Totems of the Dead: Game Master's Guide to the Untamed lands
 |
Know¸ brave wanderers¸ that we live in the dawn of a terrible new age. Our great-grandfathers
speak of an age undreamed of¸ a shining time of plenty¸ when the wilderness was
not so wild to us and the earth was our mother who provided all things. That was before
drought and famine set each tribe at the throats of its rivals. Before the sorcerer-slavers came
across the salt-foamed sea from Atlantis and stole a generation of our people¸ or the Sea
Wolves turned the coast into a red tide of blood and slaughter. Before the Shenites and Skadians
came with their new gods and strange ways¸ and before we knew the fear of Ruskar
war parties. More ominous still are the dark storm clouds gathering on spiritual horizons.
The spirits were once our guides and allies¸ but now¸ with the coming of the mists¸ terrible
beasts that have no place in a sane world stalk through the otherworldly vapors. Our future
is pregnant with dangers unimagined. Stay awhile and sit by the warmth of the fire¸ for it
is a wise youth who will listen to what an aging warrior has lived to know.
