Technologies

The Nari
Hunting/Food

With the scarcity of food before The Plenty, better hunting technology was a necessity. Advances came quickly while still being very primitive. From hunting fish from shore with sticks, and climbing into bird nests for eggs, to the advent of primitive boats and rock tipped spears, the Nari's technologies were crude yet effective. After the plenty the advance of those technologies stood essentially still, however new tools for different jobs were discovered. With the addition of new plants by the Gods, the first ropes were created by weaving plant fibres. This revolutionized both the fishing and bird hunting fields with the dawn of nets. New technology with the addtion of more food meant sustinence was a much smaller concern, leading to greater advancement in other areas.

The Huir
Hunting/Food

Before The Plenty the Huir were using crude hunting tools mostly rocks and large branches to kill their quarry. They were effective ambush hunters however and soon were looking at a desperate lack of food. This created many hunting ground battles between families, and resulted in a decline in population, and the extermination of whole families. After The Plenty however, much of the tension began to ease, but not completely disappear. This resulted in an explosion of new technology, not meant for just hunting prey animals, but for killing other Huir.

Weaponry

Because of the tensions created during the times before the plenty, many grudges and rivalries emerged from the Huir, and with the tradtions of one-on-one combat still honored, much effort went into the training and arming of a families eldest male. This resulted in a large advancement in technology that also spilled over into the realm of hunting and gathering. The large bones from the prey animal NAME were used as shields, and hides traditionally used for clothing were turned into armor with the comination of these large plate bones and the advent of the rope. These inventions also sparked creation of more deadly killing tools, such as hewn-rock axes, and large boulder-toting branches, used as warhammers. The warhammer was particulary effective against bone armor and shields, and was the favored weapon of the warrior Huir.
