The Enguan Occupation

In the years since Tonueil fell to the Delgon aggressors the lands around the city have changed almost beyond recognition. The already sparse lands have been thoroughly stripped to supply the shipyards, which have been working day and night to create hulking behemoths for the Delgon Navy.

An endless stream of wagons wends its way north from the edge of the Naralon forests where forces of enlisted Engu wield their axes to fell the great trees and to defend themselves against the spirits they have angered there.

The Delgon do not sit comfortably in these lands for the Engu do not bow willingly to their oppressors. The caves and tunnels that are found throughout the clan's territories provide shelter for the draals and jenta who fled the city while their larger kin fought to protect them. Over time these scattered families have formed the backbone of a strong and dangerous resistance. The young orphan Keeva has grown into a symbol for this resistance - the howls of her loyal tahela, Yukran?, inspire all who hear them.

Off the coast, Cren Blaak leads the exiles who found a home among the inhospitable islands. The hunters use these as a safe base from which to coordinate vicious attacks, stealing or sinking much larger ships, even if it does little to stem the tide. Several times the Delgon have tried to hunt down the troublemakers, but on each occasion their unwieldy ships have failed to trap the evasive smaller boats, and the hunters found their vessels snared in reeds or their hulls holed by sharp hidden rocks that the Engu confidently evaded.
