The game's narrative, or at least these snippets I've found, paints a super interesting picture. First off, the line, 'I am Dogard. I lead the Stone Tribe.' – that instantly hooked me. It immediately establishes him as a significant leader, not just some random NPC. And his follow-up, 'If it's rocks or minerals, we got you covered,' makes it clear his tribe is all about those natural resources. But it goes deeper than that, doesn't it? Then comes the real kicker: the 'oil' situation. It’s not just any oil; there’s talk about 'auric oil' being 'needed for the Firespring Festival,' and this mysterious statement, 'WE GET YOUR OIL.' It feels like this precious resource is at the heart of everything. And get this, the 'oil folk have teleportation technology'! That’s a huge lore bomb right there, suggesting a technologically advanced faction. It makes me wonder if Dogard's Stone Tribe is somehow in conflict or alliance with these 'oil folk.' Is he protecting his claim, or trying to acquire more? What really cracked me up, and also made me think, was the whole 'SOMEONE CALL IN THE US GOVERNMENT.' and 'DESERT STORM TIME.' combined with 'WE HAVE LOCATED WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.' It’s such a clever, satirical take on real-world geopolitics, framed within a fantasy or sci-fi setting. It’s like the game is winking at us, drawing parallels between the hunt for resources in its world and the historical search for 'oil' and 'WMDs' in ours. The idea of a 'civilization' that 'has oil' and thus becomes a target – 'IT IS TIME FOR US TO GO IN' – is a direct, albeit humorous, commentary. The mention of Maki going to gather auric oil and Yabran talking about 'lots of tunnels 'round here' suggests that resource gathering isn't just about surface mining. There’s an entire underground network, perhaps leading to these valuable oil deposits or even to the 'oil folk' themselves. It adds a layer of exploration and danger. And the 'Everforge' being ignited during a festival? That sounds like a powerful ancient artifact or a crucial ceremonial event, possibly tied to the use or protection of this auric oil. Honestly, Dogard feels like a character navigating a complex world of resource control, ancient rituals, and perhaps even inter-tribal or inter-factional politics. He’s more than just a leader of a stone tribe; he's at the center of a narrative that cleverly blends fantasy elements with sharp, modern satire. It’s the kind of lore that makes you want to dig deeper, to understand the motivations behind 'WE GET YOUR OIL' and what happens when the 'US Government' is metaphorically called in. What are your thoughts on Dogard's ultimate goal? Is he a protector, a conqueror, or just a survivor in a world obsessed with 'oil'?
