Pre-Lemurians

The Pre-Lemurians were a Neolithic culture endemic to the Wumpa Archipelago, primarily a Polynesian racial group that traveled to the islands over a land bridge, during a glacial period 30,000 years ago. They were a genetically Polynesian racial group, and were slowly bred out of existence following Lemurian colonization.

These peoples were more technologically primitive than the Lemurians, and were largely fearful of them and acted out aggressively due to this fear. They were tricked into agreeing upon a Rights Upon Future offer they claimed that if the circumstances would improve for the Lemurians on Cortex Island, then the circumstances would in turn be afforded to the pre-Lemurians on Wumpa Island as well.

Lifestyle
Cultural tendencies and earliest carbon dated records indicate that the pre-Lemurians had diets supported by hunter gatherer lifestyles, and had little agrarian technology in their tribes. They were culturally distinct in many ways, one of which being their flint tool kit of the period is quite disparate from contemporaries. Pyrotechnology, the expanding capability to control fire, was highly developed by the pre-Lemurians. The earliest proto-pottery was White Ware vessels, made from lime and gray ash, built up around baskets before firing,

Plastered human skulls were reconstructed human skulls that were made in the archipelago in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period. They represent some of the oldest forms of art in the Oceania, and demonstrate that the prehistoric population took great care in burying their ancestors below their homes. The skulls denote some of the earliest sculptural examples of portraiture in the history of art.

Tribes had senses of family ownership, where different family would claim pieces of land which they felt tied to. Villages were often fortified, as war and conflict was extremely common among pre-Lemurian tribes. Available arable and fertile land on the islands was becomingly increasingly scarce, considering the abundance of dangerous wildlife and the fact that tribes had no means of leaving the islands. This created stark competition over resources. There were no inter-tribal alliances and exogamous relationships were not practiced. Society was patriarchal, and slavery was practiced only by war prisoners.

The pre-Lemurians did not practice any kind of paganistic belief.

Rite of Strength
Pre-Lemurians often had to go through a rite of strength to prove themselves to the tribe. The trial was specifically fashioned around the particpants profession, and failure would result in the individual and their family being delegated to a lower rank in the society. If the trial was considered an overwhelming success, participants could even elevate their rank in the tribe. Rites rarely lasted longer than a day.

Government
Tribes were usually led by tribal councils where tribal members could give their say on issues. Anyone could attend council meetings, but only tribal leaders could make decisions. Tribes had police forces of a warrior class which protected the chief.

Genetics
Pre-Pottery Neolithic B fossils that were analysed for ancient DNA were found to carry the Y-DNA (paternal) haplogroups E1b1b (2/7; ~29%), CT (2/7; ~29%), E(xE2,E1a,E1b1a1a1c2c3b1,E1b1b1b1a1,E1b1b1b2b) (1/7; ~14%), T(xT1a1,T1a2a) (1/7; ~14%), and H2 (1/7; ~14%). The CT clade was also observed in a Pre-Pottery Neolithic C specimen (1/1; 100%). Maternally, the rare basal haplogroup N* has been found among skeletal remains belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B, as have the mtDNA clades L3 and K.

DNA analysis has also confirmed ancestral ties between the Pre-Pottery Neolithic culture bearers and the makers of the Epipaleolithic Iberomaurusian culture of Polynesia, the Mesolithic Natufian culture of Australia, with fossils associated with these early cultures all sharing a common genomic component.

Druh

Short. Raven. Brown. Craftsman. Familial. Impressive, kind, intuitive. Cook and butcher. Cortex island. Tribe of 382. Plains, not coastal.

Druh was a pre-Lemurian butcher and hunter who lived with a large tribe in the plains of Cortex Island. Druh was part of a darkened family clan near death, and his family lineage was near extinction due to many unfortunate and untimely deaths. Druh was a skilled hunter, and was known for it among the tribe's peasantry. The tribe's chieftain was ashamed of his son's lack of skills in hunting, requiring large companies to successfully hunt stags. After consulting many hunters to failure, the chieftain eventually went to Druh, and offered him a chance to join his son on his rite of strength. If Druh could succeed in helping the chieftain's son at hunting an elusive beast, namely the Crexil in the mountains, then the chieftain would restore honor to his family name.

The next morning, Druh and the chieftain's son began their trek from the circle of stones up toward the red mountain. During this time, the chieftain's son explained his plan. His plan was to fake his death, in order to escape the oppresion exhibit by his father who constantly forced him to hunt. He wanted revenge, as his father killed his mother after she was caught in an affair with the village's baker. The baker was also exiled, and the chieftain's son believed he had joined another tribe across the island and he wanted to join them there. Druh was to go back to the tribe and tell them that the chieftain's son was eaten by some beast. In the middle of the night, Druh reached the conclusion that he would not do this, and would destroy the chieftain's son instead. The chieftain's son gained wind of this planned treachery, and in the middle of the night drove a spear through Druh's heart, killing him.
