They then called on primitave beings, telling them to explore the universe. Three races were able to reply to their call; "Silver Tribe" the "Bronze Tribe", and the "Hero Tribe". Long after, when the Golden Tribe were about to move on to another universe, a new race replied to their call. This new race, humankind, was referred to as the "Iron Tribe".
