The Chieftain was murdered. The society held together by that leadership fractured, and the infant child who would have inherited that role was spirited away to a foreign land. Now that child is an adult and has come back — not as a leader, but as someone who wants to know what happened and make whoever did it answer for it. Feral Rites is a VR brawler set in a savage tribal world, built around that return and the violence it requires.
