Ancient Omen

The Arrival

Beschreibung

Australia, around 240BP (before the present) The ancient legend of forewarning, maintained by the infamous clan since the Dreamtime gave way to the present Dreaming and reached its maturity in Yungurra-bih-Mah's lifetime. It tells of the arrival of a colossal tribe of pale-skinned Ghost-people: a long-lost people that had disappeared from their Dreaming cycle many, many generations earlier. This chronicle begins with this legendary warrior's mission to Eora lands - to where the present-day city of Sydney sprawls - there, to meet with his uncle and clever-man: the infamous Pemulwuy, of the Bidjigal people. What they discover will change the people and the sacred Heart-rock lands forever.
