It’s been a minute since our last tribe story, but we are back with one of our favorite Vazzard tribe : meet the Noseys!

Lore and description
The Noseys have established themselves in a sunny canyon in the center of the Wilderness, where everyone lives in their own little crevice.

They are mostly introverts, and don't take much interest in community living. They are proud, with moderate respect for other Noseys and a proper disdain for the rest of the Vazzards. They are rational, thirsty for knowledge and constantly feel the need to understand the world around them. They live longer than other tribes, thanks to their medical knowledge and advanced farming techniques.

Internal organization
The Noseys choose a Decisionner to govern them. The position is generally considered a chore, since the Decisionner must sacrifice their spare time to answer the grievances of others. Still, they are the only ones with the power to compel a Nosey to work with others for the sake of the tribe (e.g. digging a tunnel).

Culture and traditions

The Noseys are naturally skeptical, and believe only what they can see. They still pray to the Spirits on specific occasions, but more as a matter of tradition than of conviction. They figure that if the Spirits exist, it's best not to offend them, and if they don't, they don't really miss much. On the other hand, they don't worship the Oracle and consider his legend a myth. They consider the Arboreal to be quirky and mystical weirdos.

Special traits

• They are a little hunchbacked from spending all day bent over their experiments.
  
• Their tail is curved like a question mark.
  
• They live so old that towards the end of their lives, their scales become discolored.

Tribal chief: Akuta
Akuta is the only Vazzard to have managed to tame a giant raven, which allows him to fly on its back. Akuta can communicate with the ancestral spirit of Koeit, but hardly anyone knows about it. He is also the one who has enabled the Noseys to learn to read and write again.

Akuta discovered the existence of the Flying Cities of the Hostiles, but suffered a terrible accident while trying to approach them. Although crippled, he has lost none of his quick-wittedness and, little by little, has managed to build himself a kind of harness that enables him to fly again.

It’s time for another tribe story! This time, we are going to talk about the Arboreals, or the forest tribe, as they like to be called.
The Arboreals settled in the Forest of Spirits a long time ago and haven't left since. Voluntarily secluded, even ascetic, they have achieved a state of constant communion with the spiritual world and with Nature in particular.
For Arboreal, The Forest is a unique place where the boundaries between the material and spiritual worlds are much thinner than anywhere else.

This deep connection has led them to pay little attention to the concept of death. For them, nothing would be more beautiful than the moment when they return to the earth to ascend as Spirits.
Nonetheless, the living world is also part of the balance of things, and the Arboreals understand that a life that departs before its time goes against the natural cycle. That's why they look after their well-being and their environment, a harmony recently undermined by devastating natural disasters that have ravaged part of the Forest of Spirits.

One downside of their lifestyle is that they are no longer fitted to any other environment. Their unique ecosystem is found nowhere else in the Wilderness, making most of their special abilities and characteristics irrelevant elsewhere.

That's why their leader, Pau'Ju, is desperately trying to make the damaged parts of the forest grow back faster, even if it means upsetting the natural cycle. Because, unfortunately, the time Nature would normally take to cure itself far exceeds the little time the Arboreals have left.

The Arboreal could be considered among the most beautiful Vazzards in the Wilderness, as their natural camouflage features delicate scaly growths reminiscent of various plants, as well as collars whose pattern imitates that of foliage.

Pau'ju saw her body partially distorted during her attempts to resurrect the Forest. She believed that the protection of the Spirits would be enough to keep the Aether's influence at bay and enable her to "purify" her power. Unfortunately, this was not the case and Pau'Ju realized this too late.

We embark on another captivating journey into the enchanting world of AETHERIS, with an enthralling new tribe story that explores the mysteries of The Augurs tribe.
Many moons ago, a group of refugees known as the Augurs settled near an ancient Aether mine. Its insidious influence gradually isolated them from the Spirits to the extent that the Augurs began to mistake it for one single Great Spirit. In their misguided reverence, they began to warp their beliefs around the vast and potent influence emanating from the sprawling power of the Aether.

The Aether bestows innate gifts, such as exceptional strength and powers, but its “blessings” come at a cost. Infused with it from birth, Augurs have a shorter lifespan than other Vazzards. While the Aether keeps them alive, prolonged separation from it not only weakens them but can also lead to fatal consequences. They are, therefore, entirely bound to it.

This is why the legend of the Oracle has become a fundamental truth for them, as has the prophecy of his return. He is the one who will be worthy enough of the Great Spirit to make him hear his will and become one with it. This is something the Augurs, subject to the Aether by nature, are unable to do.

For them, the spread of the Aether is a sign that the Great Spirit is growing impatient, searching for his chosen one. Eager to please him and fulfill the prophecy, the Augurs see themselves as the bearers of his will and have found a rare opportunity in the eternal conflict between the villages.

They send vengeance-seeking adventurers who cross their path on the trail of this famous “great power” to the source of the Aether in the hope of seeing a new Oracle emerge.
Elioch is a mysterious character.
Blind but once the bearer of great visions, covered in veils and fabrics with only their snout and claws showing, everything about them reinforces the aura of mystical greatness that surrounds them.

In his youth, Elioch was the Augurs' greatest hope, a possible reincarnation of the Oracle among them. More resistant to the effects of the Aether than his siblings, he enjoyed its benefits for a long time, suffering few consequences. Additionally, he experienced visions and heard voices surrounding him that only he could perceive. Recognizing these as signs from the Great Spirit, both the Augurs and Elioch himself became convinced that he was the long-awaited chosen one.

So Elioch dove into the Shade in search of the Great Spirit's "heart" but barely made it back.
The Aether concentration there was so intense that its influence eventually caught up with him. Between monsters and dazzling corruption, Elioch literally lost his scales and barely made it back to his family. He had never heard a voice since.

Elioch saw their failure as a punishment for the undeserving who impersonated the Oracle, a misinterpretation of the will of the Great Spirit, who wanted to make Elioch his herald instead of his chosen one, the guide who would enable the Oracle to reveal themselves.

Although Elioch lost his scales and later his sight, his power, and longevity relative to their peers remain intact. A great spiritual guide to the Augurs, and tests potential candidates and trains them to enter the Shade to retrieve the Great Spirit’s heart.
