Rumble In The Jungle PBEM

[1889]

Only the Onondagas had any inkling of where this would lead. Or maybe it was only Hodenayedakwa, because even some of his priests began to join the expeditions and sing of adventures and new discoveries. Gaedinowahe, they were called by the true believers that stayed behind. It was an ancient phrase whose meaning is hard to translate into the languages of more curious and less sedentary societies. To the Haudenosaunee it meant, “where is he going?” and it had never been asked as a serious question until now.

Finally at my computer for the first time in the last 36-48 hours. I worked all day yesterday, all last night, and was partying in the early morning before staying up today to see the race concluded. I've slept only about 5-6 hours in the past 3 days.

I suppose the payoff is that my job prospects post-election are looking pretty good right about now.

It looks like I still won't have time to play my PBEM saves at the moment, but I hope to be able to get to them by this evening, assuming I'm still awake (which is debatable... might be tomorrow morning).

So I offer my apologies on the delay in my PBEMs and an appeal for a bit more patience. I'll definately play them when I next get some time in front of this machine.

Hodenayedakwa asked Sahwihsdaegeh, chief of the Cayugas, to stop them. The Spirit had entrusted the Cayugas to lead the people in their wait. It pleased Sahwihsdaegeh very much to have a chief tell him so, but the scar Hodenayedakwa still wore on his brow told him all he needed to know about going against Iatekwah. As the meeting continued he grew less pleased with the old priests presence. So many years wandering the open desert had made the cleric’s skin dark and rough, but the Cayugas valued suppleness and the chief began to hope that Iatekwah could tame a more suitable climate. In the end the Law Givers were summoned and the old chief was escorted to the edge of the settlement.

Tensions grew ever tighter between Onondaga and Mohawk. Iatekwah had fixed his mind on the solution and so cared little how large the rift grew. He forced none to leave with him. Ensehsahtenti he called it, “going home.” The point was to leave the discontents and religious radicals in Phoenix and start anew.

Gaedinowahe was the Onondaga word for the stream of people abandoning their way of life. Let the Mohawks and all their minions leave. Those that stayed behind were the true believers and they would not need the sewatsiaken to perform their duties. Duties that kept the people busy no mater what belief they held, and so only Hodenayedakwa noticed the lone cloud drift over the city and out over the desert.
