==Technology== [[Image:Ta'mirel Hut.png|thumb|left| Ta'mirel Congregation Huts]] They built areas to congregate. They spent their nights staring at the fire speaking of great and humble things. They developed music to entertain and stimulate new ideas. The Ta'mirel developed group discussion, lecture, and constructive debate. Most conversation focused on better ways to stab and ambush. But sometimes they talked of music and art. The Ta'mirel became highly accomplished Scrimshaw craftsmen and leather tanners, making use of the abundant bone, tusk and hide in the icy tundra. The carrion weapons and armor they created were of a higher quality and hardness then the flint and wood items of the south. Armscraft became a pastime of the conclave, done as a form of art while others would play music. One evening a lem used their simple musical tendon string instrument to fling a rock, then another, then a tooth...the invention was shown to other lems, and quickly the group began to study and experiment with different configurations, projectiles, until their musical instrument was weaponized. The Ta'Miril studied the K'lahk stone cutting technology and applied fire tempering to it. This resulted in stronger digging and cutting tools. With the tamed Ramel they began to haul great slabs of stone, reinforcing their dwellings, adding to their simple paths. Amongst themselves, the lem cam to a realization...all of this was just more armor, they needed a bigger spear. During one evening a young frowg used its spoon to fling food directly into the eye hole of a solider-killer Lem's helmet. This made all in attendance laugh. Before long food was dropped and the Lem crowded around the child. They frighten the child to crying before they took the spoon for themselves. They attempt creating great throwing machines. Their lack of understanding of physics hindered their creation. The Lem were crushed by their failures literally. Two were killed, one was maimed badly. Undaunted the Lem press on, turning failure into success. From the failed throwing fork came the loader mechanism, a simple pulley of sinew rope over a smoothed piece of cidex horn. The new pulley device they tried out in the failed tests were examined further. A bowyer, as if struck with lightning, created small versions of the pulleys to be used in bows... after a few broken bows, the bowyer had finally managed to make a Composite Bow using the small pulleys to half the amount of pull exerted by the archer's arm, thus making the bow more powerful. Advanced Projectile Weaponry discovered! The Conclave gathers around a single growing frilla sapling, next to it, a walking stick carved from a frilla branch, still alive. Next to that, a seed (spore?) pod, and finally a piece of frilla bark. rolling to study this new life form. The Lem watched as the Frilla sapling grew larger. The walking stick also continued to grow, but this time to a branch instead of a tree. The seed pod grew into another frilla sapling, while the bark just... stays there. It was a Frog child's toy kite that inspired a Solider-Killer. After a few rough falls the Lem have developed simple gliders. Launching themselves from the top of cliffs and frilla trees the Ta'Mirel have become highly effective scouts. The simple gliders the Ta'Mirel Lem discovered were good for entertainment, and for study, but they required refinement if they were to ever reach any distances, such as the strange island with its city of walls off their coast. The gliders could also be turned to great use for war if one could develop tactics to use the bow from it. The Ta'Mirel were never masterful engineers, The development of the glider progresses slowly, while the concept of shooting a bow or throwing a spear comes fairly naturally. Ranged combat from gliders enabled, but it cost a few Lem lives to figure out how, especially due to their shitty construction. [[Image:Ta'mirel Cannon Glider.png|thumb|right| The Ta'mirel Cannon and Glider]] Grinning, or at least as close of an approximation as a Lem can to a grin the scout jumped off of the frilla tree and aimed into the deep gorge around the village. The glider strapped to him unfolded and went instantly from being a burden on the land, to a gift. Using the momentum of the fall he pulled upwards and giving the pulley system a few tugs managed to gain lift and climb. It was part of scout training, and it was the best day of of the lem's life. On the ground a Soldier-Killer lem looked up at the scouts circling in the sky, it did not envy them. Carrying heavy armor and weapons was hard work, but the effort of constantly controlling and fighting a glider was worse, and with no armor and only a bow. Today though, was a treat, they would be testing out a new weapon. It would only work once, but he was told that was all he needed. Holding it with both claws and pressing firmly into the shoulder, the lem utilized its prehensile head tail to use a smouldering torch to ignite the volatile compounds within this strange tube. A moment later an explosion blasted out the front of the tube, and shrapnel came flying out, faster then anything has ever moved before on this world, only a few pieces hit their mark, the rest peppered the wall around it. After setting down the smoking tube the Lem observed the damage. It was indiscriminate, horrific, and absolute when it hit, and where it hit. His "lips" pulled further back, fully exposing a maw filled with razor sharp teeth. He too, was grinning. [[Image:Ta'mirel K'lahk Weapon Tech.png|thumb|right]] ===Weapon Technology(Ta'mirel)=== 1. Blood Spiller-giant, heavy spear made for outright slaughter. Constructed from horn and bone of a blood spiller Ramel. 2. Ritual spear- All Ta'Mirel build one. It carries images, words, significant thoughts. Every one makes reference to the Tomorrow war. 3.net- thrown on enemies and followed up with stabbing 4. Shard driver- A compound bow that launches arrows made from shards of bone. A flint mechanism on the front of the bow ignites arrows soaked in various oils. 5. Arms and armor, all constructed from Ramel and Cidex hide, bone, plate, and horn. ===Weapon Technology(K'lahk)=== 1. War axe- made from the horn of an immature blood spiller, lighter and more mobile then its lem counterpart. 2. Battle Song- An axe that is made of a hollowed out Cidex spine. the spines processes on back can be plucked at to create music. 3. Hand Axe, made for quick work, wielded in all 4 arms, and throwing. Its a K'Lahk workhorse. 4. Long Axe, an ancestral item from long before the K'Lahk were ever a separate tribe, back to the early days of the Frowg. Still an effective skull crusher its blade more blunt then sharp. 5. GiantLem crusher- A prize taken by the most fearless of Frowgs, the fist weapon of a giant lem. 6. Frowg crossbow, vicious, effective, a derivative of Ta'Mirel technology. fires bolts that are: dormant ragas vine (pretty horrible death, considering the ragas are parasitic and can devour a host in moments.), hardened bone to penetrate armor, flammable bolts, standard, and the horrifying short ranged spear bolt. 7. K'Lahk armor is similar to Ta'Mirel armor but focused more on mobility then enduring blows.
