Who are the Pembawabaruan?
The Pembawabaruan is an umbrella term recently coined for various Risuners who have left our homeland to seek new knowledge, skills, innovation, and talents. Upon returning home, these Risuners meet and cooperate with a common duty of spreading their new knowledge to the common folk.
Pembawabaruan Risuners came from multiple backgrounds. Some examples are:
- Natives who studied at the Infinitum Protectorate University of Flora and the Maumigny University of Panrong
- Rishamate diplomats to the Great Court of /hlgg/
- Merchants spread across the Tupai coastlines
- Sabatangan - Serene Republic plutocrats
- Students going abroad to /hlgg/, Moriji, Oisseau, Tsukinode, and Infinitum
- Members of the Tri-Fleet Expedition and its guild in Silvanus
- Farmer and forager guilds cooperating with foreign markets such as KAG
- Soldiers trained under Oisseau
- And many many more
As shown, any Risuner who has been exposed to new knowledge and culture are called pembawabaruan. Due to this, the title of pembawabaruan did not became synonymous with elitism such as the Rishama. Instead the title became a symbol of Risuners who dared to improve themselves and the tupai-tupai around them.
While the list of Risuners labelled as Pembawabaruan grew with each day, these talented individuals make up merely a tiny percentage of the Risuner population due to the ever-reproducing, tribal, and disunified nature of the Tanah Tupai.
History of the Pembawabaruan
It is a general consensus among guilds and clans of the Tupai-Tupai that the pembawabaruan began its humble origins within the Infinitum Protectorate of Central Risu. While historically, there had been numerous Risuners who left the homeland for various reasons. Yet it is the Risuners under the Protectorate that formalized the culture as its own movement.
When the metal men arrived, they erected new towns across the Central region of Tanah Tupai such as Demeter, Ceres, Flora, and Janus . The most significant advancement that changed the history and lifestyle of the people being Hecate Path. A massively long road that stretched across the then disconnected east and west coast of Tanah Tupai.
The Kronies brought with them new knowledge and technology that awed and inspired the natives. New tools to help control the growth of massive magical trees, new magical methods to use chuubanite, and new skills such as roadbuilding and shipbuilding. Schools were erected all across the Protectorate. Teaching new skills and knowledge. Eventually culminating with the foundation of the University of Flora. It is the Daksini children under the Protectorate, fascinated by maps and stories of the world outside, that founded the Tri-Fleet Expedition. A program that became the springboard of a new generation of pembawabaruan.
Outside of the Protectorate, other parallel environments that gave birth to pembawabaruan cultures were diplomats to /hlgg/, and tradessquirrel of Sabatangan who chose to live in the Serene Republic. Meanwhile on the borders, there were exposure by trade and contact to more urban civilizations such as Oisseau, Towa, and Moriji.
As the number of Risuners returning with new knowledge grew each year, these individuals of multiple origins discussed for a more organized approach to share their knowledge. One that will eventually modernize Tanah Tupai and its many clans to be on equal footing with the outside world.
Recent developments in South Risu became the spark of the officialization of the pembawabaruan code. As the idea of a 'centralized' nation of Risuner would become the eventual endgoal of the pembawabaruan phenomenon.
The First Great Meet of Pembawabaruan was held in Demeter. The Meet was held by Tri-Fleet members, merchants, students, scholars, soldiers, clergy, craftsmen, farmers, doctors, local Rishamates, and most importantly for the first time in Tanah Tupai history, witches of the Central Protectorate and those who were driven off South Risu. Within this Great Meet, the Codex Bawabaru was drafted by the best Risuner minds of the time. Compiling shared goals and visions held by many Risuners of different backgrounds. The Great Meet ended with a joyous feast and a ceremonial orgy afterwards.
Foundation of the Guild of Risunaissance
With the completion of the Codex Bawabaru, the first step is to found a guild to propagate its teachings. The guild was name Risunaissance, after the Oisseau word of 'rebirth'.
