Baraenion Tribe

In the Unten series, the Baraenion TribeAlso capitalized as Baraenion tribe; rarely called the Baraenions is a tribe of Zeonian humans native to Peaceful Plains, Nukingdom, on the continent Garth of Zeon. Fissure describes the tribe as advanced. It is narratively contrasted with the industrialism of the Doomuli.
Its leader is Chief DongorioChief Baraenion in The Bluebird Augury, who adopts Unten into the tribe in most iterations of the Unten series. Other members include MondoMioda in Prodigy, The Bluebird Augury, Fissure (April 2022), and Fissure! (June 2022), Zerita, Red FeatherA magic wielder introduced in the Fantendo - Gaiden episode "Blaze It", and SakariA proposed character for The Bluebird Augury, there named Sakari Baraenion.
==History==
The Baraenion Tribe is introduced in Fissure. Its members remain unaware of Doomulus Grime's invasion until his use of the GigaDrill opens a fissure that splits Zeon in half. In the process, the rest of the tribe is separated from Unten. Members of the Baraenion Tribe would have taken a more active story role in later games planned for the original series. Chief Dongorio would have been the playable character in the first Tragedy game. However, with Unten off-world, he cannot stop the Doomuli from destroying Zeon's moon, leading to the titular Tragedy.
In the Prodigy reboot series, the tribe is present but unnamed in Fissure (2014). It has marked a prophecy against a rock, foretelling that a bear-like hero will take out a great evil. The tribe is initially located in a small village, once also referred to as a camp. After Unten's arrival, a Grime Bot attack forces the village to relocate to the canyons. Within the trilogy, the tribe is not mentioned again after the murder of Chief Dongorio at the end of the game.
In the continuity of the game Zeon, the Baraenion Tribe are treasure hunters who explore a fissure in Zeon. An explosion separates Unten from the other tribe members.
In Act I of Fissure! (June 2022), Chief Dongorio rejects an offer for the Baraenion tribe to join the Nukingdom Alliance, believing that it is doomed to fail. Several years later, when lacking resources to defend against the underground tremors, the Baraenion leaders vote to attempt to join the alliance, and Chief Dongorio nominates Unten to convince its member nations.
==Culture==
The most prominent depictions of members of the Baraenion Tribe are seemingly inspired by Indigenous peoples of North America. All of the human members with known designs wear feathered headdresses, designed after the Cape Feather from the Mario franchise. The redesigns in Fissure! (June 2022) avoid this design element.
Fantendo Kart Ultra introduces another item of clothing used by the Baraenion Tribe, the Tribal Mask.
In the original canon, the tribe does not seem to use surnames. In The Bluebird Augury, all members would have had the last name Baraenion.
