The ancient peoples of Vermrike were skilled hunters, relying on their knowledge of the land and its inhabitants to procure sustenance. The tribes lived a nomadic lifestyle, following the migrations of their prey and adjusting their dwellings accordingly. They would erect temporary shelters using materials found in the environment, such as animal hides and branches. These structures provided protection from the elements and served as a gathering place for the tribe. While these tribes primarily relied on hunting and gathering, there were early signs of a transition towards limited agriculture during the later part of this period. They experimented with cultivating crops like barley and flax, taking advantage of favorable growing conditions near river valleys. This shift towards a more settled lifestyle would lay the foundation for future agricultural advancements in Vermrike. | The ancient peoples of Vermrike were skilled hunters, relying on their knowledge of the land and its inhabitants to procure sustenance.
