100 - 200 A.E
The Tribal Wars and the Great Shattering.

The Great Migration was but a blur, an undocumented mess, known only by what is passed by mouth. By the Second Century however, Highborn among the Grogar Tribes had begun to document the new age, properly record their people's deeds and actions after the Fall of the Promethean Empire. What is obviously known is that the lands surrounding the still divided and sought after city of Gurak was split between the Great Three, who in the decades, had slowly expanded outward and maintained dominions outside the city.

Lands settled by minor Grogar Tribes came to eventually form Tribal Alliances, filling in the void left by the Empire. Surprisingly for the Grogar, the years between 110 and 120 A.E. were more disturbingly "quiet" then usual. Conflict did occur, with skirmishes between tribes and liberated slave conclaves being the most common, but raids and battles of the scale during the Fall were a rare sight indeed.

The tribes used this Quiet as an opportunity to build their strength. Coastal tribes making use of the endless resources at their disposable, cutting through the jungles to build up large coastal forts and sea-faring vessels. Inland Tribes continued to fortify themselves as they prepared, ironically, making use of prisoners as slave labor. From small barely defensible camps, to fortress towns fit to fend off opposing tribes. The Decade of Silence was soon to end as the tribes grew in numbers, ready to wage a war unlike they've seen before, and so the Tribal Wars begun. From 121 A.E. to 170 A.E. The Grogar had fought in brutal slog of a war. The jungles of the West stained with the blood of millions as the tribes fought in hat seemed to be an neverending war. The bloody conflict would prove too much for the Great Three as they lost hold over Gurak as they lost more and more territory and wore one another down in the city.

The Highborn Memory Keepers saw fit to declare the conflict completely over by 171 A.E.

The end of the Tribal Wars also saw the end of the Great Three and the Tribal Alliances as they were. Although there was little difference admittedly, but there was indeed some. Most tribes, big and small, had either by dispersed or were completely destroyed. The Inland Grogar, for a good part of the Second and Third Centuries, were aimless Warbands slaughtering each other for even greater petty excuses. Few of the small inland tribes remained, but were too weak to assert themselves as dominant powers. And like the warbands, wore themselves down fighting among themselves or foolishly attacking the the slave conclaves, weakening themselves even further.

In the last decades of the Second Century, the city became even more violent. The fighting becoming more aimless then the warands themselves, more of a all-out melee, not one Grogar fighting for a single tribe, rather fighting for themselves.

The real power for the moment lied to the south. Few the isolated coastal tribes remained, however, like their northern brethren, they were in no position to conquer the aimless horde. Their eyes gazing upon the waters and the bounties that await beyond.

Rocky flesh I must exploit if I ever get there!(which might not be likely :P )

And yeah, it's gonna be real fun :D Next turn will be some more grogar infighting. Maybe the one after is when the Grogar start encroaching upon Dwarven lands.

@Shorticus How about Matriarch or Hierarch?

Quite true, never know what the end of this phase will bring.

The Great Grogar Migration

Zhodul, once it was one of several symbols of oppression by the hands of the Masters, hairy apes that saw themselves superior to all other lower races. The Fall however, showed the opposite. Once their numbers grew fewer, we rose up in arms and struck them down. We then ate in a Grand Feast, our former masters and "allies" filled our stomachs for many days on end and kept us sated for the time being. But soon we grew hungry once more, both in our appetites and in power. The Warchiefs did not seek to share rule of the city and the lands around, and with that, a new war had begun. The Three Great Tribes, the Ashbringers, the Whitclaws, and the Dragonfangs all stuggle for control of we now call Gurak. The streets run red with blood and the fighting continues to this day. The fighting had forced many smaller tribes to look beyond the city's limits, and o the Great Migration begun.

Grogar tribes had dispersed to all corners, some venturing into the grasslands, others going deeper into the southern jungles, some even going as far as the coast. The next century was one of war after war. Remnant Settlements of the Masters were soon discovered by the grogar, and despite fighting well, were eventually overrun. Former Slave camps and other liberated settlements however stood strong and defiant agianst the hordes, but how long that lasts, time can only tell.

Major Events of Gurak- 1st Century

Cultural: No significant cultural changes were made at this time.

Technological: Grogar Tribes have begun forging their own weapons and armor.

Military: Minor Grogar tribes set out to conquer land with mixed results. Several Fortresses and large Encampments have risen over the century. The Three Great Tribes continue their war for the city.

Government Changes: None were made at this time.

Territorial Expansion:

Grogar tribes may also accept none-grogar races into their ranks as time goes on.

Yup. Sovereign's nation has humans. There also that one player in the interest check who made a human nation, but hasn't shown up.
