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.

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
Every Gaian works independently or in groups, having other members check in on their progress. There is no central leader, but any Gaian can earn the respect of their fellow tribesmen and become a leader of sorts.

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.
