[b]Alvith Population: 167 - Age of Rielo[/b] [@Cuddle Pot] The Alvith child Oarlo enjoyed what he thought was a game. Oarlo would start to pick up everything that was traded for the tusk, placing the toad upon his head. The young Alvith then would wave to the two creatures before going to take everything to hut he lived at with his parents. Oarlo planned to give the toad a name when he could think of one. Raclo and Maule were both confused by sight of what they watched but decided to let it pass. The creatures seemed rather harmless and Maule would head off to go tend the Ogurk herd. Raclo stood his ground making sure creatures had left before returning back into village. --- The sun was high in sky and Chief Rielo Kriivith had arranged some strips of meat from a Ogurk to lay in the sun. During the night in dreams the Chief had been restless, wanting to discover what he believed Great Serpent had shown him. The heat of sun in sky would dry out the strips of meat left out. Thinking back to carcass that had been dried by sun the mind of Chief Rielo struggled to understand. Then the thought entered his mind and Chief Rielo realized the Great Serpent watchful eye had kept the meat of carcass edible longer by the drying. With ability to keep the meat longer before it began to rot the Alvith would be able to more effectively store food. With this new insight Chief Rielo Kriivith would go to tell those in charge of storing meat in huts discovery. Dried meat, a gift from the Great Serpent in eyes of Alvith. The watchful gaze of sun ensuring the growth of strength for the Alvith. The ability to keep meat longer meant more food as was less waste from the meat rotting. The population of the Alvith swelled with more young born and with that would come the worry of Chief Rielo Kriivith. The Alvith were strongest they had ever been under the current Chief but concerns now arose in Chief Rielo over the Alvith not having enough space. The huts of Ogurk hide and bone worked fine for population when smaller but the huts of the Alvith were not made to support the numbers currently. The thought of having Alvith split would ruin Chief Rielo Kriivith as it would show weakness but that was all that the Chief could think of.
