Background

When the advent of a famine began to threaten their survival, the 12th Monarch of the Inya Mountain Folk, named Moriyan Gindar, found himself having to make a most cruel decision. Anno 2325, under pressure from his uncle and most valued advisor, he rationed all leftover food supplies and passed a potential death sentence over many of the old and sick villagers in order to save the few families in power. After the murder of his uncle, Moriyan Gindar left most of his subjects to survive by their own means, looking only after his own kin and village. Anno 2343, after almost two decades of famine and oppression, three of the Mountain Folk villages raised arms against their ruler, and after a brutal battle the Monarch was slain within the walls of his stronghold. However, in spite of his defeat, a large group of the Monarch’s kin managed to escape their fate.
