Divine Drove
With the divine 'gift' of the Troth of Life found among nomadic humans, the knowledge they gleaned from the primis' relic infused the primitive culture with insights and technology so advanced it seemed like a holy blessing. Within a decade of being discovered by the 'Troth hero', the relic and those who knew how to use it began to gather a spiritual following. Believing that Enfir herself intended for their people to have this knowledge, the Troth hero and her descendants became her de facto mouthpiece, which in-turn developed into a full-scale religion dedicated to following her ethos and honoring the knowledge she wanted to share with them.
As the culture of their clan shifted towards a mentality of 'coexist' rather than 'conquer' they began to see both benefits and drawbacks in their way of life. Up until now, the clan had been entirely nomadic and the hunters provided the clan with what could be foraged or hunted nearby. Initially it seemed like blasphemy to consider Enfirs philosophy of non-violence towards animals and beasts. Their entire livelihood depended on the meat provided by their hunters but the Troth hero and those who held the troth after her all endeavored to make it a possibility.
One of the first things she tried to build using concepts from the troth was to design shallow, mobile crates that could be used to grow small crops. The successes of the Troth hero were quickly noticed by the other clan members and further divided the opinions of whether she should be permitted to carry on. Some felt the relic itself was an ill portent, a false path to glory promised by a scratchy voice on ancient trash but time proved them wrong. As others stepped forward to help the Troth Hero adapt their practices to the philosophical framework Enfir describes by using and spreading the knowledge on the relic.
