Space and Time

On a desolate world, sparse of life, lives a single tribe that has been able to harness the power of space and time. Here time is a variable that can be controlled and can be reset at will. A resident of this world is able to adjust his or her time of day because of where they live, thus allowing for endless days or nights. Another trait of this land is that time is never definite and is only definite according to what you set it to do. Want to relive a memorable moment? Time can be rewind back to relive that specific moment indefinitely. In order to do this, each person possess a time stone each, which is easily found at the center of the world, the core. With these stones, each person has the ability to perform the previously mentioned tasks individually. Due to the sheer number of people that might conflict on what time of day it is, they have decided to take turns on who controls the overall time of day but anything outside the tribe’s space is up for grabs. 

Space is also another complex subject that has no rules on this world. For the tribes people, space is infinite. Tiny black holes spawn sporadically around the tribe’s land and acts as a form of waste disposal for these people. Furthermore, space is not a problem for the only tribe living on this world as the tribe is constantly migrating to different parts of this world, which has allowed the land to re-grow and rejuvenate for a future migration stop, allowing the cycle to continue. Another peculiar thing about space in this world is that space is not quantified due to the lack of gravity. Kid’s hauling huge loads of belongings or elderly people pulling wagons full of their possessions is a common sight. A caveat about this is that the space they currently occupy, though free from the gravity we are used to, is also a double edge sword as it on occasion has pulled lighter and smaller items right up into space.

A Band of traveling hunters that move when they have exhausted their resources. They live and operate high in the trees to avoid predators and passerbys below. They feed on creatures found on their elevation, from fruits, leaves and small mammals. The hunters consist of a single chieftain and his partner that organizes most of the band’s activities.  A dominant trait of the people is their tough leather like skin that they have adapted to due to the rough bark and thorns in the trees. Their culture is very much reliant on their physical enriment and they change according to that. They also are able to share ideas and collections of data through written scripts on big leaves on paper that are stored in bags made out of tree bark. Encounters are often rare but other bands sometimes but just for the purpose of passing on information. Their mythos and ideology believes in life after death and they worship a nature deity, similar to mother nature.  Their primary form of communicat

Rich in history and with character, here you get to discover the man within you and fight like a warrior while you dine like a king. Located on the island, a small outpost at the shore will be your guide through the rough terrain till reaching the village.
