The Beginning
The Metis Farmers used to live ordinary lives, tending to their livestock and harvesting
their crops as you’d typically expect them to. Life for the Farmers was good, and they were
happy with what they had, but they could never have guessed their fate… nobody could.
It happened in the form of an event, one that initially went unnoticed by a large majority
of the population. There was no great explosion, no magic portal, no visit from an unknown
species; just 10,000 Farmers who blipped from existence, disappearing from the face of the
Earth without a trace. Nobody knew where they went, only that there must have been a reason
for their disappearance.
Meanwhile, the vanished Farmers awoke in unfamiliar territory - a completely new world that
they had never seen before. They were surrounded by structures and elements that were
completely alien, and clouded by confusion - why were they here? There were clues that
surrounded them; the fact that they'd been transported with their tools, and that their new
home seemed completely untouched.
The answer to their questions came in the form of a spectral being, who arrived to address
the 10,000 Farmers. The being explained why they had been transported to this world, the
home planet of their spectral host. He explained that they were a dying race, incapable of
harvesting the crops that surrounded them, through the lack of skill and physical ability.
They needed the Metis Farmers to help them, to help them to survive.
They must unlock the potential of their new environment, and find value wherever it lies.
Maybe, just maybe, they'll find their way home
