Introduction to Prus

Life is not pleasant. It's not supposed to be pleasant, no one expects it to be pleasant, but even this doesn't make it any more pleasant. One can suppose there are worlds where life is not just a battle for survival, but alas this one is not such a world. This world is of a hunter-prey variety. The small get by by hiding, sneaking and deceiving, and the big... are big. But one should not make haste and envy a hunters' life. Whoever wished he could trade places with an orc?

But some always seek to change the established ways. To make a stand and show their teeth to those who would break them. The joint hobbit and mousling alliance of Mal'rock seem to be doing a pretty good job of it. For 50 years the island colony prospers, with little fear of predators and raiders. An organized militia is of a great use but them throwing spear down a giant tree also helps a bit.
