IslandDescription of region: Roughly spherical and honeycombed with caverns, this island contains deep treasures long hidden, is rife with fungal life, moss, and slimes.A large network of fibrous plantlike life is interwoven throughout the island, surace and cavern alike. Deep inside are pools of water, even vast lakes. Great crystal formations can be found within, and even jutting out from the surface at various points. Insects, birds, and small mammals are not infrequent on the surface, and can be found in droves in locations below.
Reason why it sucks to live here:The fibrous plantlike network is chemically reactive, and somehwat unpredictable in it's cycles. It can nourish, but it can as easily consume.
Another reason: the seas within are host to mysterious and dangerous creatures, which occasionally boil over into the caverns, consuming much, dragging all back into the murky depths. these creatures are referred to as the Hosts of Id.
Any extra reasons:The Tribe thrives on external stimuli, and long periods of inactivity render the Tribe dormant. frequent excursions to the surface are necessary in the long eras between worldly contact, for the Tribe to peer outward, studying the inter-island environment.

TribeRace: Lightning Monkeys (Nuros)
Description: Vivid yellow, long limbed, highly active critters. they are essentially conglomerates of several disparate physical pieces, energized and united electromagnetically (or some mystical equivalent). Sometimes, one physical piece will be dropped by one, to be gathered by another. It is the interplay between the physical and the energetic that determines the individual. They inhabit the Fibrous Network, racing along it's long branches, eating what they can find, communing with one another in large, highly socialized groups. Individual Lightning Monkeys are always picking up some item, sound, sight, or idea and communicating it into the mass of monkeys, which races off to the next thing dependent on which input dominates.
Why they live in this awful place: Where else would they live? Some say their original home was in the clouds amidst the storms, others say they arose from The Seas of Id, and will return thence. still others thing their destiny is to wing between islands, drawing all together again, and causing the World United to look outward once more. Still others say other things, or nothing at all.
Tribe leader: He is called simply Ego. He is always in the midst of the Tribe, sorting amongst the various offerings of the changeable Lightning Monkeys, and acting on which He deems best, most interesting, or strongest (i.e having the most voices / loudest voices presenting it)
Your priest: Sego sits on the shoulder of Ego and whispers in his ear of things higher, things beyond the immediate, of Gods and Worlds beyond.
Culture: Highly social. The concept of the individual is weak, except on a macro scale. they view the entire tribe as "I" in relation to others, and often it is unclear if they view their environment as part of the tribe or separate from it.
Special aspects: physical pieces are essentially living conduits or the energies of the Tribe, their physical makeup varies, and any individual TribesMonkey can have dozens or hundreds of pieces. As such, their body arrangements are quite variable - numbers of arms, legs, heads, sensory organs, and internal bits vary. there are several essential types of physical pieces necessary for a Monkey to exist - a central trunk, a Processing piece, (other). A collection of pieces without the required makeup can still move about randomly., but is considered as animated parts rather than as an identity.
