TAMBOPATA RIVER SHENANIGANS
CHARACTERS: See tags.
SETTING: The Tambopata River from March 2nd onward.
SUMMARY:
TAMBOPATA RIVER ABOUT There are a number of indigenous communities spread along the Tambopata river (located in south-eastern Peru near border with Bolivia), elaborated on below. Some are incredibly isolated while others are frequented by tourists and researchers. Some are magical, some are muggle. Medical assistance is provided by shamans (who, unlike stereotypes, are not witch doctors but individuals with immense botanical knowledge). Beds are surrounded by netting to keep away relentless bugs during sleep. Food (fruits, corn, yucca, pirahna, etc.) is all grown through back breaking farming or caught by locals. Lately, these communities have been terrorized by a local dark wizard terrorizing the locals with a basilisk. KEY LOCATIONS Made up for the sake of simplicity. Locations are all a half-hour away and separated by jungle and a lot of goddamned water. LOCATION 1. An underdeveloped, indigenous community of muggles Voldemort stayed with while in Peru. Has one of the most well-known shamans (a wizard known to both muggles and wizards) and is connected to most of the local peoples through this individual. Death Eaters are staying here to gain information. They also hear about a number of local legends that, with a little research, turn up clues (like the golden cup and ghost legends mentioned in the gdoc). LOCATION 2. Another indigenous community of muggles frequented by tourists and researchers. This location is a bit more developed. While there's running water, it's not warm and the buildings are cheap and precariously built at best. Rumors have surfaced here about a monster after villagers found a woman petrified. LOCATION 3. An indigenous community of wizards recently taken over by (and currently under the reign of) a local dark wizard terrorizing the locals with a basilisk. There's a mandrake farm here. LOCATION 4. Yarqhay sach'a is a native city occupied by a tribe of Amazon witches/shamans who make invisibility cloaks. It is surrounded by man eating (literally) woods. The witches have a lethifold problem and are willing to offer an invisibility cloak to the individuals that help them with it. THE SET-UP THE DATES.
