Kilikgronja, the land of the Cyclops. Known in
the past as noble and proud beings loyal to their Goddess Gronja. Gronja love
them so much she gave them her blessings, therefore they would be able to see
the future. However after Ragnarok and Gronja’s disappearance this blessing
became a curse.
The
Cyclops still possessed those clairvoyant’s powers but slowly they went insane,
tormented by those visions. Many decided to isolated themselves, mitigating
their sufferings. However, the “Call of Gronja” still affects them through
their lives.
When
they reach a certain point of maturity, the Cyclops became extremely savages
and lost control. This event is very dangerous if someone is close to it, even
more if we take into account that Cyclops never stop growing and a late call
can affect a huge and overwhelming specimen. It is said the origin of this huge
Cyclops can be found in the wastelands on Pythia and that are used in Hamuset
as pack animals.
Nowadays,
Kilikgronja, The tit of Gronja, is a lonely and sad land. Close to the
mountain, the old Cyclops Settlements and their old capital city of Mahaur are
abandoned most of the time as they wander their homeland waiting for the Call.
They almost spent no time with their fellow Cyclops. When they go crazy (also
called as the 2nd phase) their biggest effort is to climb the Great
Mountain. No one knows why.
They’ve got
good relationships, though sporadic, with the Salinos, nomads living around the
Great Mountain but closer to the sea. This nomads flee from Hamuset, on the
north, always in need of slaves.
Their
future is uncertain. They’ve got no motivations more than live their lives as
calm as possible. Still, thanks to technological improvements some of them have
travel to other countries as fighters, attractions, workers but mainly in
pursue of knowledge to end their curse. Many think this is an error as they
discover how the Call of Gronja alienate their minds.
