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) 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.
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.
