Eldham Naturalism

Eldham Naturalism also known as Eldham Primitivism is a working title as more research is carried out. This is a militant Primitivist cult that opposses any civilized society within Eldham, first discovered in the southwestern region of Eldham known as Sudvorrnim.

Lore:
According to the ancient history of this Primitive Religion, the original inhabitants of Eldham were Breathed onto the Earth" by the God of the Hunt Fohset and called upon them to live deep in the forest and live alongside the animals. After millennia of this type of life a minority of them decided to leave the forest and create villages in open areas of Eldham. These people became known as the "staked" as they staked their claim for homes alongside one another away from where their God told them they belonged. Though the Staked were seen as heretics or unfaithful by their forest dwelling counterparts relations were peaceful between them for centuries to come.

However, as the Staked began advancing technologically making more comfortable houses, having sustainable food year round and making efficient tools, the Forest Dwellers began to covet these commodities that the Staked had made for themselves, the Forest Dwellers began raiding and pillaging the small villages they could find, killing them and stealing all useable materials they could find. The Staked became accustom to this new reality quickly, the Staked managed to fend off most raids by the Forest Dwellers while the Forest Dwellers provided a constant threat to anyone attempting to gather lumber or materials away from their village.

Recently in the past several decades the sightings of these Forest Dwellers have ceased. Only the oldest of Staked can recall a sighting of Forest Dwellers skulking deep in the woods, though the still insist that they have not disappeared.
