Eaqe Vukrr

Old Government Structure
Autocratic Chiefdom "Ran by a High-Chief or "Great-Tree" traditionally. The word of Chieftain is law. If he banishes you, you are banished. If he orders a flaying, you get flayed. If he tells you to hang from a branch one-handed above a pit of quicksand while eating a burrito with the other, you...

...get the point. The chieftain is decided by one of these methods;(Yet to be implemented In-Game, mainly just lore-concepts right now.)
 * By blood: One sees themselves more fitting to be Chief, and challenges the Great Tree. Should the Great Tree fall, the newcomer takes his place, given certain criteria are filled.
 * By bloom: The Great-Tree wilts and dies, and thus the branch is passed to the Chief's closest blood-relative.
 * By blight: The Tree proves himself "not Great", and Wildaven Herself decides a new Chief." -XhoboButterking7

Government Structure Under Chieftain Tynan
Under the wise guidance of Chieftain Tynan the EaqeVukrr grew to all new prosperity. This began with the wise Chieftain's policy on opening the DeseVukrrian borders. Post-Deiotakas, Chieftain Tynan led the tribesmen and tribeswomen to a new EaqeVukrr, being quick to recover from the blows of destruction and setting up the new homeland in the Jungles to the East of Evorga, the capital of Wildaven faith of the time.

Chieftain Tynan set up a Government Hierarchy that goes in this order: - Chieftain - Tynan - Chieftain's Advisor - Lynru Ocfar - Jungle Guardians - DeseVukrrian Hunters - Tribesmen/women

Culture
The DeseVukrr is the Ancestor of the EaqeVukrr. The DeseVukrr (Meaning "Jungle's Depths") was a hidden clan of "Jungle Natives" dwelling in the deepest jungles of Templehelm until their destruction, approximately 20-30 years ago.The EaqeVukrr derives all customs and culture from the DeseVukrr.

The DeseVukrrian tribesmen and tribeswomen are honourary people, dubbing themselves the Children of the Jungle. This ideology began to spread with the knowledge of the DeseVukrrian seeming obsession with hunting, being the overwatching spirits of the forests, and their ever watchful reputation they grew in the politics of Templehelm, known for making a presence when they saw it necessary to change the tide of history.

The culture/way of life that all members are to adhere to are linked to creatures that lived in the Deep Jungles. "The obedience of Wulf. Keeness of Eagle. And daring of the Jaguar."

"Tribesmen/women of the DeseVukrr must be loyal toward their chieftain and Wildaven, or "Wild Hunter" above all else. They will only do whatever they do with willingness in their heart. And they will dare to fight for their way of life, and for their village."

The EaqeVukrr was trying to become more modern in terms of communication with other settlements after current High-Chief Tynan realised that many of the DeseVukrr's problems throughout their approximately 1500 years of history would have never happened should they have not been living hidden and in solitude, with no proper allies from the outlanders. However this involvement in outside politics eventually led to their demise, at least in terms of losing their post-Deiotakas homeland, sacred grounds and their most renowned Chieftain Tynan, who sacrificed himself for the Jungle Natives's survival and changed their way of thinking. Chieftain Tynan is idolised for his deeds by those even beyond Jungle Natives, the natives of the DeseVukrr.

Old Lifestyle
All people of the DeseVukrr would traditionally have a position which is decided after the Becoming-of-the-Sapling trial. However it eventually transpired that the Chieftain will select a position seemingly fitting for any tribesmen who requires one.

Both genders are equal in DeseVukrr lifestyle. Each faced the same challenges in the Becoming-of-the-Sapling trials and each has the same worthiness for all positions.

It was not uncommon for the children of the DeseVukrr to be training from the age of 8 for the Trials, and as such, many become fearsome warriors, fearless hunters or even worthy chieftains as a result of their training. The EaqeVukrr reflects this quality in the form of their chief, but there have been no other survivors of the destruction to enter the village yet, other than a boy claiming to be a member of a recently destroyed branch of the DeseVukrr, a branch which split away a long time ago to move up to the frozen north.

The people of DeseVukrr had many housing options. Some chose to live underground and hidden. Others lived high above in the trees, but most chose to live in cottages and houses on ground level.

Old Tolerances
The Clan used to be far more strict and would have never accepted an outlander into their own group, let alone one of a different belief then themselves, and would have normally traditionally sacrificed anyone who actually found them. However through the reign of Chieftain Tynan, outlanders were allowed to freely enter and leave certain areas of the jungle, such as the Dwellers Square that existed in old EaqeVukrr prior to the Deiotakas, but himself or another tribesmen would have formally asked an outlander to leave should they have visited uncharted and unpaved areas of Wildaven's Jungle within DeseVukrrian claims of sacred land.

It is rumoured that their honour and Chieftain Tynan's compassion even once let shelter a Lesh Warrior, only known as "Power". To shared understanding, this being, dubbed "Unknown" on the population tally, was a DarkHaven sect Zeolite drone, however through his respect to the DeseVukrr, his life was spared and it is even said he befriended the Chieftain.

