The island of Crocatta has been out of sight and out of mind from the rest of the world for as long as anyone can remember, and the hyenas living on the land mass are nearly as unaware of the rest of the planet as it is of them. The isle provides everything for them that they would ever need, and life for the most part is good.
But it doesn’t end there. This is by no means any ordinary island, and a single glance at some of its inhabitants would make that perfectly clear straight away. The hyenas worship the goddess Kamaria, a fabled female who apparently lived and died hundreds of years ago. Some dismiss the fanciful tales of her life as nothing more than legends, but others think quite differently – And it’s an opinion shared with most hyenas that asking for her help in the mystical Upenyu Shrine will grant you with any number of abilities.
And, in some cases, this happens. Different colours, different extraordinary abilities… After requesting them at this supernatural place, hyenas are being blessed with many strange traits that set them apart from everyone else. It seems that Kamaria is still very much on Crocatta in spirit, and really can exalt the living with new and wonderful powers. But, from time to time, something bad will happen to a hyena at the shrine – And others are beginning to wonder if it’s safe to constantly ask for un-natural powers in the hallowed place. There are even whispers amongst some of the hyenas to destroy the shrine completely and rid the island of the amazing and sometimes terrifying things it can create, whilst others believe it is a thing to be glorified and treated with respect.
Where do you stand in the conflict? Will you request the help of Kamaria herself, or will you be amongst those who oppose ever meddling in supernatural events like these? One this is certain – On an island like this, you can only escape the confrontation for so long before it catches you…
