'''Tribe Hb-238NA''' were a small group of hominid nomads who lived during the Upper Paleolithic Period roughly 130,000 years ago. Discovery of the group's remains upended previous migration models, placing an extinct hominid farther east than ever recorded, and roughly 10,000 years earlier than expected. The group's perfectly preserved camp also provided surprising insights into early hominid culture. They're known today for their intricate and beautiful orbwork, which they used to adorn their clothing and personal belongings. | '''Tribe Hb-238NA''' were a small group of [[wikipedia:Hominidae|hominid]] nomads who lived during the Upper [[wikipedia:Paleolithic|Paleolithic Period]] roughly 130,000 years ago.

Their bodies, camp, and all of the tribe's possessions had been preserved when a mud slide buried and killed 26 individuals near the [[Opocheeka River]]. The site was discovered in 1966 during a ceremonial groundbreaking event for a theme park outside the town of [[Porsonville]]. | Their bodies, camp, and all of the tribe's possessions had been preserved when a mud slide buried and killed 26 individuals near the [[Opocheeka River]].

Decorative orb company [[Orbsmann's]] obtained the entirety of the tribe's orbs just days after their discovery in 1966. They remained sealed in the Orbsmann's labs until 2008, when they were donated to [[The Verchwörer Institute of Art]]'s Hb-238NA collection. | Decorative [[orb]] company [[Orbsmann's]] obtained the entirety of the tribe's orbs just days after their discovery in 1966.
