Daiso Elves

## Of the Forest, Daiso

The Daiso are the bastard cousins of the Fengari as they live within similar forest however, are much less old, much less fierce, and a lot more open to communitcation with outsiders. Daiso are often described as nomatic, traveling from one forest to another in order to not sap the local flora and fauna of life they find this to be a most effective way of living off the land without stripping it down as many civilizations had once done.

### Our Brother's and Sister's

Daiso are broken up into about 5 core clans which travel along the same beaten path in cycle with the seasons. The Miyuru Clan resides nearby Cymai during the summer season when wild strawberries and grapes are abundant but leave to the southern forest of Jumige, whereas the Ipo clan does the exact oppisote. The 5 core clans are: Miyuru, Ipo, Ayruyu, Ige, Liuus, and Ryjuksume, these 5 clans are the largest and most notable of the Daiso clans which interact with one another and cities neighboring their residence at the time. There are many other smaller and less notable clans like the Stuma and Cyube who are fewer in numbers and influence.

### Masters of the Bow and Spear

Daiso children are trained from the age of 7 to 15 in the ways of surviving in the wilds of Ardhia, part of this is the childs training with the bow and arrow and the spear which they will continue to use throughout their life in battles, while hunting, and for other such activities. Even at the end of their training the child is not considered a true master until they complete the Shulking where they are tried in their most nessassary skills: stealth, spear combat, bow and arrow mastery, and agility/climbing.

### Daiso Traditions

**Clan's Greetings** - once every 7 months the 5 main clans gather outside the city of Cymai, other clans are encouraged to join however, during this time the clans share information, food, drink, and activities; this event is also the place many Daiso will meet their partners with whomever in the relationship that has the lower standing changing tribe.

**The Golden Hunt/The Preperation** (Ipo, Ige, and Liuus)- occuring at summers end when the air begins to crispen the clans hunters are sent in the forest where they spend the entire day hunting with each allowed 5 small critters and 1 large. At sunset, the clan gathers at the Bonfire where the elder cooks of the clan prepare the feast in celebration of the changing seasons. The next day the clan begin their trek to their winter forest, with their bellies full, they needn't stop to hunt until they get to their destination with most surviving the trip off of dried meats, berries, and nuts.
