==The Onolkeshan are Betrayed==

The scouts go to the west, across the tundra, their interlocking plate mail makes little noise. They follow the strange flying beasts, past a settlement mixed of frowgmen and other lem. other lem, this was significant, you were not alone. Still further to locate a village mostly composed of lem. They wore heavy armor, and heavier weapons made from the local tundra beasts. It was less of a village and more of an army.

Scouts should return home with the knowledge they have gathered as it is the greatest priority. While scouts are returning one of them get idea to make something that helps remembering the route they used. As Lems have great memory they haven't needed maps before because their kingdom is still small and doesn't have that much remembering, But this whole trek of the continent brings new information and some of it stored too deep to remember. Thus they make a map of mostly landmarks.

The scouts were detected and became spooked. In their mad dash home they had no chance to make a map. The Ta'Mirel deployed a reactionary force. They did not invite any Frowgs. They were prepared to offer an alliance or to declare war.

Lem that approach are greeted well because even though they are outsider they are other Lem as well. Onolkeshan are also very interested in Ta'mirel Flying apparatus. Onolkeshan have no interest in war, they only want to learn more knowledge.

The Ta'Mirel tell the Onolkeshan of their history and culture. In Ta'Mirel culture everyone helps everyone, there is no need of leadership due to the instinctual cooperation. They are also preparing for a war that will come some day. The Ta'Mirel show them, the ancestral memory of the Nightmare Spirit invading their minds, demanding they stand by its side in destroying the world.

If the tribal leaders agree to an alliance they will be incorporated into the Enclave, where they will shall and receive all technology discovered by the individual tribes in the enclave. They will gain protection from the Ta'mirel. In exchange they will be expected to share resources and knowledge, and  prepare for the Tomorrow War. Finally a they must host a small population of other tribes in their territories to promote cultural unity.

Much of the population are exalted with the new knowledge brought by joining the Enclave but there are also many that are worried with letting outsiders in to their cities. To keep the unrest from growing the leaders decided that the other races will have their own districts in the city. That way they are in the city but there is little boundary that keeps the Lem calmer.

With the news of other Lem and joining the Enclave it took no time that there was new law proposed. While Onolkeshan themselves gained great deal of knowledge by sharing genetic memory with Ta'Mirel many are horrified by the possibility how easily Ta'Mirel could "steal" their knowledge. Thus the new law states that if any non Onolkeshan Lem takes genetic memory from Onolkeshan Lem they must either be killed or join Onolkeshan tribe.

While Onolkeshan have no right to decide fates of other Lems they are so obsessed with their knowledge that it blinds them to think that it's their right.

Onolkeshan should not be seen as greedy Lems that only care for themselves. They will gladly trade their products with other tribes for materials and information, but they don't want to just give the knowledge to others. And to make the trade happen they start to build roads to west.

A short while after celebrating their newly gained knowledge by Enclave there were some evil rumors going in the streets. Some spread the rumors how the officials had betrayed the people in joining the Enclave and how the Onolkeshan people would lose all their knowledge. Of course people ridiculed that because as all of them had seen it was Onolkeshan who gained new knowledge.

Time passed and some traders claimed that they had seen similar products being produced in western lands. Of course they also were ridiculed for they were only traders and everybody knows that people who sells news to highest bidder cannot be trusted.

More time passed and people started to find products that were similar to theirs even though they were most of the time inferior quality. This made the people worried. What if the rumors were true? Many started to question the joining of enclave and asked "were we the only ones who gained knowledge?".

Shortwhile after some lower officials brought the contract to the air. The Ta’mirel had forced them to abandon the Law protecting Onolkeshan genetic memory. The people were enraged! How could they betray us? The most important and holy thing to them was given away so easily. Of course the officials had tried their everything to prevent the losing of tech and still safeguard their peoples future but the negotiations didn't go well.

People didn't know this and thus were starting to rebel. Normally the Great Fortress itself would have quelled rebellion with its great walls but with the invention of great cannons breaching it was easier. one night it all started.

The Ta'Mirel moving into Geshud Deler are horrified to see protest and unrest. Armed Ta'mirel Lem soldiers speak to the population:

"You feel betrayed, that you fear a loss of your knowledge to outsiders. Knowledge cannot be lost, if it is shared and used. The speed at which we complete the quest for understanding can be multiplied with our combined numbers. Alone, we learn less, fighting amongst yourselves, you learn nothing.

Know this! you have flourished, and learned a great many things from the Enclave, and the enclave has learned from you as well, we are now kin in this matter. those who seek to hide, and conceal learning from their kin are betrayers of the worst kind, as they promote Ignorance and dismiss the pursuit of understanding in favor of greed, or pride.

Finally, it will never be an argued fact, the best craftsmen come from the Onolkeshan tribe, now we ask you...Accept what has happened, and continue to do what you do best, we need your abilities!"

As the anger of the people didn't come out in the form of rebellion the situation is somewhat getting better. There are still some unrest but with the help of other Enclave forces the people were pacified quickly. Their words helped diffuse the situation for now.
