Gaian Tribe

The Golden Rule: Protect the beauty of the overworld.

The Silver Rule: Give to those who have less.

The Gaians are a nomad tribe founded on a philosophy of selflessness. Most members are pacifists, though the Gaians often get into conflict with city governments for terraforming and squatting.

The Gaians work to find abandoned towns in unclaimed and neglected areas and work over the course of weeks or even months to restore the towns to its perceived "former glory". However, this work may be percieved by hostile nations as extending their reach so as to accumulate power and wealth.

History
After settling in Rathnir, the Gaians squatted in Iabet until they claimed it to use as a base camp for their operations. They have many other base camps hidden around Rathnir.

First Encounters
After seeing the state Iabet was in, they made a promise to restore it to the original architects vision. However Escharia perceived this as squatting even if the Gaians said they would leave afterwards. The Gaians were labelled as criminals and were kill on sight. But when the Escharians arrived they were surprised with the work done and were granted protection under King Zelorm

The Asahiri Incident
On the Gaian's quest to protect the overworld, they incorrectly assumed the ruins of Asahiri was an outbreak of Hellgrowth. The Gaians were about to attempt to restore it, but the ghost of Loic talked them down and showed the Gaians that Asahiri is irreparable.

Matron
The Matron is the leader of the service side of the organization, manages restoration projects and makes sure everyone is on task. Is required to do the same work as a Gaian. The current matron is Oxxy Wayneright.

Equipment
Instead of carrying armor and swords, many experienced Gaians are practitioners of nature magic. While Gaian armor exists, it's very rarely one will see it ever used.

Emerald Sickles are issued to Gaians as a multitool. Used for self-defense, logging and preparing land.

Chlorine Bombs
Invented by Scarlet Cornaro, first made to combat werewolves. Chlorine Bombs are a throwable object that expels a yellow-green gas when shattered. The gas causes pain and forces an enemy to retreat. These days the Gaians use them for bandit repellant.
