Primordial Evolution Game/Ighqatar
Ighqatar is a tribe of Kwagos located on the northern end of the Central Continent of the Primordial Evolution Game, introduced into play at the beginning of the Civilization stage of the game.
The Ighqatar have spent the past several generations living in nomadic fashion, wandering the northern reach of the continent in forced isolation under the rule of Ydraioni the Liar. Ydraioni was recently overthrown by their current leader, Icouri. A budding civilization, they have yet to establish contact with other tribes.
History
Though much is lost of the Ighqatar tribe's true origins, legend has it that there were seven Kwagos who were lost for a period of time in the jungle on the northern end of the continent. Lacking the skill to navigate their way back home, they wandered for weeks, incurring several casualties. Due to the unique nature of the vegetation which inhabits the northern jungle, one of the few remianing began to have delusions of grandeur. Eventually several of them found their way back to their tribe (though it is unknown which one). The Kwagos claimed to have been enlightened, to have been touched by the gods while he was lost, and that it was a direct result of his gods that he was able to save the few he had brought back, including himself. He converted many followers and one day returned with them to the jungle. Details about the events which transpired within the time between this and those leading to the death of their most recent leader, Ydraioni the Liar, are unknown.
Introductory post
Dirt, grime and blood smeared across Ydraioni, the Firstborn's face. The sudden wave shouting and cheering hit him as his legs gave way from the blinding pain in his skull. As he fell, he opened his eyes for one last drink of the mortal world before it slipped away from his grasp.
His last sight was that of the miserable soul that incited this uprising in the first place. Her name was Icouri the Usurper.
He tried one last time to rise to his challenger, but his limbs would not obey him. Icouri stood above him, hooting and raising the blood-stained stone above her head victoriously. Ydraioni's vision faded, and for a moment he was blind. In that last moment, he imagined, the crowd was cheering for him.
So passed Ydraioni the Liar. No more would the group wander the tundras in forced isolation under Ydraioni's tyranny.
Under their new leadership, the tribe named themselves the Ighqatar, "The sun's second rising." The memory of their origin had been wiped out through generations of manipulation and slavery, but in their grasp once again are the tools to write the next pages of their story.
Current Status
The Ighqatar are currently attempting to build shelters and simple residences, establish an agricultural system, and hunt or fish for a reliable food source.
