Gavo

The [History] of Gavo

The original race native to Gallan, the Gavo were the first to call Kokoata home. Their settlements, villages and homesteads are all tucked away far across the lands, with some more accessible to adventurous traders and others more quietly hidden away, deep in the underbrush...

Gavo have been at the forefront of trading for an age and a day; offering a vast amounts of pelts, bone, and strong hearty meats from one clan to another. Their pathways & trails became named, well-known, and before very long, expanded into newer territories, including deep south into the Vi-dan jungle, and across the massive Evolhiems' river. Forging a fast friendship, they immediately began trading with Hoi, Humans, and eventually (after the initial clash), the Aedrachen.

As Humans became known, moving from the Southern Ocean, up towards the Northern half of Gallan, the Gavo established trading routes became grounds for excessive caravans and large gatherings for trading to happen between races. As the roads became congested, the Gavo offered to help the people to establish their own territory (and out of the way)- in exchange, they'd ask for a helping hand with fending off Aedrach ambushing their traders & adventuring parties in the Jungle.

Over time, as the races grew in size and their trade-ship bonds grew, Half-breed numbers (later self-proclaimed as Hymun) became a larger part of their settlements, and a great game of 'Prove-your-strength' gained traction. The less-thans' often fought with every ounce of their will-power to prove their physical strength (often visibly dampened by the Human genes), and to offer as much as any Gavo to the rest of their clan. Hymun eventually became voyagers on the behalf of Gavo, proclaiming many new areas of settlements & resource-gathering in favor of their families and clan.

Following the half-beaten trails hand-made by their hybrid offspring, the Gavo met the Hoi at Evolhiems' River; their goodhearted nature opened up trading prospects along the conjoined territories, and though the races met rarely, the offered resources, items, and crafts in trades are always of fine quality. With most trades done through the backwoods, the Gavo saw few signs of their friends trafficking; up until Humans' and their friends began showing up to trades with more than a handful of pearlescent scales, fins, and horn. After coming to the same conclusion with their Hymun sons and daughters, the Gavo pushed for the cease and desist of their water-born cousins slaughter. They stepped forward again when the Youshi became known as being sentient, helping Hymun, Aedrachen, and Hoi all push for the freedom and safety of all sentient beings.

Gavo helped to found the Grand City Thera, and with their influence, guarantee the city keeps to the guidelines that allow it to be a safe spaces for other sentient races to thrive in. They make up most of the Council, Shop keepers, and most take up seats within the Guildhouse.

Gavo [Resources]
__________________________________________________________

A woodlands-based race, Gavo rely on the resources in and around their homestead from all areas of the ecosystem. They value the tools that make life a little bit easier, such as a fine-quality meat-knife or a well-made canvas sack for transporting berries of all kinds.
