Characters in this episode

Oren
Born into a Stone Age tribe, Oren quickly developed an unusual fascination with geological phenomena, particularly how rocks reacted to heat. This perceived "sorcery" alienated him from many in his traditional tribe. Shielded by his wise grandmother and loyal companion Mara, he pursued his abstract studies, collecting rare ores. The escalating threat from beasts and aggressive tribes transformed his academic curiosity into a desperate mission, culminating in his groundbreaking invention of bronze tools, saving his tribe and sparking a technological revolution.
Mara
Growing up alongside Oren, Mara was one of the few who understood, or at least trusted, his peculiar interests. While the tribe dismissed his observations, she saw his latent genius. She became his active accomplice, venturing into dangerous territories to help him collect the rare ores essential for his experiments. Her unwavering loyalty and practical assistance were crucial in enabling Oren's research, providing both physical aid and emotional encouragement against the backdrop of tribal skepticism and danger.
Eira
As a revered elder within her Stone Age tribe, Eira held a position of influence and respect. When her grandson Oren began demonstrating unusual observations that were seen as "sorcery," she used her wisdom and authority to protect him from the tribe's fear and dismissal. She understood that Oren's unique mind, though challenging tradition, held vital potential. She provided him with a safe haven, offering emotional support and fostering his curiosity, recognizing that love and belief were vital for his difficult path of innovation.
