Week 1
As I begin my journey across this strange land, I am not completely sure how to proceed. My supplies are limited, so I will likely need to search for food or find people with whom to trade. I also worry about becoming lost in the wilds. This is dangerous, especially without any weapons.
I have managed to identify several fixed constellations by which to align my sextant. It should give me the means to track my movements and map this new world. I plan to leave copies of my notes for others who may come after me. My journey started at 21° South 42° West. I plan to move north toward a settlement I saw from a tree at 8° South 45° West.
Week 2
The Barako Tribe worship the strength of the Great Apes of this land of Eodon. They are a martial people; both sexes train as hunters and warriors. While they prefer to use bludgeoning weapons, one of their greatest heroes, Halawa, used a bow to rescue her infant daughter from a silverback gorilla. The tribe has built its home in the high trees.
It seems that there is great animosity between the Barako and another tribe known as the Kurak. I am going to leave before I am caught in the middle of their conflict. I have learned of another settlement at 3° North 62° West which may have answers.
Week 3
The Urali are a strange people. Their skin has a green tint, likely because of diet and dyes. The color matches the turtles that are common in the area. Their warriors carry shields made from discarded turtle shells. Like the Dragon Turtle they worship, all of their chieftains are women, the strongest shield duelists in the tribe. All of the shamans of the tribe are the male descendants of a Shaman named Wamap, who created the spells of protection they still use.
The Dragon Turtle did not seem as intelligent as the draconic creatures of legend, and will thus give me no answers, so I will head out in a few days to 17° North 54° West.
Back to Tomes from Eodon
