[center][b][u]Snow Brutes[/u] Era of Dud's Great Tribe Population: 300[/b] The preparations are set. Two groups of 15 Warriors, 8 hunters, and 4 tool makers (for repairs) were selected and prepared to venture out into the unknown. In the past, before the Great Tribe, there had been talks of exploring out into the endless white, but war had quickly put those thoughts into the back of any Snow Brute's mind. But now, the Brutes will find what lays in and beyond the white expanse. Dud gathered the exploration parties together for parting words. "Fellow Snow Brutes, today you create new glory for our race! You go out, seek new hunts, tribes, and land! You will return here in 60 sun cycles with information about what you have found. You will carry extra weapons and hides for trading or gifts once you find other tribes. Good luck." Each Brute nods their head. Their mission is understood. The two groups headed out, one to the south, one to the east. The southern group would travel along the coast so that they could easily find their way back. The eastern group would follow a frozen over river, called "Huu", for the same purpose. [/center]
