[Suggested] Pre Cataclysm Ga'Vin Notes

These notes were pulled from the CARPS Wiki

There are three major Ga’Vin philosophies. The members of each philosophy are fiercely loyal to each other, but not amongst the other groups.

The first group is the extremist faction, or “Firewalkers”. These aggressive Ga’Vin are fed up with the way other races have abused them and, more importantly, the planet itself. They feel that they are the true survivors of the world, welcoming hardship and pain so they may prove themselves worthy of the name Ga’Vin. Firewalkers kick their children out of the community at a young age, leaving them to fend for themselves. The children must then prove their worth by surviving on their own until adulthood—only then are they able to return to their home. But the worst is not yet over. What remains for them is the Trial of Fire, a gruesome event that requires them to stand within a massive bonfire for as long as possible. The longer they endure the flames, the higher their rank within Firewalker society will be.

The second group is a newer faction. They focus on seeking forgiveness and healing the wounds the past has given them. They often exist on the fringes of human society as loyal servants, skilled laborers, and able craftsmen.

The third faction is the oldest and lays claim to the most adherents. They feel that Ga’Vin should continue doing the maintenance for the world in whatever way they can. They have the equivalent of small villages all over the world, preferring uncivilized areas like the Darkwood. They feel that the other races have earned just as much right to the world as they have.
