Who do you want to believe in?
Waka'Tua - Guardian of abundance and dread, said to have shaped nature itself. He can spear lightning straight between an enemy’s eyes, or give your sailboat a little “zap” so it can sail fast across the sea.
Mrrgur - The Guardian of corruption, born from pollution. He can forcibly contaminate the island to gain resources, or foul the sea to devour your enemies. At times, even the invaders succumb to the lure of Corruption.
Atheists- Some groups on the island believes that relying on Guardian Spirits is harmful to humans. They believes only sailboats and handmade weapons will save our island from the enemy.
Sea, It Self - "Land is but a fleeting dream; eventually, the whole world shall return to the sea!"
The formless will of water, the primordial sea itself that embraces the island.
It offers a warm sanctuary to those who serve, while drowning foes in tidal waves to become their final resting place.
Heart of earth - Do you hear it? The sound of the red heart seething beneath the cold rocky shell!"
The beating heart of the island deep underground, and the guardian of lava flowing like veins.
He melts enemies into ash with overwhelming volcanic eruptions,
and raises solid barriers of cooled lava to protect the island.
You can also pray to many other Guardians and ask for their help.
4 Guardians and the Atheist!
14 Weapons!
30 Relics & Divines!
10 Species of Enemy Boats!
