The Tamer's
Deep in the Ouss Range of the The Continent of Nereshi there is a small group of Lizardfolk who call themselves the "tamers." During the great migration of the Eisothh the young adults of the tamers climb the cliffs with ropes and bags. During the day when the Eisothh are sleeping they are more easily snuck around. The young tamers use the bags to sneak the Eisothh eggs to sell to the Ssine. The young tamers then try to carry the eggs down the cliffs without dropping the eggs, waking the Eisothh or falling. Although the Eisothh are herbivores, they are a largely territorial species, and will not hesitate to defend their young.
History
The rite of passage is steeped deeply in history, as the Lizardfolk of the Ouss Range rely heavily on selling the eggs to the Ssine for protection and aid during the floor and hurricane season. Still, instead of assimilating with the majority ethnicity of the continent, the tamers find themselves tied to the ancestral home of their people.
Components and tools
The dangerous ritual is completely with rudimentary tools such as a satchel to carry a single egg and a jungle vine rope to tie it together.
Participants
The young tamers of the northern Lizardfolk tribes, found mostly in around the base of the Ouss Range. During the first weeks of the summer months, the lizardfolk of the Ouss Range watch for the avian species, who slowly make their way across the horizon. A feast is prepared for the young tamers as they prepare to make their lonely trek into the wild jungles of Nereshi. The young tamers but navigate, lead, hunt and find/retrieve the eggs by themselves.
Observance
The timing for this ceremony is bi yearly, during the great migration of the Eisothh. The summer months create dense air in the channel between the Green Isler and the Island of Nereshi. The Eisothh then settle in the cliffs to lay their eggs, which are usually laid and hatched in a mere matter of days.
