The lore

In year 2030, a deep excavation project cut through some thick layers of silicon stones. This released big quantities of silicon dust into the atmosphere, causing human technology to malfunction and fostering over time the growth of silicon hybrid organisms. 

It started with Icelandic microbes, then shadow fungi proliferated. When ingested, these fungi makes animals stronger and smarter, thanks to the new ability to synthetise carbon-silicon bonds. We are now in year 2265. Some humans live together with other animals on top of Behemoth, a majestic rhino carrying a castle on its top. 

Behemoth wanders through the world, connecting some otherwise isolated cities and eating giant mushroom trees to get bigger and more resilient to silicon dust. Players take the role of rangers who are tasked with rescuing wild beasts and restoring remains of past civilization, while protecting the Behemoth.
