General Description

Karavan is composed of mysterious anthropoid beings in black suits and helmets that cover their entire heads. With the exception of the Prime Roots, the Karavan is present throughout Atys. Indeed, the homins have never yet explored an area where Karavan presence is not felt. The members of the Karavan live in great metallic vehicles and use weapons of technology as yet unknown to hominkind. The homins mostly hold them in awe.

Temple of Jena Messages

• The Message of the Karavan

"We are the disciples of Jena, the Goddess of Atys and Mother of Hominity. We have been sent to watch over Her children to give them guidance should they lose their way and to prepare them for divine elevation on the judgement day. Be sure, that day is near, homin!

Adore Jena and She will lead you through the pearly gates to a world of plenty, away from the dragon and kitins, away from the evil Kamis! Beware, They will possess your soul just to nourish their selfish desire of self-preservation if you let them!

Never forget, like me, you were made in Jena's image, and faith in Her must prevail in your heart for you to receice divine grace when Atys can no longer support homin life. In return for your devout offerings, She has invested us with divine authority to resurrect your spirit, to teleport you to distant lands and to teach you how to wield our technology.

If, like us, you consider that a homin life is worth more than a simple plant, open you hearts to Jena and She will be your Savior!"

• The Birth of Hominity

"It is said that long ago, the ancestors of the homins inhabited an impoverished planet. The Great Dragon, the prince of shadows, came to entice them with visions of pure water and fertile lands. He led them to the promised land of Atys, where he hid the sun, plunging the planet into cold and darkness. Indeed, instead of a land of wonders and of freedom, the people tricked by the Dragon experienced desolation and slavery.

Jena, the sun goddess and Mother of all life, granted them deliverance. The creator of Atys heard of the perfidy of the Dragon and filled him with an eternal fire. That way, the Dragon could no longer maintain a cold climate and extinguish the light of life. The Goddess then caused the light to be reborn, causing the greem to grow and transforming Atys into an amazing planet of plants. The enslaved people were purified and set free from the Dragon, who withdrew into the depths: and this is how Jena gave birth to hominity.

Jena then turned to her disciples, the Elect of the karavan, who were traveling among the stars and had witness the combat with the Dragon. The Goddess gave them the task of guilding the homins so that they would prosper, protected from the influence of the Dragon, who slept in the bowels of Atys. The Karavan helped the homins settle at various locations around the planet, so that each could build the future Atys in their own way."

• The Draconic Ashes

"The Dragon was defeated, but he left his mark on Atys. When Jena filled the shadowy Dargon with the fire of the sun, the Beast twisted in pain and spit his flaming breath all across the frozen planet. under the heat of his fiery breath, the primal ooze of Atys, which the dragon had buried under a wasteland of ice, emerged once again. Then Jena flooded the planet with her Light and the fertile sprouted with a miraculous fenzy of life.

The Dragon was caught in the roots of Atys during the Green Rising. He attempted to escape by spitting the sun fire and reducing the new wood to ash, but the miracle of life was far too strong and the fire was smothered under the weight of many unfolding leaves. Exhausted and defeated, the Dragon took refuge in the darkness of a plant cavern, in the depths of the planet and finally went to sleep. The ashes that came from the Dragon's fire were scattered all over the surfaces of Atys. They blended with the rivers of sap, the pollen from the giant flowers and the spores of the ancestral mushrooms.

They stuck to the lines of primeval bark. When the Green Rising came to a stop, they were everywhere. And they conteined the remains of the Dragon's wrath. All beings on Atys carry traces of the draconic ashes. They are in the air. in the plants and in the rain. The are invisible, odorless and tasteless, infinitely tiny particles of dust breathed in by all living creatures.

The Elect of the Karavan, who are above any stains of impurity from the Dragon, portect themselves from the ashes by wearing sacred armor. For them, to breath the draconic ashes would tantamount to opening up to the breath of the Dragon."

• The Prophecy

"When Jena gave her disciples the mission of guiding the homins, a prophecy was pronounced. One day, the Great Dragon sleeping in the depths of Atys would awaken. Consumed by an eternal inner flame, he will put an end to his torment and his very existence by spitting out all of the fire in his body, whish will destroy Atys. On the day of judgement, Jena and her sacred prophets who came from beyond the stars will be there. they will save the homins who have been loyal to the teachings of the Goddess and carry them off into the sky to join the Elect of the Karavan.

The homins who continue to deny that Jena is the all-powerful Goddess will perish in the flames of the Dragon and disappear along with him. And thos who have been saved will be transported to a new world of abundance, where they will live in the light of the Goddess for all of eternity.

Only Jena knows when the Dragon will wake up to breathe out his ulitimate destructive breath. Every passing day brings Atys closer to the inevitable end. But this end must not be hastened by imprudence.

So the Karavan are watching out to make sure that the faithful do not venture into the deeper layers of Atys. To descend into the bowels of the planet is to approach the Dragon, whose sleep is tormented by terrifying dreams. These shadowy dreams can push the light of Jena away from the hearts of homins and devour the souls. Nevertheless the Karavan still permit their followers to go down into the upper levels of the Prime Roots if there is a valid reason for going there."
