Editing Plain’s Eye Tribe

The '''Plain’s Eye Tribe''' is one of the largest [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] tribes in [[Izril]]. Following the events of the [[Meeting of the Tribes]], the tribe was dissolved.

== Overview ==
One of the vastest tribes with many smaller or related clans.<ref name=":1">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/17/8-02/ Chapter 8.02]</ref> It is specialized in shamanism. They also provide alchemical ingredients.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/13/8-30/ Chapter 8.30]</ref> They trade the most of any tribe with the [[Walled Cities]] and are well-respected.<ref name=":7.32 D">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/05/7-32-d/ Chapter 7.32 D]</ref>

The tribe is very old, as it existed when a large portion of Izril was ruled by [[Harpies]], and the tribe used to trade with them.<ref name=":7.35 C">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/15/7-35-c/ Chapter 7.35 C]</ref>

The remaining members of the tribe all have white fur, due to Ulcreziek's deal with [[Belavierr]] to save his remaining tribe members.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-85/ Chapter 8.85]</ref> They are now despised by other Plains Gnolls, although not due to their fur color.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/06/03/9-00/ Chapter 9.00]</ref>

== Background ==
The Plain's Eye tribe was founded by Kishkeria, the [Archmage of the Eternal Grasslands]. While they originally resided in [[Chandrar]], they eventually left and settled in Izril.<ref name=":0" />

After the fall of the Gnoll Kingdom, the Plain's Eye Tribe held [[Doombearers]] responsible and swore to hunt them down. They appointed themselves custodians of their luck-manipulating powers and created a Daemon of Luck from the souls of the Doombearers they killed, bound to their Chieftain to use their luck power as they saw fit. They then proceeded to spread falsehoods and propaganda about Doombearers, making it seem like they were responsible for the destruction of tribes rather than being the survivors of such tragedies, and started calling them Doombringers. They would push that narrative and erase proofs to the contrary, including destroying a Gnoll library.

The leaders of Plain's Eye conspired with [[Fissival]], burying several huge magicore crystals from their teleportation network under the location of the Meeting of the Tribes to suppress Gnollish capabilities in arcane magic. The tribe received yearly payments from Fissival for this.<ref name=":7" />

== Chronology ==

=== Volume 7 ===
At [[Geneva Scala|Geneva’s]] request, one of the Minds' Selphid representative contacted the tribe in order to have them help find Penicillin Mould, which they agreed to look for, as if any group could find it, or have records of a substance like that, they would. This would eventually no longer be required as the Penicillin Mould and actual Penicillin would be discovered from [[Erin Solstice|someone else]] later that day.<ref name=":7.32 D" />

4 White Gnolls that go by the alias of Coinpurse ([[Alrric Kerrfa|Alrric]]), Spellcaster (Casklal), Wanderer ([[Wer]]) and Shadows met and discussed how to kidnap [[Mrsha]] for her own protection. Other tribes, including the Plain’s Eye Tribe, sent a hunting group after her for being a White Gnoll/Doombringer.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/08/7-33-i/ Chapter 7.33 I]</ref>

_

More than a year or so ago, the Gnoll Tribes had each sent a number of their representatives to honor the Pact of Rhir. [[Merish]] of the Plain’s Eye Tribe was appointed as their Chief Warrior by the others to follow his orders.

Under the orders of Bastion-General [[Quiteil]], the Gnoll Tribes and Izrilian Drake division would reluctantly join together,<ref name=":7.34 C">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/12/7-34-c/ Chapter 7.34 C]</ref> and while there was some difficulty in working together, especially during the Serpent-Titan attack on 5th Wall and their joint-command drills, thanks to [[Cirille Bitterclaw|Cirille]] finally understanding how difficult it was for Merish to manage all the different tribes together, she mixed each other commands until they were all able to work effectively together. Merish, his tribe and some of the other tribes would also later benefit from Cirille's [Synergy: Gnoll-Drake Command], which gave them Oldblood Elemental Breath Attacks.<ref name=":7.35 C" />

During the second Demon attack on 5th Wall by the [[Deathless]] [[Silvenia]], the Gnoll Tribes and all the other irregular divisions, would fight all together against the Phantoms Summoned Demons and the real ones, until Lord [[Hayvon Operland|Hayvon]] came and forced the Demons to retreat. While Merish survived the battle, the Plain’s Eye Tribe, like the others, sustained heavy casualties.

