and the Yakushin are not numerous enough to have two dozen gorriogs on every ship just to propel them. Either a new source of labor or superior sails must be used to make the new ship fit to be the main vessel of the Clan.

Anticipating the deal with the Hu-raan, some lesser patriarchs band together to set up a stop-over port on the Fringe (the area in the map I'm posting), since the voyage to the Hu-raan is long if you try to sail straight across the North Sea (the sea that lies north of Nutera and Okel, and south of the Hu-Raan). They intend to make a good profit off of weary sailors and empty stores of food and water. In time, it might grow to be important enough to be an important port. For now, it'll be little more than a village with docks. If they succeed at founding it at all.

The hunting party returns one short. The tribe holds a time of mourning for the young lost Kwagos, and many of the others have their first taste of the harsh realities of hunting and combat. It is a lesson they will armor themselves with. However, their thirst for the excitement of the hunt has them back out in the field not a week later. They suspect they may be able to herd one or two Ramel into sturdy snares, then approach and kill them with spears or arrows through their softer underbellies and eyes.

At the furthest edge of the explored jungle is to be, with an underground tunnel, lined with resin, connecting the outpost and the village. Though this project will be long an arduous she says that there is more. A resin forge is to be erected, a place used to construct more complex and intricate resin work.

To do this the queen sends of the Seekers and the young to bring back as much of the resin making plant, known as Cawdzu, as possible.

First off is the initial bore shaft driven down right at the heart of the village, with a thin canopy to keep out the frequent rains, walls of resin walls to keep out the ever present water, and a spiral staircase for easy travel. Although it is not very deep it will do as an underground road.

The few workers that aren't working on that are constructing the resin forge. A low building with chutes in the roof for dumping off plant matter right onto collection areas. From these collection areas the vegetation is either moved to the Spit line, where mass produced things are made, or to the Drool, where more intricate single items are made.

From the way they describe it, there is a Gorriog. She tried to remember more from the distance teachings of the Old Hive, but all she can remember is of their strength and stubbornness. She directs the Seekers to run out an gather the workers to the Queens Chambers.

While they are gathering the queen is left to her thoughts. She had just wanted peace, and quiet, not this sudden noise. Even now she could hear the faint foot falls of the Gorriog, so different from the scuttling of the workers. What if they are here for war? For slaves? Do they have right to this island? If only I had more time to prepare. What to do?

She hears it walking through the front gate, and start walking towards the queens chambers. She quickly tells the young to get in the nursery and be quiet. She then tells the workers to cover it with some leafy branches scattered about the chamber. She tells the Seekers to watch this Gorriog carefully and be ready to attack if necessary. To this the Seekers seemed dismayed, they had never seen a creature this big, let alone fight one.

As the Gorriog lowers its head and stamps into the hall, the queen finds that she is incredibly nervous. The Gorriog stands taller than the lanky Seekers, and is much more bulky. It does not move its head much, but she sees that it has many eyes. Its breathing is different, like a long wheeze instead of the short snuffles of the workers. It does not smell in the same way either, just base scents of sweat and musk.

And then it begins to speak...

During the next few years, most of Zu-nul activity outside of their home crag is reduced to the occasional hunting and raiding parties, who seek resources to resupply their settlement, and juvenile worms which they can capture.

The Zu-nul have withdrawn to the crag, to restore their former strength, the practice of breeding trough juvenile worms is conducted, and slowly, Zhen-qual is shifting this method to be the primary one. The larvae that gestate in her flesh are almost all turned to her agents, while the "normal" suzumou are only born from the juvenile worms.

During this time, the damaged tunnels are restored and the new building doctrine has been put to an effect. Instead of sand with occasional burrow holes, the Zu-nul capital now reaches towards the sky. A grove of sand spires and huts surround Zhen-qual, each of these structures buzzing with suzumou. These structures all have their roots under the sand, each connected to the tunnel network that spans under the sand of the crag.

With the repair project finally completed, some of the workers attempt to revisit the cement tube idea, that aims to drain water from the oasis.

All this time, the Drake has continued to protect the younger spawn, and teach her all that he knows. It will be seen if Zhen-qual is pleased with the progress.

The scout that was taken by Thickblood still lives with the exiles, she has tried her best to stay loyal to her purpose, as well as learn from the traitors she has been forced to live. How long she will be forced to stay with them, will be seen.

Rolling for:
The successes of the hunters during these years.
How well the Zu-nul population is restored/grown.
How well the new building doctrine has worked.
Revisiting the oasis project.
How well the Drake has raised the younger spawn.
How well the scout has fared with the exiles.

(This update was mostly done so that I could finally get on with actual progress, instead of bogged down by the restoration attempts.)
