In Attawan culture, the Dabimbula is the sacred Guardian of the mysterious artifact known as Kobuka's Egg, which is the sole remaining Eari Stone in the known world (unknown to them, the Vurg are also in possession of one). The Dabimbula would have been one of the Tal Calar in the time of The Befores. For thousands of years there has been only one Dabimbula at a time, with the first being one called Bubo. There were other guardians for other stones elsewhere in the world, which belonged to other cultures and passed down their own versions of the secrets, but those guardians and the stones were lost to antiquity. The secrets surrounding the purpose of Kobuka's Egg are passed down to the next Dabimbula. This was supposed to be done through a book called the Codex Antifexa, but the Attawa had no formal writing system so they passed the information down orally.
Because they are tasked with protecting the Egg and its legacy, the Dabimbula must also be the keeper of the wraighs, also known as shade hounds, which come with the Egg. In antiquity, the keepers of the Eari Stones and the wraighs were feared by all who saw them; that they hunted sorcerers and other magic users earned them the nickname The Cullers.
