Early Pandora

From the Early Pandora Wiki Na'vi legend Wiki lore Canon

Early Pandora is the name this wiki uses for the long age when the first Na’vi clans were just beginning to live on the moon. Most of what we know comes from old Na'vi legends and from clues left in the ground, such as plant stalks turned to stone and tiny bird skulls with four eye sockets. Na'vi legend

The Age of the Great Swamps

Early Pandora was wetter than today. Wide, slow rivers spread into misty swamps, and the warm pools glowed at night. The swamps belonged to the giant Taktswìkyu plants and the blue tak ducks they ate. Na'vi legend

Old Na'vi songs call this time "when the water sang", because the swamps were never quiet: the ducks called tak! tak-tak! from morning until night. Wiki lore

How the first Na'vi lived

The first Na'vi lived beside the swamps. They twisted old Taktswìkyu stalks into strong ropes and used the hollow tubes as drinking straws. They learned to read the forest, listening through their queues to Eywa. Na'vi legend

How the age ended

The age ended with the Great Hunger, when the Taktswìkyu ate every last tak and then died out themselves. From the last surviving seed came the first loreyu, the shy spiral plant that still grows along Pandora's rivers today. Na'vi legend

Many hundreds of generations later, about 3,000 years before humans arrived, the first Toruk Makto flew (see The First Flight of Toruk). Canon
