We start our adventure in a tribal village that lives in the branches of one of the tallest trees in the forest.  There are not many more than a dozen of the giant trees.  Their inhabitants call them The Great Trees.  These Great Trees can exceed ten times the size of the average trees around them.  Some of the people living in the Great Trees actually worship their Trees. They claim they are their protectors.

Our starting village is actually a pair of the Great Trees. Most of the Great Trees are far apart sometimes taking days to travel between them. But these are close enough together that a bridge has been built between them hundreds of feet in the air.

This bridge was built using very strong cables found in an ancient ruin beneath the Great Trees.  This ruin was found when the Great Trees roots tore it open. Over the course of a few days there were very loud sounds of big things breaking beneath the ground. When things quieted down a hole in the ground was found that led into the ruin.

The worshippers of The Great Trees ranks swelled.

The ruin seems to have been a medical facility of some sort. They have found numerous types of drugs and one of the villagers got her arm replaced by the machinery. 

The worshippers of The Great Trees ranks swelled.

An Intelligent Jack who Controls Gravity - Feylor

Grew up in the Trees. Has become an entertainer mainly because he enjoys being into the public eye but does not want to be named village leader.

Connection: Was trying to impress a girl and tried lifting the newly found mechanical man but inadvertently dropped it from the Tree.

A Mechanical Nano who Talks to Machines - Natan

Was found in the facility below the Trees.  Is actually a sentient blob of liquid metal that is inhabiting a mechanical humanoid.

Connection: Finds that 'Gravity Man' has a terrible relationship with machines.

A Rugged Glaive who Controls Beasts - Corbin 

Was brought to the Trees by the one trader from the outside world that has been able to visit the Great Trees.  He was originally hired as a bodyguard for a nano that was brought here to study the facility under the Great Trees.  But that foolish nano managed to get himself killed just three days after arriving.

Connection: His animal friends find the mechanical man disturbing.

 A Swift Glaive who Hunts with Great Skill - Alivia

Grew up in the Trees. A very good provider for the tribe. She's fast. She often will run down her prey until it is exhausted making for a safer easier kill. Or she may let a carnivore chase her with the same result.  She recently lost an arm in a bit of a hunting accident. When she was placed on a bed in the ruins the area started working and replaced her arm... with a mechanical one.

Connection: Feylor once saw her seem to specifically kill a carnivore that was about to pounce on a, often referred to as, cute herbivore. The cute herbivore would have been thebetter meal. Alivia fears he may harm her tough reputation by revealing her soft spot.
