story of the Cuakax JUNGLE    

Too many years to count, and most texts of the time have been lost to history, even in the Cuakax jungle. However, It is commonly known amongst reptarrans that an old landing dock situated to the western coast had been built by travelers and the two clans a long time ago.

Unfortunately, when THE oBSIDIAN sMOG DESCENDED, THE rEPTARRANS WERE CUT OFF FROM THE lANDING dOCK. much to the Reptarran's chagrin, this means that they have been unable to ensure its upkeep, as they have for generations. Unfortunately, this also means that much of their old records of travelers to and from Kinohtala has been lost.

The Ariduff's LUUNSTONE is a bright violet orb that is used not only as a sacred object for ceremonies, but has been the main source of power in the Ariduff Clan's city for generations. 

Luun is the name of the aether when studied and utilized by the Ariduff clan. Luun is said to come from the earth itself, manifesting as Luun Crystals that can be found in the Jool Mine. They are small shards of clear quartz with a bright, violet light that swirls and sparkles inside. To the aerconi of Arcanus, they would be similar to fire gems.

The Reptarrans are not inherently magical. Instead, they are skilled in infusing Luun crystal energy into the objects they create via runes and Luun Channels. (Luun Channels are slots carved into stone where a crystal is inserted to “power” the object.) 

Using this methodology, the Reptarrans have created multitudes of inventions. Including but not limited to:

• street lights that illuminate the paths

• moving stone creatures for plowing in the fields or traveling in the jungle

• city defenses including intricate boobytraps)

• Means of communication through the tether rune

• Some weapons (see: special equipment, below.)

Smaller luunstones, known as luun crystals, are gifted to each Reptarran child when that child reaches the age of maturity (16). they are given a Luun Crystal Pendant, imbued with the same energy that is used to power their technology, and welcomed into the clan with a grand ‘coming-of-age’ ceremony.

tHE kEEPERS ARE ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY INFUSED WITH SOL AND luUn, respectively. For the rEPTARRANS the earth-Keepers were built and infused with lUUN cRYSTALS, and take the shape of JAGUARS, EELS, and LEMURS. They are intricately carved with REPTARRAN designs THAT TYPICALLY GLOW VIOLET WHEN POWERED. tHIS GLOW INCLUDES PROPULSION RUNES, AND PIERCE runes WHICH ARE CARVED INTO THE CONSTRUCT IN ORDER TO TRAVERSE THE JUNGLE WITH EASE

dESPITE BEING MADE OF STONE AND METAL, THE kEEPERS MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE UNDERGROWTH, MAKING THEM DIFFICULT TO ATTACK. 

ohui are corrupted keepers, whose VIOLET light has been replaced by a blue-white glow. This blue-white light radiates from inside of the keeper's body, and techNic ticks can be seen swarming inside the Ohui's stone platings. tHEY MOVE ERRATICALLY, AS THOUGH JERKING AROUND ON STRINGS.

oHUI attack anything they perceive as a trespasser OR A threat, keeping the reptarrans trapped in their city walls as they prowl INSIDE the Obsidian Smog.

To defeat AN EARTH OHUI, one would need to damage each of the three power channels on the constructs body. On each type of construct there is one power channel on the head, one on the CHEST, and THE THIRD on the lower back.

Some equipment, including utility items, weapons, and rune upgrades, can be bought in the Caukax Jungle. These items can be found at the @aevummarket blog for purchase with emblems, unless otherwise stated by Event Vouchers.
