The age of ice has passed, and the great beasts and monsters roam the land. Humanity is a flicker in the darkness, a handful of souls huddled together for warmth and safety. Your people are one such flicker. You have traveled far, through lands of biting wind and clinging mud, seeking a new home. Now, you stand at the edge of a new life, and the story of your tribe is about to be written.

But first, you must remember who you are. What is the story you tell your children around the fire?
