[14:32:27] <Naze> "Dont let Malachi hear you say that Seriously," she says amusedly.
[14:33:00] <SNB> Malachi thinks the Striders were the first Tribe?
[14:33:06] <Naze> "He would tell you the Striders were the first kings of the world."
[14:47:19] <SeraWork> "Because we were."
[14:51:18] <Naze> "Now, You might be technically correct Seriously, and they were the first, but who is to say what really happened in antiquity? After thousands of years of Fangs being nominally in charge of 12 of the tribes, as it were."
[14:52:11] <SNB> We have ancestor spirits to consult.
[14:52:16] <SNB> And actual writings.
[14:58:59] <Naze> Ahh, but who wrote the writings?  Just becase it is written does not make it gospel. Or can our ancestors as people not be influenced? Narrators have Agendas too..
[14:59:44] <Naze> I'd like to point out too that I said 12 tribes.. Becasue there were another 4 they had little to no idea existed until a couple hundred years ago. Two of which were wiped out and another 2 forced to capitulate: Conveniently replacing 1 of which fell under their watch, and another that broke away from them past the Himalayas.
[15:03:18] <Naze> Im not saying its not true, and you have to start somewhere otherwise you wind up in nhilistic harano; just consider that the 'Truth' of our mostly oral history is more in subtle shades than we often would like.
