The final major Clan of the Nation was founded three years after the first colonies of the Spanish lords came upon Hispaniola. During the Reconquista many Amazon women and men had bled into the population of lower Iberia. Many of them being of both IronCobra and RunningHorse. The foundation of the SilkenSpider would not establish itself till after the wayward colonial communities were united during the Civil War era. With the creation of the US and eventual founding of the Dominion of Canada the Colonial Amazons slowly coalesced as new traditions and a new Amazo dialect appeared. Over time as new Ozikon were founded from the first few settlers, the SilkenSpider wove itself together as a Clan of mixed varied descent.
The SilkenSpider are in the modern age the most phsycially varied of all Clans. They also have the highest amount of adopted Amazons and often encourage marrying outsiders. They also have the lowest amount of the Amazonian immunities to respiratory problems. This meant when the influenza outbreak hit the Amazonian population in America hard. Several families were lost and those left did their best to remain. By the time of the 20th century began the SilkenSpider had been reduced to small enclaves in the Northeast and the Northwest. Steady expansion and immigration in the following years saw a soaring of the Amazon population but only a steady incremental increase for the SilkenSpider.
By the year 2000 the Clan had restablizled and had become known as a gang in several cities because of the Clan's spider web tattoo art.

Hello ShadowedSin!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you how fascinating this blog is (I'm geeking over your work on the Amazon language you're creating) and as I saw in a few posts ago that you were going to put the "dictionary" in a pdf, and hopefully have a story draft done next year, I'm wondering if the rest of the process you've been describing will be gathered up in some kind of document as well?
What with all the preparatory work there is, it'd be interesting too see it compiled at some point. Anyway.
I don't often check blogs, and I scarcely write comments when I do, but I hope you'll keep the hard work up :) It'll be really interesting to see the outcome, and it's already inspiring to see how much you've done already!
Good Luck!
Thank you Anon!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has been a fan of Amazonian myth for a few years I really wanted to breath life into what was created thousands of years ago. In the modern day we have stories of the supernatural and Amazons but nothing realistic. I wanted to create a people with a history and language all of their own and I really hope that it gains a fanbase as my work continues :)
