Eidolon Tribes

The **Eidolon Tribes** (sometimes refered to as "The Eidolon" or "Tribes), as they have been misnamed by outsiders, is the sovereign nation of the Eidolon people. It stands to southeast of Arcallos, west of the Augapall Junnar and south of The Hive. The Bramble Fortress, an immense mass of vegetation and overgrowth, serves as the capital and holy city of the Tribes.

## Etimology

The name for the "Eidolon Tribes" comes from a misnomer made by outsiders, as the Eidolon do not have any internal tribal division nor leadership. In reality, the way the Eidolon refer to their nation in Shrub Wisp, their native tongue, can be very unreliably translated to "The Collective".

## History

### Prehistory, Legend

As per [To be named religion], the Eidolon were created by Rippleglo , the Vector of Liquid Pure. Rippleglo was in dire need of assistance, as their form was broken during a fight with the Titans of Shadow, beings who desired to blot out the sun. To rebuild itself, the Vector of Liquid Pure needed gold, and it instructed the Eidolon to scatter to the four corners of Ef'tar looking for it.

Although there is much debate on what happened during that time, one thing is certain, the Eidolon succeeded, and were bestowed two gifts: The Bramble Fortress, built from the same thicket as them, and the Heart of Growth, a holy conduit between the Vector of Liquid Pure and the Speaker of the Bramble (or Meristema).

### Prehistory, Recorded

As with much of the world, the only recoverable recorded history for the Eidolon lies within the 3000 year old mark Before the Dawn (BtD). From what can be glimpsed from these ancient scriptures, the Eidolon have [Relations between the Eidolon Tribes and other nations surrounding it to be defined]. Beyond that, the position of Meristema has been swapped at least 3 times, with The Roe being the last among that line.

Other things that can also be confirmed is: the Faith of Pure Waters has been the only, dominant religion within Eidolon society; Thorn, the currency of the Eidolon Tribes, was originally made out of acid grafted bark and changed to acidian copper at some point between the last 1500 years BtD; The original material used for spuri shaping was an alloy made out of acidian copper mixed with mud with trace amounts of nickel, which, while yielding something tangetially related to bronze, was more akin to constantan then any other alloy.

### Iron Age, Current Day

The Iron Age for the Eidolon began slightly later then their neighbours, when a group of Eidolon metallurgists, seeking ways to avoid conflict with the Augapall Junaar, looked into means to exploit a much more common and accessible resources. Through throu testing and careful measuring, an acid capable of melting iron was concocted and, quickly, the secrets of its formula were spread. Soon enough, acid processed iron, called spuri-steel, became the mainline material for spuri shaping.
