The Temple of Ah^Garicah

The Temple of Ah^Garicah

Polkadot and Thug find themselves aboard a hybrid crawling vehicle - half mechanical and half alive - on a 5 day voyage across frozen lakes, white woods, and glaciers. Their only source of warmth against the biting cold is Ink: the very resource they were on this boat to harvest.

Setting

Mellowcrest is a sombre grey town situated in the freezing cold country of Winterwell, with below zero temperatures being the norm everyday of the year. The town’s dirt roads and paths wind around snow capped mountains and glaciers, inside which some of the residents even live. There is a poor quality of life. Residents mostly wear tattered clothes and rags, uncombed hair, little to no hygiene. However, it used to be a prettier sight before it got colonized by a monopoly company called the Ink Legion, led by a greed hungry goblin who had set it’s red eye on the most valuable substance found only in Mellowcrest: Ink.
