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 percieved "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 Marsium 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 Marsium was in, they made a promise to restore it to the original architects vision. However Escharia percived 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 suprised 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.

Leadership
The Gaians are led by a Patron/Matron who oversees and ensures the tribe is on-task and led the proper way. The leader still must perform tasks required by any other member. The current Matron is Mother Adashi Cornaro.

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