Abyss Tribe

"Belaf to Wazukyan"

- The Golden City. The natives called it "Shourou."

The Abyss Tribe was an unspecified native tribe of humans that lived on the island of the Abyss when Ganja travelled to it and Irumyuui belonged to.

Their culture was shaped around the Abyss and they were able to understand and use Beyond Glyphs in their language.

The tribe had legends regarding the residents of the Golden City having patterns on their body and, when one came of age in the tribe, their body was marked in ink with Beyond Glyphs to imitate said patterns of the inhabitants of the Golden City. The Beyond Glyphs represented the respective roles of the individual tribe member and members that were judged as insufficient due to being infertile would be marked with "ink of sacrifice" and sent into the Abyss as sacrifice.

At some point after Ganja had travelled to the Abyss, this tribe seemingly vanished as it was not recorded to be present by the first explorers that officially discovered the Abyss and later lead to the creation of Orth.

Trivia

 * Before Ganja came to the Abyss, the tribe had bad experiences with travelers coming before them who were violent and domineering which caused them to be reluctant to share information.
 * According to Irumyuui, fertility is very highly valued in her tribe and as such once she was examined and found to be infertile, she was judged to be a cursed child of the giant pit must be returned to the pit.
 * The Beyond Glyph the Abyss tribe uses for "Great Pit" is more complex than the glyph used for "Abyss" in Riko's day and age. As is the Beyond Glyph on Irumyuui's back.
 * The people on the island may have tried to apply their own sounds to the ancient alphabet found on the island.
