The Meeodan forest tribe is a hermetic tribe of forest hunters living in the Meeodan Rainforest. Known simply as "Hometribe" to its residents, the tribe has little contact with the outside world except for the ambassadors sent every 20 years on a Wayquest; a holy journey under their god Jitmus. Due to this isolation, they are largely unaffected by the plague and their religion predates modern Demiurgism. Wayquesters have no objective except to observe the world and teach the tribe upon their return.
Religion[]
Though the tribe worships a single god called Jitmus, this god is understood to have 3 aspects of his being: Ecara, the aspect of flora and beauty; Zar, the aspect of fauna and intensity; and Atie, the aspect of the Wayquest.
The tribe practices divine magic, typically invoking the entirety of Jitmus but sometimes emphasizing particular aspects. Notably, Wayquesters are given blessed artifacts such as Isaleth the Wayquester's Ecariets which are intended to aid and guide their journey.
Tribesmembers, while respectful of nature, believe that the cycle of life and death and normal and thus no single living being is considered sacred. The Wayquest is seen as the civilization's only way to transcend this cycle of mere birthing and dying.
Culture[]
The tribe houses roughly 80 members. Though not involved in any human conflicts, the tribesmembers must regularly face the big game that exists in the forest. Because of this, a large degree of padding (often achieved via wooden plate armor) is favored in order to avoid the venomous attacks of many quick foes. Aside from armor, the tribespeople are generally clothed sparsely in leather and dried vines. They are very skilled with longspears and longbows. Hunting in the forest is considered a basic survival skill rather than a rite of passage; everyone is expected to do what they can. Children are raised communally and the relationship between parent and child is not particularly important.
