A Brief History
For millennia they have lived in the shadow of the great mountain on The Island of Uke, serving as protectors of its secrets. Protectors of the secret of the forge they swore to Eldath that they would protect the great forge from any evils and keep its secrets from falling into the wrong hands. As inhabitants of the island when Eldath came with a small group of different races, she spoke of a great evil which desired to rip the world apart and she needed the help of the Ukumunku people to find a way into the mountain and to forge a great weapon which would defeat the evil. These races united against a common enemy to do a great deed for the world. The forging skills of the Dwarfs, the engineering of the elves and the magical jewels of the Gnomes. And so, it was in the mountain of Uke where The sword of Deermahl was created.

In recent times, a colony of Firenewts has taken residence in the belly of the volcano, drawn in when the fires of the volcano were stoked to create enough heat to forge The sword of Deermahl and have begun burrowing and excavating to get closer to the heat. This has not only been poisoning the water used by the Ukumunku people but has also been causing some terrible tremors from the volcano.

The People
A gentle race of humanoids who live a simple and meagre lifestyle. Hunter gatherers who take only what they need and give back double to the land. They have an affinity with all of the beautiful animals who inhabit the island where they live, which have long since died everywhere else in Adhaesit Terrae and feel at one with the earth and the universe. These people are the sacred protectors of the fire in case another blade needs to be forged or the current blade is found and needs to be destroyed to keep it out of the hands of evil.
