~---------------------~A Nightmace Outpost~---------------------~
You have arrived. After a journey west from the meadows and woodlands into the forbidding wilderness beyond, your harsh flight has finally ended. Your party of twenty is to make a colony for the glory of the expanding nightmace species.
There are almost no supplies left, but with hard work comes sustenance. Whether by spear, claw, or spine, provide for your Nightmaces. You are expecting a supply caravan before winter entombs you, but it is Spring now. Enough time to delve secure lodgings ere the Kitzech get hungry. A new chapter of Nightmace history begins here at this place, [Name Not Found]. Strike the earth!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the burgeoning Sophont Nightmaces begin to expand across the continent, one small band of twenty, along with a mating pair of Eagle Squids and a small supply of food and tools for the journey, travels west in search of new territory to raise their young in. As they head towards the rising sun, they come upon a temperate foothills of pine woodland, cool but protected from the creeping frost of this clime by warm, moist high altitude winds blowing from the south. A few miles to the north, a sheltered cove sits where the river delta sweeps a gulley in the land. Many miles to the south lies the shore of the warm southern ocean. Your band settles down in a small meadow to take stock of their situation beneath the azure pines. The land slopes gracefully upward from the hollow you rest in. The land is covered in small, tough shrubs reminiscent of heather, along with more delicate plants resting in the shelter of the hills, with thick, rough trees arching above. You have only yourselves, eight spears, two sets of basic cutting tools, several web sacks, and a bit of food left. You had to leave your herds behind when you migrated.
The time has come to set up nests and begin to establish yourself, but first you must make some important decisions. What will you call this place, and your newly birthed civilization?
Twenty Nightmaces
Two Eagle Squids
Three Days Food
Twelve Sacks
Eight Spears
Two Knives
As a sidenote, do Nightmaces have genders? It was never really established.
