Many maps and new tribes on the way.
A bright light raced across the sky, ending in a thunderous crash that echoed across the land. Weeks later, rivers started to dry up, the air developed a rancid smell, and the tribes of Zad discovered strange aliens building monstrous structures. It became clear that these new visitors were harming the planet. Some Zad tribes tried to communicate and plead with the strangers to cease their destruction. Those tribes were annihilated. The remaining tribes of Zad set aside their differences and banded together to confront this new Enemy of Zad. And so, the war began.
