Gobbog hoped the Earthers would stand down. He felt it was time to help the Ferals reach their next step in self empowerment.
He made an offer to all adult ferals.
"In this Reservation you have animals to hunt, kill and eat. You have materials to make your traditional tribal goods.
But disease and old age still cause death.
One of the patrons of the Der’al Collective can offer you freedom from old age and extra hundreds of years of life.
I speak of the Queen Ar’yay. She does not force those to her service.
She offers only love and acceptance.
Any who agree will be given the proud task of raising one of her young, and in exchange she guarantees at least two hundred years without pain or disease, a life that could be well lived.
She does not even ask the Ferals to change their ways. She wishes to love you as you are. To share in an unconditional acceptance.
No one will be forced to join.
Only volunteers with open eyes will be accepted."
