ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

So yeah I have time to write stuff :)

Completely redoing the Tribe of Shadows because reasons and also the plot was horrifyingly bad and also half-inspired by my older cousin

The Tribe of Shadows (Remake Because Reasons)

New Lore:

This redux of ToS takes place on a rogue Ark somewhat further from the sun than the normal ones. Its map is split into five regions:

Kelrossa, a large, mountainous, spruce-covered island covered with ruins from old civilizations, most notably a blackstone city carved into a crater, and multiple forts. The people of Kelrossa are quite advanced, due to easy access to gunpowder and metals. It is rumored that the Kerenalt Federation even has access to Holy Tek. One of the great Pillars, this one blue, is found on Keleossa. The Kerenalt Federation deploys Yutyrannus and Dire Wolves as their cavalry.

Asretorr, a roughly central plains region with multiple feuding tribes locked in wars of attrition who trade for supplies from the Kelrossites to fuel their armies. The Kelrossites get valuable grain and meat that they struggle to grow in their harsh climate, the Asretorri get gunpowder and metal for weaponry. The Asertorr’s preferred mounts are Equus and Raptors.

Iortor, a swamp taking up most of the west of the island, filled with horrendous creatures. There are rumors of beasts that speak like men. They are not confirmed, but Overseer save you if you hear a voice in the night. The Iortormen are a superstitious, scavenging folk, other than those of Clan Torvett, who reject all superstition and even the Overseer. The Iortormen favor Baryonyx and Pteranadons.

Teyra, a harsh cold-desert to the far south, split from Iortor by a chain of mountains. It is inhabited by wyverns and other strange beasts, and is home to one of the great Pillars, this one a stark red. The Teyrans are nomads, often raiders, and favor the Allosaurus as a mount, though it varies by clan and tribe. Teyra, alongside its wyverns, is home to the largest known stockpile of Holy Tek, near the Isle of Jadyr. The Jadyrwa are fiercely protective of their Tek, and advanced enough to hold off most attacks. The favored beasts of the Jadyrwa are Equus and Gallimimus.

Shynarm, a thick, partially snowy forest home to the great Pillar that shines an emerald green, full of incredibly strange beasts touched by The Element. The Shynarmmen are quite cultlike, worshipping Rockwell as a saint and hero. Their favored mounts are Rock Drakes and Iguanadons. The Shynarmmen are primitive, but excellent huntsmen and trackers.
