Wait a minute, you guys in the swamp are in the best place to find species similar to crocigators... Huh, I better do research on that later when my tribe's a civilization and can actually spend votes for scouts to explore without ruining my plan. Oh, and what are our teal berries like? Are they just teal grapes or just teal blueberries? What about the general region of our river/forest/plains/mixed environment? The Teal Berries have a sweet scent that tends to attract animals and insects towards them, they grow on rather clean bushes and are easily visible, especially after breeding efforts have emphasized that trait to draw out more creatures and make it easier for gatherers to get to. ' I think of them more like grapes but the choice is yours. The region in which you reside is not really a forest or plains. The area around the river itself have a good amount of trees and wildlife, and various plants along the bank, but if you go past a certain distance from the river the land is more rocky and hilly, not barren but not a lot of anything. The river itself is pretty far apart, but your people have managed to cross at narrow points and build small rafts to cross. the land directly next to the river is covered in reed plants.

OK challenge 1! I want everyone who wants to or can, to write a small short story that is typically told around the campfires of your tribes! (there might be something in it for you)

Say, what sort of foods are my people eating exactly? I remember seeing mention of some grains in the previous round, yet in the description there isn't really any mention of what my tribe grows for food. This may or may not have any impact on my entry into the challenge.

This may or may not have any impact on my entry into the challenge. Most of the food eaten by the Hakshah is actually a fistsized fruit that grows on the stems off the branch's that grow from the ground, but at the top of these stems are a sort of grain that can be heated into soups and taste quite good or ground into tiny pieces that can be mixed into other foods or potentially even baked if one would do that. There are also small game about the size of a good or sometimes bigger often caught by the traps left by huntergatheres for food, and sometimes some bigger things are brought in by the Mosi that can feed even more. Meat is not a big part of the diet, but does have it's own place.

Similar question, what would the Limu be eating?

Mostly the Limu collect various berries and fruits they find around the various tribes, though recently there has been a shift to basic agriculture with the advent of territories and competing clans. There are also various small game around the valley that is caught and even some larger animals about the size of a person that can be hunted by groups. Recently there has been a rising number of the herbivores that help with digging up ground for plants, they are sometimes eaten for meat but some of them are mammals, giving an interesting possibility if exploited Do the Konetenfolger lay eggs ? Yes, they do for the most part lay eggs in clutches of about 5, though they do seem to have family dynamics around them

EDIT: Wait, would discovering baking (even simple baking) require its own vote, or is it springing up on its own?

Do you mean more advanced cooking or baking specifically? you will have to have a vote for more advanced cooking I think if you want on, but after a few turns other things happen naturally if the circumstances happen. In relation to the story, how lond does it have to be ? Also, are there any dangerous creatures living in the swamp that my people have encoutered ? It doesn't have to be very long, I just want to see what you guys think life for your people is like. Most of your people do not venture into the swamp because it is hard to navigate, however there are strange beings within the swamp, some that are vaguely humanoid and trail the scouts, and others that crawl along on all fours and some that swing from vine to vine. Others roar and stand tall among the swamp trees. There are also creatures in the waters, but they are not near enough to the tribe to be a common problem, more its a problem for scouts and hunters

Can you tell me more about the humanoids ? I think I can use them for the story.

I do of course refer to just baking in this instance, like simple "bake the grains on a rock over a fire" type baking. Simple pure grain bread, since my people haven't discovered yeast and its properties yet.

Most encounters have been at a distance, but the sightings mainly confirm that they have 2 arms, 2 legs, can travel well in the vines, sometimes move on all fours but are mainly bipedal. Some have claimed they are wild men, others claim they are simply hominid beasts I do of course refer to just baking in this instance, like simple "bake the grains on a rock over a fire" type baking. Simple pure grain bread, since my people haven't discovered yeast and its properties yet. Well your people do simple cooking already, though that's mainly roasting things over a fire and sometimes mixing some thing together and the longer they cook and the more they experiment the more they will discover different things, some things do need to be discovered or invented first, but baking itself does not really take a vote

I'll just assume it's a bit more common than meat in my tribe's diet.

Those Xi`Thoi-like creatures that were mentioned i nthe latest round shall hence be referred to as Xi`Thixans (or singularly just Xi`Thixan). The big pack beasts that were from the first round shall now be called Xi`Thardans.

Completely tangential question here, but the small blurbs that mention modern scholars, they're really cool. Will they ever be built upon? What I'm getting at is perhaps a small piece or blurb from the perspective of these modern scholars that are looking into these ancient developments and possibly sharing their own opinions on them. Though it'd probably only work once the game progresses closer to the perspective of the scholars rather than ancient times.
