Blood SacrificeBloodfeeders. Corpse-like and with a hunger for blood, they haunt the groves we settled generations prior. They tore us apart with their superior strength and fury. Desperate, we called for help, and while some did answer the call, it was and is a long struggle. To overcome the odds, we had to make a decision: sacrifice. By having individual volunteers lead away Bloodfeeders from our tribes, we gain more time to prepare and for help to arrive. To this day, none of our sacrifices have ever come back.

Tears of BloodThe Weeping Mother. She has nurtured the dead since time began, caring for them and allowing them a place to rest by her side. She weeps for every soul lost, for every tribesman ripped apart by the Bloodfeeders, for every child that disappears to every elder that collapses by age. All of them, she weeps for, with tears of blood.

Sea FolkDark days are upon us again. For years these settlers have encroached upon our lands, and for years we had fought against them. That all changed, however, with the advent of the Sea-folk. Ruthless and cunning, they have managed to brutalize us and push our tribe far inland, away from being able to clearly see our rising sun. We must learn their ways of warfare, and quickly too, for the inner Bloodgroves are dark and full of terrors. Perhaps these settlers that were pushed inwards alongside us, these ‘Sornicandi’ are able to teach us how to fight back…

Sella IrrigationThe lands of the Bloodgroves are not only rich in blood but also soil, as any plant grown in one of the groves can show! For ages the Kwineh have furrowed the land to help these plants grow, but we have been limited by our imprecise methods and the roots of our sacred Blood Trees. With the tools bought from these ‘Cannorians’ we can locate and bypass the Blood Trees' roots and dig larger channels: this has allowed us to produce crops at a splendid level!

Festival of Imar'elOn the darkest day each year, we set forth to bury our most prized possessions among the Weeping Trees, so that Imar’el, the first volunteer who sacrificed her blood to the Bloodfeeders, and those that came after her will not want of anything in death.

Hiagoimakith'siHiagoimakith'si means "Weeping Mother's Acorn". When one of our tribesmen are about to go out, either for adventure or for death, they are given an acorn from a Weeping Tree. This is to make sure, that even in death, the Weeping Mother shall be with them.

Wri DishentiA tale from late 1710 AA, named Wri Dishenti or "Death from Wood", talks about a group of Lorentish settlers looking to cut open the Weeping Trees. After all, instead of slowly harvesting the blood-red sap to use it as a dye, why not cut it open and take it all, and along with it the wood which could be sold for a fair price back in Cannor? And so they cut down the trees, uncaring of the Weeping Mother. No-one knows what happened to them afterwards, or the rest of the colony. Yet rumors have been told of Bloodfeeders in the area ever since, even though it has been centuries since their supposed death.
