Using the Giant Drum

Legend has it that if a great warrior wished to unite the tribes of Eodon against a common foe, they would have to construct a Giant Drum on the top of Drum Hill. It appears in the Savage Empire.

Description[edit]

According to legend, after convincing every chief to join the hero in battle, the hero would then beat the drum to summon the tribes throughout the land to fight for a common cause. The Avatar did exactly that while being on Eodon. After learning the rhythm, the Avatar took several hides to Tuomaxx, who lived at Drum Hill, in order to create a new drum. That done, the Avatar rallied all the tribes after gaining the support of all of them, to strike against the Myrmidex.

Lore[edit]

From several tribesmen, including Sahree of the Yolaru, I'd heard the story about an ancient drum used to unite the tribes. There was one man alive capable of recreating that drum, the Disquiqui drum-maker named Tuomaxx. I found Tuomaxx at Drum Hill, suffered his strange behavior, and made him promise to build me another drum of legend. But I had to bring him the materials — a hide and bones.
