Aight, now it’s time to actually…y’know, write ToS.

THE TRIBE OF SHADOWS:

PROLOGUE, PART ONE:

Dilath Solan, of an independent Asretorri village known as Wynock, wandered along the banks of the River Thal, bow in hand. He was roughly two miles from Wynock, but could smell cooked Saberfish and Stegosaurus even from here. He was searching for a Dilophosaurus to bring back, to bring back its scales and venom. His breath slowed as he reached for an arrow from the quiver at his belt, his bow creaking slightly as he nocked it. Dilath stepped forward, hearing a soft, distinctive hiss as he did so. He drew the string back and shot, a thrum cutting through the air, and then a thud as a sharp stone arrowhead pierced a Dilophosaur’s neck, dropping it in a single shot. Dilath grabbed the dead beast’s neck, sliding the bone hunting knife from a loop in his belt and roughly stabbing the Dilophosaur in the chest, dragging the knife down and cutting out its organs before cutting off its scales in long, wide strips. He slit off the goat-sized animal’s crests, putting them, and a few lines of scales, in the pouch on his belt. Dilath then cut out some of the better-tasting meat from the Dilophosaur’s spine, putting it in a larger pouch.

And then he smelled the smoke.

Not cooking-fire smoke.

Charred wood and…flesh.

He bolted back to his village as fast as possible, sliding his bow onto his shoulder, his legs starting to burn after the first mild and a half. He heard gunfire, now. Bursts of light from Holy Tek rifles, the heavy thuds of Longneck rifles and cracks of double-barrels. As he came closer, the thud of boots.

Wynock was ablaze. Dilath heard screams.

And then he didn’t. That was worse, so much worse. He ducked into an area full of dense trees, every part of him shaking. The rip of Tek guns, the roar of a flamethrower, so much smoke. Charred stone. Burnt wood. Scorched flesh.

Dilath did the only reasonable thing, at least by his standards.

He ran like mad.

Ran, into the woods, the dark woods.

Ran, from the fire, the scorching fire.

More Tribe of Shadows lore. Took me about half an hour to think this stuff up.

ABERRATIONS:

Ferus has all the beasts of many Arks. In other words, quite a few, namely Tyrants (Tyrannosaurs and Carchardodontosaurus), Butchers (Allosaurus and Carnotaurus), Trade-beasts, (Galliminus and Paralophasaurus), Winged Horrors (Wyverns and Argentavis), and more than a few others.

But there are also Aberrations.

Aberrations are creations wildly mutated by Element, primarily found in the lost city of Dorban, where the rivers glow at night. One major form of Aberration are the Basilium, a believed-sapient, tool-using race who DESPISE humanity, having raided many cities across Ferus, always retreating back to…wherever they live, it is currently unknown. Their frames are somewhat reptilian in appearance, specifically rather similar to bipedal Managarmr, though with no integration of Holy Tek into their bodies, and they are roughly 9 feet tall with rather jagged crests curving back from their heads. The Basilium wield primitive spears tipped with stolen iron or bronze, or even the teeth of beasts, and extremely simplistic bows merely made of debarked, curved sticks and pieces of stretched Tyrant tendon, though, due to the bows’ size, they are still quite powerful. The Basilium are known to be pursuit predators, or at least assumed to be due to their physiology. Another breed of Aberration is the Teyran Hellrunner, a strange mix of the Allosaurus and Deinonychus, inheriting the ferociousness, strength, and general frame of the first, and the intelligence, large group behavior, and feathering of the latter. Yet another is the Northern Crownstalker, an unnatural combination of the Rock Drake and Yutyrannus. They retain the ground-based mobility and thick feathering of the Yutyrannus, and its commanding nature, while keeping the Rock Drake’s natural stealth and adaptability. The Crownstalkers viciously hunt Basilium, whose common name translates to Crowns, and this earns them the name.

Like half of ToS was written by my older cousin. In other words he wrote all the edgy stuff that I kinda wish I could delete. Shame.

So yeah. I will be retaining the original chapter/prologus and LITERALLY nothing else.

-Ranger

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.

Compy's mysteries

By the chicken nugget council

This story takes place across all ARKS and these stories are in alphabetical order so next one is in allo section

Wake up... Wake up... she felt like somebody was knocking on the walls of her mind. everything faded into red. BlueTalon jolted awake .one of those dreams again, she thought bitterly. On the horizon, the sun was rising. BlueTalon looked over at her best, most weak friends. Firefly, her loyal bulbdog was sleeping beside her. Somewhere nearby would be an old raptor named moontail, she took care of BlueTalon and Firefly. Somewhere far away was her traitorous compy pack.

She walked in the forest hoping to get in a stroll before everyone woke up. MoonTail snuck up behined her and stood there until the small compy noticed her.

"Hello, young compy, I have met a charming Achatina who will lead you to palm mountain. Only because I have decided that you will find the pack that took care of you before the other pack took you in. The wise raptor said slowly. "I dont need them, only you and firefly" replied BlueTalon. Firefly bounded up behined to join them.

The rest of the morning they walked with the pre historic snail, when they came to a stop at a water fall. However not before an allosaurus snached the achatina in his jaws and cornered them.

It was short, maybe the allo one will be longer

Journey Through All Creatures

Chapter 1: Swamp Snail

This is the official remake of Journey Through All Creatures’ first chapter.

Original Post Date: Oct. 5, 2024

Note, story starts in Achatina, The Island ABC order for Section I and has a Prologue. Prologue is in the same section as this. Next chapter in Allosaurus.

It was late into the afternoon. The sun had begun drifting to the west horizon. Just north of the swamp was a small, 2 by 2 thatch hut with a bed and storage box inside. All that lay outside was a campfire. It was far from the deep and thick jungle, close to the ocean shore. Then the door swung open. A survivor walked out of it, holding a bola and a club. The survivor walked south towards the swamp, looking around the area.

“Okay.. first creature on my list should be around here somewhere…” The survivor said. He continued walking until he reached the swamp waters, the thick and low-hanging trees, and multiple snakes and dilos. Then there it was: The Achatina. The first of many creatures that Sodden would need to kill on his journey. Sodden then crept up behind a snail slowly sliding towards the water. He threw a bola at it and then beat it repeatedly with his club. Then he heard quiet hissing behind him and turned around quickly. He shouted as he saw a snake going towards him. He then slammed his club into the snake’s head and shot it down with a bow. Then he turned back to the snail, who was hiding in the shell. He beat it over and over until the snail fell unconscious, then he shot it down with the bow. Sodden nodded and turned back around to return to his base.

—-------------------------

I hope you enjoyed this remake. It’d be good to give this more points than the original, just so it’s easier to find it, especially considering how much Achatina is used. Anyway, that’s all.
