# History (Chiridori) # Prehistoric Age Those dwelling in Songoku have become more accustomed to the cold and have become larger and more aquatic. They are more beaverish in appearance and mentality. Root based diet. More traditional values, making a home, raising a family, etc. Much more these are our ways and we’re happy with it. Proximity to rivers makes them more industrious and agriculturally based. Smaller families typically. Those dwelling in Meridon are leaner, more lithe, more nimble, their proximity to the forest is more fruit and vegetable diet. More adventurous and more on wanting to encounter other people a lot more. More mouse, rat, etc. More nomadic and prolific, large families. ------ City for Chirido (Promesa) Founded in the Burrow on Meridon. It’s the fount from which they came. Hope for the future since it’s their safe space despite everything else that has happened to them with the famine. It delivered them to new lands that allowed them to survive. It’s a town of delivered promises. ------ Famine Affects the Chirido people forcing them through the Burrow and move towards the land of the Amethysts. There’s a huge explosion of the insect population in Meridon that causes the available food to shrink. Chiridori Expansion of area on Meridon. Area of expansion goes into Songoku and occupies a few area near the marshes and rivers. ------ The Chirido advance to Developing. Getting incredibly advanced with growing their own food rather than just gathering and foraging. Developing folk lore, music, etc. The Chirido survive. A city is founded in the Amethyst lands at the Burrow. It is called Rescate. # Ancient Age The Chiridori expand throughout Australia. 5 tiles are occupied. A city (???) is founded near the land bridge on Meridon and is very tree housy. Interconnected walkways between all the trees. It’s the foundation for a lot people being able to make their way out into the wider world. ------ Ratsputin Famous lover. Lots of squirrel rat babies all over the place. A extreme version of the idea that you want to make a good intimate conection with everyone. Lots of interplay between the australian Chirido people. He’s a folk legend/hero with an insane amount of Charisma. He’s known in the area surrounding the land bridge and starts going out into the wider world to meet with other people. Intermigals with the Fleurs and there is some crossover between him and those of that civilization. We established that the Fleurs have a 13 people council of leaders. Ratsputin wants to be an emissary to those people and meets with the council. He makes an impression on 6 of the 13 people. He gets with just one and it’s the first rat person. It’s one of the fallen aasmiar and the that person starts a breed of them that have bat wings when they are present. Ratsputin dies. Before dying he whisks away the child and Iris (the fallen aasimar that he had the kid with). The offers protection for them and they build a small settlement in the hills of the plains. They become a larger people group. This creates an gridlock of power in the council and the seat can’t be filled. ------ Joan of Arc: Ratatouille World famous chef. She starts in Japan. She’s a beaver. She has a restaurant that starts the foundation of the restaurant business that helps attract people via tourism to places like it. She disguises herself as a man. Fake mustache. (The group of Chidori on the japanese side have canadian accents) ------ Whoag! Meteor Shower! Rats: Prevents the people from expanding further north in the world for some time as they focus their efforts to rebuild. The Fleurs help with the rebuilding the Chiridori civilization after the meteor strike. The chiridori survive and go to transcendent. # Present Age Expansion of 13 tiles for rat people. Out into the plains north of Meridon. The chidori build a railway through the whole burrow. There is a small city in the middle of the burrow. In the city where the half rat was born and Rasputin died the first university is made. Educating, an archive or all the information they can find, Melany lives there now and has his hands in creating the curriculum. Very welcoming to all people who want to learn. The elves have a vested interest in filling this place with knowledge. Funds form the aasimar pour into this place as well. Joan of Rat: Deed: Success of the restaurant business has created a demand for delivery of food across long distances. A railway system expands from australia to the university. Battle Maidens.
