Ida’s Clan
On April 6, 2029, of the old calendar, airbursts from a meteor shower scattered alien genetic material across the planet, transforming every living thing.
Those humans who managed to survive the transformations, and the chaos that followed, took many forms. Based on their appearance, they adopted names from the fantasy genre best exemplified by Tolkien.
Besides humans, the vastly changed world included dwarves, elves and hobbits, along with creatures from the darker side of the genre.
This is the second instalment of the story of the events that ushered in the first age's true beginning, as told by Ida, one of the Maiar.
She has just killed the high elf, High Lord Marcus, and returned to the Grand Market with High Lady Isabelle's son, High Lord Quade. With her is Yda, a goblin she rescued, two puppies and a promise to help the dwarf Cala protect her Cala's clan against an influx of deadly killer pigs which appear to have been engineered to attack the dwarves.
