Sea Wolves of Ardent

jura was born into a simple, though beautiful, culture. as his mother had told him, they were aware of a divine presence whom they called yocahu, and to worship and give thanks was a major part of their lives. they had a social order that provided the leaders and guidelines by which they all lived. they hunted, fished, cultivated crops and ate the abundant fruits provided by nature. they were clever and ingenious and had everything they needed to survive. they had beautiful ceremonies that were held at various times - birth, death, marriage, harvest, naming and coming of age, to name a few. they had special reverence for the earth mother (atabey) and had respect for all living things knowing that all living things are connected. but his mother said another divine, which she had named guabancex, brought chaos unto their people. their ancestors fled on the waves of haracans (hurricanes) and found new tribes and homes. their family had arrived on ardent only a few generations ago, but instead of banding together they found that they rather enjoyed living their lives as vagrants. single couples would breed and raise their young alone, teaching them to fish and live land off of the sea until they reached of age. as such, when jura turned a year old, he was given a ceremony of his own and told to begin his life's journey.
