Edenhorde.
Chapter two - Episode eight
After a daring escape, can Devarn warn everyone in time?
The world of Edenhorde is vast.
Welcome to a world in web3 that you can be a part of. Edenhorde is a collective worldbuilding and intellectual property project from Merit Circle that started out in the form of 8,800 non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Edenhorde aims to be the first “media mix” (メディアミックス) franchise in the web3 space, building from a foundation of the initial episodic narrative arc. Later followed by a second narrative arc and the strategy card game Eclipse of Edenhorde, giving the world of Edenhorde a whole new dimension.
Home to four distinct tribes.
Edenhorde is a great continent bounded by seas and desert. Edenhorde is home to four tribes: Larriks, a humanoid nomadic tribe of hunters and craftsmen; Gadrians, reptile-like residents of Edenhorde's charter city: Gadira; Babbumatta, a peaceful plant people living in the forests of Edenhorde; and the Oru, a mysterious race of ancient robots whose spiritual home is centered deep within the enigmatic Mount Puntu.
Larriks
(lah-riCk-s)
Population
2,640
A humanoid people scattered across Edenhorde.
Traditionally a roaming people, Larriks using the myriad waterways of Edenhorde to practice a travelling existence based on foraging, hunting for food, and collecting remnants of an earlier, ancient civilization which they cleverly repurpose. ‘Only a fool buys what he can find’.
GADIRANS
(gah-dIr-ans)
Population
2,464
A reptile like group who live in the walled city of Gadira.
An independent city state, Gadira is located just off the mainland, and is accessible only by a thin strip of land. Gadirans draw most of their wealth from the sea, collecting goods for sale, both organic treasures such as pearls, and goods from the Old World. Their potential is limited by the infighting of their ruling class. ‘Power has value, but it does not feed a family’.
BABBUMATTA
(ba-bu-mA-ta)
Population
2,816
A peaceful tribe who resemble the plants they live amongst.
The Babbumatta consume only fresh water and use photosynthesis for sustenance. Of all the residents of Edenhorde, only the Babbumatta can grow successfully and in abundance, and they delight in cultivating new species of plants and flowers. They also have mastery over what we might term “magic”. ‘From the earth we rise, to it we wither’.
ORU
(O-ru)
Population
880
A strange monastic tribe of robots.
Not much is known about the origins of the Oru. Their metal bodies mean that they can traverse the inhospitable terrain with ease, and they are a frequent sight across the realm. The Oru attend all births and deaths in Edenhorde. The home of the Oru is at the top of Mount Puntu. ‘Celebrate their gift, fear their strength’.
