[QUOTE="Kavyk, post: 1358472, member: 16105"] As an aside, I'm not sure that Eilil himself knows more than a little about the light magic, since that is basically how he manifests to the Radu elves. As long as several months are going to pass, Eilil will single out another pair of individuals, at least one female and neither of them as old as Alade, to learn this magic. It has some offensive uses, such as blinding opponents, and bending light to make things invisible, so he will teach them those aspects as well. In the intervening time, while they are in the caves, Eilil will teach them the concept of 'writing' so that they may pass on their ideas, and what they have learned and seen more easily using paint made from blood or berries while the walls of the cave will be the first place to record their history. Alade and the two other disciples must learn this as well. Once everyone can draw passably, and preferably write some as well, he organizes some expeditions. He wants the Radu to begin exploring, so he sends two groups along the river during one week. They are to travel for two days, then return. When they get back, he sends another two groups out away from the river for two days. He shows them the stars and explains that they all stay constant and if they follow certain ones they can return. To ensure that they are not lost, he flies into the heavens himself where he glows brightly each night at dusk, so they get a head start. Knowing that the flood season will otherwise trap them in the arboreal village, he also demonstrates one last item, the crafting of a dug-out canoe and paddles so that they will be able to return to the shore and so that they can continue to fish to keep up supplies. He also admonishes them to bring in the harvest and store it before the floods commence, most especially fruits and roots.[I am making the assumption that they have pottery of some type to store things in. Otherwise, Eilil will teach them that as well. Also, I am sort of cheating, since I am very much hoping they will 'accidentally' leave some fruit too long and we will discover fermentation.] Eilil continues to live among his people and will be open to answer any questions they might have. Once the tree village is built and a system of writing is established and there are some brighter than average leaders to carry on, he will observe for a few more weeks to ensure that they have taken his lessons to heart before he takes his leave of them for a time.

He wants them to manifest their own creativity and when someone seems close to having a great idea, he will subtly help them. On the evening when he plans to leave he gathers the Radu. [COLOR=Yellow]"The Radu, my people, have pleased me well this last year. It is time now for me to let you find your own path.
