"Seek the water of life"
Long ago, when the four Great Tribes were at war with one another, the world was covered by miasma. It swept across the earth and seized many lives. As this destructive force engulfed more and more towns, the Tribes made a peace treaty. Together they searched for a power strong enough to save them from certain death.
In time, the Tribes found the crystals, which they erected across the world in all the inhabited towns and cities. Shining their holy light upon the lands, the crystals drove away the darkness. The people were overcome with happiness and rejoiced for their liberation from fear. However, miasma had not vanished from the world.
Each year the crystals must be purified. Without purification, the crystal's divine light would fade, their life forces declining, and miasma would flood through the towns and cities. The crystal's purification is accomplished with myrrh, the holy water of which the legends speak.
Myrrh trees, which produce the myrrh, are located in many places in this world. Strongly rooted, these trees reside deep under the earth, far into dense forests, and even across the ocean. Many dangers surround these mystic trees, an excessive amount of which is monsters.
Now each year members of the four Tribes, brave young men and women, form groups that seek out the myrrh trees. These people face many difficulties, but still they travel onward with courage.
This is the tale of one such caravan.
