((Ironic as it may seem, I was inspired to do this by Sheep))
4000 B.C.E. (the founding of a nation)
The people sat around the Annual Pillar of fire ceremony, as the inventors came with their new creations. The Austere elders sat in their bronze thrones at the base of a crude stone pyramid.
The people watched in awe as some of the inventors displayed feats of magic which piqued their already inquisitive nature. The ones involving fire ultimately were forced into explaination by the mob, as the crowd learned to walk on coals and to touch fire without being burned.
Finally Arrowny stepped before the crowd and withdrew a curiously bent stick, joined at each end by a taught line of sinew. He pulled a foot long stick with a bronze point on one end and feathers on another, and placed it carfully onto the taught string. He pulled back, and as he did this, the stick bowed, but it did not break. Suddenly he flicked his fingers, and his creation was lodged in the middle of a knot in an ancient fir tree.
The crowd gasped as the thuddudududud reverberated throughout the now silent forest. This was the discovery of the year! THIS must be utilized immediately. Arrowny was given much wampum to facilitate and organize the mass production of these by his people, and the Bow and Arrow surpassed fire, and became the new God of Wisconsin.
The Wisconsinite scholars immediately took to practicing the use of this item, and found it good for taking game and injuring man, as the old and wise elder who was forced to change his name to "Pain in Rear" will attest to.
This new tool helped the Wisconsinites band together and force the northern tribes to trade for worthless bits of copper, all of their hunting grounds, and in a few cases, women. The Wisconsinites became the most respected and revered tribe because of it, and were soon expanding their borders.
