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.