Skills of the Tribesmen/women
The DeseVukrrian tribemen/women, had trained to become proficient in many skills that led to their survival post-Deiotakas. These skills included weaving, using the skins and pelts of the kills brought back by the hunters and building war canoes, which were used to make transportation, surveillance and patrols in the jungle easier for the hunters. Of course EaqeVukrr remained dominated by the life of hunting.

Weapons
Originally DeseVukrrian Hunters used spears and bows, however as Chieftain Tynan opened up the borders the need for axe training soon arised. It is accepted knowledge that the DeseVukrrian Hunters were both proficient bowmen and skilled axemen, being deadly silent by foot and swift with their killing. The most skilled warriors are rumoured to be called Jungle Guardians, known only by folklore as the Willbringers of Wildaven.

Races
DeseVukrr allowed anyone of any race to join under the rule of Chieftain Tynan, as long as they showed devotion to Wildaven and live by the DeseVukrr lifestyle ideals. Records show through a tally that in EaqiGu'tre, the DeseVukrrian home prior to the Deiotakas, that the following races lived under Chieftain Tynan in DeseVukrr:
 * 2 Elves
 * 2 Common Human
 * 11 Jungle Natives - 2 Jungle Guardians
 * 1 Unknown - Rumoured to be the DarkHaven Zeolite Drone who was nursed to health by orders of Chieftain Tynan

Within the post-Deiotakas claims of the DeseVukrr, DeseVukrrian culture was reclaimed by Jungle Natives, reaching an estimated population of around 30 tribesmen/women.

Jungle Natives
Jungle Natives are the race that spurred from the EaqeVukrr, having been the decedents of the Humari as most noticable with their equally as grey coloured skin, with alterations that have made them a bit broader and shorter, without the pointed ears traited to the Humari.

Jungle Guardians
Through the Deiotakas, Chieftain Tynan felt compelled to do something to further the chance of the Jungle Natives' survival. Therefore, he thought it necessary to extend the ranks of the Jungle Guardians, ancient warriors of the EaqeVukrr, and that all those higher in the hierarchy of governance should receive the same training and fight alongside the combatants. This decision led to the rise of legend in post-Deiotakas society. The Jungle Guardians gave birth to legendary feats on conquests, smashing entire armies as if the task was simple. These men rose to legend within folklore and are still idolised by children and men both devote to Wildaven, especially in Evorgan legend.

All that is known is that these tribesmen and tribesmen came to a rebirth upon swearing a most holiest of oaths to Wildaven in the midst of their sacred land, in the presence of the Father and the Oranje Boruda. Their proficiency in axe and bow was uncompromising, with some not excepting that they could all possibly lie dead. To this end, it is rumoured that when they are killed their blood returns to the roots of nature, bringing the birth of a new Jungle Guardian.

By the allies and enemies of DeseVukrr, these superb warriors became notably known simply as "Hunters", being feared as the spearhead of Wildaven faith. These Hunters wore the skulls of the highest ranking outsider they had killed and were geared in the bounties of Wildaven himself.

A belief of theirs known to those of Templehelm is that the Hunters saw death by sword as a great dishonour to the victim and his legacy if wielded by a DeseVukrrian.

Evorgan legend began to recognise the Jungle Natives when these Hunters were seen pushing back Glacikaldrian invaders out of Evorga, who would have otherwise ransacked the city. It was rumoured that once the Berg-sent enemies of Wildaven reached their forward camp, the Hunters seemingly appeared out of thin air, leaping out of the canals and slaughtering them within their supply shack. The screams were rumoured to have been heard from Evorga main and the children soon started a rumour whereby drums could be heard from the shack as the sun rose and disappeared, played by the Hunters with the ribs of the Berg-sent Attackers. It is even said that the well renowned Mage Magnus was sent running back to Berg after his men were slaughtered by seemingly a pack of ferocious wolves, or as the Hunters would have said, wulves.

The last recorded deed of Chieftain Tynan was the assassination of the King of Thyvor Rannould Monte at Aeribous alongside his Advisor Lynru Ocfar who was present at a spa party that was held there, for diplomacy purposes. The Thyvorian King spat in disrespect to the name of Evorga and Wildaven and the action was not left unnoticed. The two Hunters entered, however it was seemingly a trap with the presence of armed Thyvorian Guards, Vanguards, the presence of their Military Leader who was missing in action, Quan Do I Grant, and soon arriving Stromas reinforcements. The Hunters had finally met their match as they were overwhelmed, however the events that transpired still led to Chieftain Tynan putting a sword through the King of Thyvor, successfully dishonouring the King who felt the wrath of Wildaven through death, successfully paralyzing Thyvor's plans for war against Evorga. The remains of Lynru Ocfar were not found. These events led to Chieftain Tynan sacrificing himself to stop Thyvorian Invaders from destroying the DeseVukrr in their lust for revenge, saving the Jungle Natives once more in his dying breath.
