    Summary

    The people of the Shimmering Shores prize collecting knowledge above all else. It is customary that once a child reaches maturity, they travel to another tribe and document all they learn for at least two years. Upon completion of their studies, they are to return to the homeland and present all their findings as well as a copy of their notes for the Archive. Many choose to continue their travels afterwards as the allure of collecting knowledge can be overwhelming. Those who choose to remain on the shores after their rite of passage are held in high esteem as they are responsible for protecting all the volumes collected through generations. They earn the title Custodian and a new chief is chosen among them when the old feels they can no longer perform their duties.
