EVENTS

For the children of Atys, our time was that of many perils. May the Kami keep our planet sheltered from all such dangers.

In 2574, the threat came from a direction no one could have expected. The Rangers of Atys, advocates of hominkind and hunters of Kitins, undertook to cleanse the bark of all traces of the recent Great Swarm. The tunnels littered the New Lands and the Rangers sought to destroy them via a dangerous initiative. To diminish the domes of the tunnels used by our invaders to emerge into the light, the Rangers bred termites with the intent they would devour the roots anchoring the tunnels and collapse them!

The People of the Masks could not allow them to do such a thing, create such a threat to ecosystems and the Bark. Thus it was decided at the meeting of the Elders, that a group of volunteers seek, by all means, an alternative method to fill the Kitin's domes, blocking their access to the New Lands.

I was designated by the Sages to assist these Initiates and some of our homin allies. At their suggestion, we sought out the tribes of the Siblings of the Weeds and Ancient Dryads for their assistance to aid us in our research.
