-descendants, who had migrated gradually southwards along the western coast of the continent. They originally settled on the lower coastal reaches of the river in hunting and fishing communities, living on what food they could harvest from the native flora and fauna. They were later displaced by more advanced settlers from the north, who seized the coast and built cities. The original settlers were forced upstream, and eventually they were forced to flee through the mountain gap, into the forests of Gyeil.

The tribes scraped a difficult living from the native forests. Most water had to be filtered to be safe, and tribes developed filtration columns from charcoal and native mosses. Many fruits, leaves and animal flesh were toxic but some could be processed or cooked in certain ways to make them edible. There was still malnutrition however, and lacking any introduced domestic livestock, one of the greatest sources of “prime” meat was human flesh. Originally, families would cook and eat the flesh of loved ones as part of the death ritual. Later, tribes raided each other deliberately, taking victims for sacrifice to their barbaric woodland goods, but more importantly as food. A strong and murderous warrior culture developed.

With time the forest-dwelling tribes settled, but survived on conflict and conquest. After centuries of raiding, they eventually conquered the riverlands and became a proud, wealthy and arrogant ruling elite, princes of the rivers.
