[QUOTE="John E Smoke, post: 1359737, member: 16129"] [b]Attar and the Jasad[/b] Upon the death of Larhk, an aged hunter of the Jasad who in his latter days was always ready to tell a tale of the bravery of others, Attar appears once again in the guise of an orc. With great reverence, Attar directs the tribe to take his remains to the shore and construct a pyre, then claims the old hunter's spirit as the fire is lit and takes it back with him into his own "spirit" world from where he watches over the tribe. [COLOR=Red]"Larhk, you have lived a full life and given much to your people. I give you a choice; I can scatter your essence so that you might one day be reborn, or you may remain here with me, and watch over our people for so long as your name is honored by their memory."[/COLOR] When the rest of the tribe arrives at their new home, Attar appears to take part in the lively celebration. Attar takes a moment during this time to take Jalakar aside to speak in relative privacy. [COLOR=Red]"The Jasad prosper more now than ever, but there is always more to be done. Without your guidance, I believe much of what I have asked could not be accomplished. The tribe regards you as irreplaceable, but the inevitable must come despite all our wishes. Though you shall be the first chieftain to reside in the great lodge, you shall not be the last. You must choose a successor to walk in your place when the time comes."[/COLOR] The day after the feast, Attar decides to try spurring the imagination of one of the children. As the young orc watches over the herd, the notion appears in her mind to attempt to make images, just as Attar himself. The tribe continues to live as they have, though some are encouraged to learn even more about the plants in the region, and how to make them grow. Some of the hunters eventually tire of flint weapons and seek out better materials if they can, while others still grow jealous of the great speed of the wild horses they witness, wondering if they could capture these beasts much as they did the oxen from the tundra.
