Chapter 1 – Priam Rocklands (Prologue)
by Rahul Pillai
There was a storm. Most time of the year the little tribes withdrew in packs into the caves below the hills. Ishn’oprahat – the curse of Ishn’or, the tribesmen called the torrential downpour that ruined most of their little wooden barracks and houses. The Ongbara were one of nine tribes that tenanted the rocky plains of Priam. For most time of the year, they dwelled on the scarce vegetation on the plains. With the onset of monsoon, under the guidance of the spiritual clan leader, they retreated to the caves.
