Origin[]
The Trail of Tears was a series of forced relocations of eastern Native American tribes farther west, off their ancestral homelands. Many of the affected were from the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw nations, whom many Americans at the time considered the only civilized tribes. Forced to move by President Andrew Jackson to mine their lands, most traveled to the Oklahoma Territory. Many thousands died on the way from starvation, disease and weather exposure.
Effects[]
The wearer will be granted with extreme endurance, enabling them to tolerate many physical and emotional traumas. However, it also causes a sense of fatigue and hunger that grows over time until they become too weak to move.
