Description
Eden. The perfect world - the home of Black & White’. A lush, unspoiled paradise of small islands in a cobalt sea. Eight tribes live their lives here in harmony. They work the land, fish the sea, build homes and farm animals. They only want for one thing. A god.
It’s divine intervention – the villagers, in trouble one day, shout for help and you swoop from the heavens and save them. From that moment on, everything changes. You are their god and they set about constructing a temple in which to worship you. And, as is the way of gods, the more worship you receive, the stronger you get.
The villagers also take you to the most precious things on their island. These are the creatures; animals which frolic in a hidden oasis. You, as a god, may pick one of these and make it yours. The chosen creature will be your physical manifestation upon the realm and its appearance will reflect the kind of god you choose to be. You must teach it what to eat, where to sleep, how to help the tribes people and how to fight.
