Pre-Boqqarut Damota (concept)
Prior to the rise of the Boqqarut under Eshwo, the people of Damota were clustered around the great lakes and rivers that wound through the jungle, with a variety of semi-tribal realms fighting over the land. Much of the deep jungle remained unexplored, and tales were told of what was concealed within. Of particular note is the idea of the Corpse, which held that an ancient god had been slain and laid to rest within the jungle, along with other practices such as ritual exploration and jungle burials. This period would come to an end with the rise of the Boqqarut in 258 IS, when the major tribes were unified under a single banner for the first time.
