*[[Image:Dreamstone.png|right|100px|thumb|What dreams are made of]]The substance known as [[Dreamstone]] causes the evolution of complex lifeforms on the planet, as well as the emergence of no less than two sentient species: humans and [[Reptite]]s. Reptites evolve first from the dominant reptile species. Humans evolve slowly from apes. Due to the difference in their development, the Reptite civilization comes into being first, and the Reptites begin hunting and killing humans in order to maintain dominance. After untold centuries or millennia, only two human tribes remain: the Ioka and the Laruba. The Ioka survive by breeding through strength - the strongest of them is their chief - while the Laruba survive by hiding from the Reptites. | *[[Image:Dreamstone.png|right|100px|thumb|What dreams are made of...]]The substance known as [[Dreamstone]] causes the evolution of complex lifeforms on the planet, as well as the emergence of no less than two sentient species: humans and [[Reptite]]s.