It is presumed that thanks to Lord Hayvon's [The Pride of the Fallen] Skill, that just like the other fallen, the Ghosts of the deceased tribe members went back to the Plain’s Eye Tribe home to say their goodbyes.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/07/19/7-36-c/ Chapter 7.36 C]</ref>

At the time when all the Gnoll Tribes were converging for the Meeting of Tribes, Chieftains [[Eska]] and [[Orelighn]] discussed about some of the other Tribes, they mentioned that due to the [[Silverfang Tribe]] still waiting for the thousands members they sent to Liscor, they have yet to declare they formally arrived—which upset the Plain’s Eye Tribe who wanted to settle them.

A day later, a [[Ulcreziek|Shaman]] from the Plain’s Eye Tribe showed their Tribe [[Xherw|Chieftain]] a scrying orb recording of the [[Players of Celum]] singing performance in an [[The Wandering Inn|inn]], in which a [[Mrsha|little Gnoll with white fur]] is present. Upon confirming this, the Tribe Chieftain ordered a group to kill the young Doombringer.

At the same time, First Warrior Merish, followed by [[Viri]], returned to his tribe and home.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/11/25/interlude-the-tribes-of-izril/ Interlude – The Tribes of Izril]</ref>

=== Volume 8 ===
At the Meeting of the Tribes, Plain's Eye was forming a map of all the tribes, and tribes were presenting themselves to them for that reason. It was a sign of how powerful they had become.<ref name=":1" /> When [[Ferkr Shallenside|Ferkr]] arrived, members of Plain's Eye intercepted her and took her away.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/24/8-10/ Chapter 8.10]</ref> They forced a false confession from her that she was lying about being a [Mage], and used an enchantment to prevent her speaking the truth.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/19/8-42/ Chapter 8.42]</ref>

Meanwhile, the Doomslayers had arrived at Liscor to kill Mrsha. Wer was already there and warned the Inn's occupants about them.<ref name=":3" /> They tried destroying the Inn with a rain of arrows, but the building was too tough and they only managed to put holes in the third floor. In the following confrontation involving Belavierr, the Inn's defenders, summoned monsters, and Hectval's army, the Doomslayers all perished.<ref name=":8.28" />

_

Following that event, Merish would be put in charge of a new squad of Doomslayers, made up of fellow veterans of Rhir, and sent out to hunt the Doombringers.<ref name=":4" /> [[Yelroan]] would figure out Mrsha and Wer's next location so they could catch them.<ref name=":5">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/22/8-38-h/ Chapter 8.38 H]</ref> The Doomslayers would catch them, but Mrsha would be rescued by [[Tesy|Sellme]] and the [[Vetn|Thief of Clouds]].<ref name=":2" />

[[Iraz Steelfur|Iraz]] met with Xherw and told him about the Humans from [[Earthers|Earth]] before it was brought up at the Meeting of Chieftains.<ref name=":5" />At the meeting, when the [[Silverfang Tribe]] brought the spellbook as their great gift, Plain's Eye's leaders denied that Gnolls could be [Mages]. When Ferkr presented herself and the magicore crystal was unearthed and destroyed, Xherw and Ulcreziek seemed displeased.<ref name=":2" />

Mrsha arrived at the Meeting of the Tribes, and only just avoided being spotted by Xherw and Ulcreziek.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/10/27/8-49-m-revised/ Chapter 8.49 M - Revised]</ref>

Suspecting that there was a Doombringer at the Meeting of the Tribes, Xherw tasked Yelroan with finding them, and to investigate [[Qwera]] specifically. Yelroan would find two, but he started to question if the tales about them are true, and did not inform anyone of what he discovered.<ref name=":8">[https://wanderinginn.com/interlude-satar-revised/ Interlude - Satar (Revised)]</ref>Meanwhile, the Doomslayers fell for [[Niers Astoragon|Niers']] trap and were attacked by the [[Fellowship of the Inn]], the Lomost Tribe, and the [[Ghostly Hand Tribe|Ghostly Hand]] [[Goblins|Goblin]] tribe. Some escaped, but had to return to the tribe empty-handed.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/30/8-65/ Chapter 8.65]</ref>

Drake armies from the Walled Cities advanced on the Meeting of the Tribes, and the Gnolls had to defend. Xherw gave [[Tkrn]] an Eyeshield to help protect important Gnolls. Plain's Eye warriors and the returned Merish ambushed [[Nokha]] and her [[Raskghar|Raskghars]], killing all except her. She was spared when she revealed that Mrsha was at the Meeting of the Tribes.<ref name=":9">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/23/8-66/ Chapter 8.66]</ref>

