background
In the far reaches of prehistory, a powerful
cabal of Alien Wizards colonized an icy
moon newly captured by a gas giant orbit-
ing a distant star. The moon had a narrow
habitable region, but to their tropical biolo-
gy it was only barely so and even then only
around certain volcanic hotspots. That left
a much larger (though still small) portion
of the equatorial region lifeless. They used
their same methods of mystical travel to go
to Earth about 45,000 years ago to abduct
an abundance of cold weather life forms
to populate the rest of the moon that they
might harvest useful resources from them.
This included a large number of ice age
plants, animals, and even neanderthals.
After a few thousand years of exploitation
the Aliens finished mining what resourc-
es they cared about and abandoned the
moon. Eventually the Alien’s wards and
unmanned defenses decayed to ruin and
some of the neanderthals moved into the
abandoned volcanic regions. After count-
less generations of considering the settle-
ments themselves taboo, they too were
settled and the neanderthals forged the
great city state of Bwang-Quos in the ru-
ins of the Alien’s former prime settlement,
revering them as an ancient race of gods.
The heavy mining left few useful minerals
for the neanderthal civilization and so it
has never advanced beyond the stone age
and potentially never will before the moon
becomes tidally locked and its thin slice of
habitable region is reduced to but a pair
of isolated specks in eternal twilight. The
ruins of the Alien settlements contained
vast amounts of silver and it was jealously
hoarded by the nobility and priesthood as
a sign of both divine mandate and military
power. Outside of the volcanic hotspots,
nomadics tribes of neanderthals still exist
as they have for tens of thousands of years.
Back on earth, some scattered records
of the methods the Alien Wizards used
survived in deep caves. A Jesuit occultist
used those recovered secrets to bring Por-
tuguese conquistadors to the icemoon of
Nibu, directly into the sacred tunnels be-
neath the former Alien capital. The city fell
in under an hour, the rookery-pyramid of
the fabled hawk-knights was burned to
the ground and only 12 knights escaped
the city with the royal princess, now heir
to the throne given the slaughter of the
former queen. The city ruled over a vast
agricultural valley and resentment against
the new masters is simmering. In the rich
orchards and bulrush farms surrounding
the the boiling sea, bands of partisans and
secret devotees to the old gods gather and
whittle primitive weapons, waiting for a
signal from the princess to strike. How
long can hundreds hold down tens of
thousands?
While on the moon, characters from Earth
will have +2 to their strength score due to
the lower gravity and higher oxygen con-
tent in the atmosphere. Light sources will
shine light 25% further but burn out a
quarter faster as well.
