The Famine of Kalee
Ever since the fall of the Great Jenuwaa Tribe, Kalee has been a place of disorder. Once united under the lead of the now deity Shrupak, the Kaleesh people are now divided and warring, scattered across the planet in groups of like-minded people. Many generations have passed since the desertion of the Jenuwaa sea, as well as it's sacred monuments, and once great cities of the bone lizards now lay in waste.
Divided and against one another, a harsh truth has come to wear upon the thick-hided people. There wasn't enough to go around, and there was nothing of value to trade. With no singular tribe big enough to attract the attention of space-farers, it seemed as if the only thing to do was to fight until their honor and reputation drew the attention of offworlders.
Now, the masses starve, and the warriors fall at one another feet. Observers of the bone lizards have declared that 'The first to fight will be the last to starve.' Each battle fought between the small tribes was ultimately meaningless, until the rise of two groups.
The Iron Tusk, taking refuge in one of their ancient cities known for its massive iron monument, began to conquer smaller, nearby tribes. Led by the strategic genius of Military Adjutant Vatil vaz Lytean, they became the second largest tribe on Kalee, even taking great honor in the attention of offworlders.
The other group was known as the Bronze Union. Taking their home as the Gehennian Stronghold of Precious Metals, long abandoned after the fall of the Jenuwaa Tribe. Using their supply of metals that could be weaponize or sold, their wealth bought them power, as well as the best gear any Kaleesh on the planet could afford.
The peace between the two was short lived, as the Bronze Union oft attacked and stole from the Iron Tusk. After many years of such treatment, the Iron Tusk staged an attempted takeover of the Stronghold, which was cut short in what was quickly known as the Gehennian Massacre. The Iron Tusk's forces were nearly annihilated, and many of the survivors were forced into the Gehenna Mountains, which were famed for the dangerous environment, and low survival rate of any and all who entered.
Many weeks later, returning to Xiruandisudanta, home of the now weakened Iron Tusk, came most of those who fled into the mountains. Led under one female, who they declared their prophet, was Jaz Quatzal Kuatal. Equipped with the religious artifact, the Kyber Amulet of Shrupak. All of them equipped with the story of meeting an ancient Shaman, who trained Jaz, and begged her to unite Kalee and end the famine, before it ends them.
Now, with many pledging their allegiance to Jaz, a holy mission has been set forth. Unite Kalee, or die trying.
Missions:
Name: Roots
Location: Jenuwaa Sea
Details: Many shamans, in a test to see if Jaz truly was worthy of the trust of their tribes, have requested that she, accompanied by those of her choice, take pilgrimage to the now predator ravaged land of the Jenuwaa Monument, and find a sign of the approval of the now deceased deities.
Name: Savages
Location: Gehenna Pass
Details: High ranking warriors of the Bronze Union have challenged Jaz to combat with any companions she can bring, believing the disgrace of her fleeing of the Gehennian Massacre to disqualify her from the role she claims to carry.
Name: Bottom of a Bottle
Location: Xiruandisudanta
Details: If Jaz is to hold a capable military, she must first hold a capable Adjutant. The Adjutant famed for his service in the Iron Tusk has vanished from his job, but reports do speak of him being alive. He must be found, and convinced of the importance of the unification.