The Plain's Eye Tribe went to the west and handily won. Back at the camps, Doomslayers attempted to assassinate Mrsha in the [[Gaarh Marsh Tribe|Gaarh Marsh]] camp, but were intercepted by [[Magnolia Reinhart|Magnolia]]'s maids, [[Ferris Thycarl|Ferris]], and were finally killed by [[Khoteizetrough]] who declared Mrsha to be a Doombearer.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/02/27/8-67/ Chapter 8.67]</ref>

What followed was a schism between the tribes. Silverfang and their allies advocated that white gnolls shouldn't be hunted any more while Plain's Eye advocated for killing them. They were joined by [[Az’muzarre Tribe|Az'muzarre]] and [[Steelfur Tribe|Steelfur]], and Xherw convinced many undecided tribes thanks to his luck. Plain's Eye's numerous [Shamans] went around reciting Doombringer stories to convince others. [[Satar Silverfang|Satar]] would reveal the true tale of the Beast of Albez during the debate.

As [[Torishi Weatherfur|Torishi]] and Xherw debated, he let Nokha go to kill [[Mrell]] and [[Prha]] to "prove" that Doombringers brought Doom, but she was stopped by the [[Halfseekers]] and brought before the tribes. Yelroan and Merish also confronted him with proof of preferential treatment from the Drakes towards the tribe, and yearly payments from Fissival. As Xherw tried to use his luck to turn the situation around and kill the Doombearers (now three with the arrival of Wer), [[Belavierr Donamia|Belavierr]] arrived and revealed the Daemon of Luck. Violence followed immediately after.<ref name=":7">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/13/8-79/ Chapter 8.79]</ref>

The tribes fought each other. On the first day of fighting, Plain's Eye warriors killed a thousand [[Wild Wastes Tribe|Wild Wastes]] warriors led by [[Dorekh]]. On the second day, their [Shamans] unleashed a [Grand Ritual] to destroy the opposing tribes with a great geyser of molten rock. It was stopped by the self-sacrifice of Khoteizetrough. Plain's Eye pushed through to try to kill Mrsha but were driven back. Xherw then made a deal with Belavierr to have her fight for Plain's Eye in exchanged for a third of their luck.<ref name=":6">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-83/ Chapter 8.83]</ref>

Ulcreziek is confronted by the Fellowship, and was initially winning until [[Apista]] stung him in his normal eye with an antimagic stinger.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-84/ Chapter 8.84]</ref>He later stops the ''Illuminary'' as it was running over lesser Plain's Eye [Shamans]. 

Xherw and his bodyguards push in, targeting the Silverfang tribe, blaming them as the root of everything going wrong, and Satar in particular for her revelations. As he tries to kill her, [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] and [[Flos Reimarch|Flos]] attack the Daemon. He attempts to fight his way back to it, but [[Jecaina Leysars|Jecaina]] renders her judgement before he can reach it and the Doombearer souls are freed, taking away the luck from Xherw and giving it the Gnolls and their allies. Xherw continues fighting as he's surrounded until he is finally killed by Merish.

Ulcreziek calls for Belavierr to make a bargain to save the remainder of his tribe. He gives her the ''[[Plain's Eye]]'' and is killed by [[Manus]] soldiers shortly after. Belavierr fulfils the deal by turning  the fur of the Plain's Eye tribe members white.<ref name=":0" />

=== Volume 9 ===
Many members of the tribe have left and took a lot of the tribe's coin with them. The warriors of Plain's Eyes were divided up, into other tribes or their original subtribes. The remnants of the tribe were kept at the outskirts of the Meeting of the Tribes. As they had no control over their powers, they caused misfortune in the area. Every member was making trade goods to raise money in preparation for winter. Merish planned to lead the tribe westward and build a settlement to keep them from being attacked or starving.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/17/9-07/ Chapter 9.07]</ref>

Parts of the tribe weren't at the Meeting of the Tribes, and they sought revenge or refused to change their ways. [[Gamur]], [[Garsine Wallbreaker|Grasine]] and others hunted them down.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/01/9-50/ Chapter 9.50]</ref> 
==Strength==
The Plain's Eye Tribe is one of the largest Gnoll tribes in Izril. As the tribe is specialized in shamanism, they have [Shamanic Warriors] which are like magical warriors similar to [Spellblade] only different, as they are suited to heavy fighting, and are not so fragile, as they can enchant their fur to becomes as hard as armor, and their blades capably of cutting steel.<ref name=":7.34 C" />

They often use Eye Totems that blind their foes.<ref name=":6" />
