The natives of the island of Oagoo had been a stagnant society until a few ambitious tribe members began expanding their world. Being islanders, they naturally became seafarers, moving from dugouts to hide boats and evermore efficient vessels. Their wandering brought them into contact with new minerals and food sources to supply the growing population. The biggest discovery, however, was that Oagoons were not the only people in the world.
The aggressive Moogites eventually coexisted with the Oagoons on a new island. Until over centuries, the volcano and the Moogites forced the latter-day Oagoon leader Igon to choose whether to fight, become subservient, or to find another alternative.
