The Spectra explorers to the far north found interest in this new, growing tribe. They resolve to stay away and observe from a distance. After all, it was the right of the races to determine their own destiny and their own path. They mark this location for future diplomatic relations and for further observation.

A patrol spots new life up north. They fly overhead for a couple of days to get a feel for the type of creatures. Preliminary reports show them to be sentient and relatively peaceful.
Their land is far from the roost but recent volcanic eruptions have made it accessible on foot. Perhaps a Shryke market is to be setup in the vicinity. It's viability still has to be gauged.
A few weeks after the first sighting a diplomatic patrol descends down at the edge of their town. An adjunct, a chaplain and 10 Erienne make the trek through the harsh landscape in an attempt to approach in a non threatening way.
They come with a story of Gaea and other races, they come with a proposal for trade routes, they ask for orderly peaceful conduct in return.

When the Sky Man was first spotted, the Tribe of Eyes was immediately convened. More information and an awareness of the approach of newcomers meant that a delegation was formed.
It would consist of Yrt the Ninth Eye, lowest of the Eyes, a Seed Tribe representative, and a nine-man honor guard. Each guard was of the Blood Tribe; each had taken on a mammoth alone and come out victorious. Their mission was to determine the true nature of the Sky-Men, their purpose, and their origin.
Yrt was not the lowest for a lack of diplomatic skill. Rather, each above him was either a better tactician or was his elder. The mission would meet the Sky-Men at the outskirts of the only Goruk city, Scorch (after its location, the spot where the Holy Goddess created Goruk-kind). It was an unusually trusting move on Yrt's part. The only Goruk population center was, of course, invaluable, and Yrt gave the Sky Men quite valuable intel with the location alone.
The sudden influx of information, and offer of peace, made Yrt suspicious. Goruk politics are riddled with lies; but, ever the oddball, Yrt would agree to a polite peace, and trade.
Please note that I refer to you as Sky Men because the Goruk know nothing of you.
