[u]Chapter 6, 1.2, The Antisamatorkus and other small tribes.[/u] [i]The Following is an excerpt from a play written by one of the early writer and philosopher: Trunipscus. Despite being a much better philosopher than playwright, Trunipscus creates so many plays that historians are often left with nothing but his writing, which is very difficult to translate, as their only reference. The play is titled "The Flight of the Antisamatorkus." It is written in a special style where, during dialogue, each sentence is double the length of the last. He is often criticized by Sarasaric for his extreme pacifism. His daughter, Glorialia, would write the popular "An Ode to the First Kings." She wrote this just months before her father's mysterious death. This is written about a group of nomads (about a quarter of the original Sarasaric) that decide to continue travelling instead of joining the settlers. [/i] Gregackamal: Frigidum! The woods! I see a pond! Frigidum: I will go. Stay here my family and friends. Stay out in the open where it is safe, I'll return soon. [Poor, beloved Frigidum became lost, and Gregackamal left to find him, only to find him dead in the woods, surrounded by a group of Antisamatorkus hunters] Gregackamal: Alas! Poor Frigidum! You horrible, evil villains! Hunter: We are sorry! We weep at this life lost! We thought he was a beast and we struck him with arrows. Gregackamal: A beast, Frigidum was to you? A beast you are all to me and any sensible not-beast! [Gregackamal returned to his group and half of the nomadic went back to Sarasaric to tell the settlers of the beloved Frigidum's violent death. These senseless hunters would pay for the his friend's death. Their dumb and lame steeds, or the "precious Antignis" would perish to the might of young warriors...] [i]The Antisamatorkus would eventually disappear after a conflict with the Sarasaric. Many historians agree this is because too many male members of the tribe died in skirmishes with the Sarasaric.[/i]
