The Nation of Tunnar
is divided between the Geni:
traditional tribes and Agri:
clans that integrate foreign
technologies.
Maha
is born blind but with super enhanced senses. She is trained to use
her abilities to sense water sources in a nation plagued by drought.
The allied Geni tribes agree to send her from village to village to
aid in the retrieval of water which becomes a rare commodity. She is
escorted by elite guards from various of the Geni villages for
protection on her travels. Maha grows very close to her bodyguards as
they form an intimate bond through their travels.
This new initiative is
kept a secret from the Agri who are also suffering from the drought,
as the Geni fear their use of Maha would cause a great power
imbalance and endanger Maha's well being.
The Agri Dictator Shar
is pressured from the public to find a solution for the drought which
has lead to famine and economic downfall. The pressure of the public
is only enhanced by the impending election, during which he becomes
aware of the thriving Geni. He is convinced that should he force his
way into Geni and pillage their water he would start a civil war and
that if he were to ask for aid from the Geni he would come across
weak.
Shar devises a plan to
infiltrate the Geni and find how they have discovered their water
sources. He arranges for an an explosion to occur in the nations most
popular commercial district in Agri killing many of his own people.
When asked for a statement on the incident Shar reports the attack
was orchestrated by the Geni.
With the full support
of the people he is able to fund a force to retaliate against the
Geni.
Shar mounts the Agri
assault on the Geni villages taking many hostages for interrogation,
searching for the water source. He manages to find out about an
oracle who is able to locate springs underneath the earth. He pursues
the oracle across the Geni tribes until he manages to capture Maha
who is hidden among her body guards. Unsure of which of them is the
oracle, the Agri transport the party to the capital to be tortured
into revealing who the oracle is.
As they cross the walls
of Agri, Maha's bodyguards attempt to hijack the transport helicopter
causing it to crash. Unfortunately two of Maha's bodyguards die in
order to save her from the crash. One of her two surviving bodyguards
escort her from the crash and order Maha to flee towards Geni as she
returns to the crash site to distract the surviving Agri guards as
well as those arriving onto the scene.
Instead of fleeing she
feels guilt for others dying for her sake, so she braves the unknown
metropolis of Agri to rescue her bodyguards from captivity. Her lack
of sight proves challenging in her quest but her enhanced senses
allow her to traverse and combat through Agri towards her comrades.
While searching
information on her bodyguards location, Maha learns of the explosion
that Shar organised. As Maha nears closer to her bodyguards, Shar
sends stronger warriors to capture her to keep her from spreading the
secret behind the incident and use her abilites to attain power over
all of Tunnar

Maha
Born blind, Maha's
parents struggled to raise her in such a wild environment. However
upon harnessing her remaining senses they discovered her advanced
perception. As the drought started, Maha managed to find spring not
far from her village. After discovering this ability, Maha continues
honing her abilities and eventually chooses to travel with her
parents between village to village supplying them all with water. On
their travels they get attacked by bandits but are saved by a nearby
villages warrior called Nir. Maha's parents are left in comas with
severe injuries. The council of the Geni discover what Maha and her
family had been trying to achieve among the villages and assign her
four warriors from the higher villages [including Nir] to escort her
on her journeys to help the remaining villages.
