Once upon a time, there was a beautiful farming village, full of life and vitality, of people and rich, potent farmland. This village had a small goddess of the harvest who looked over her life and her villagers with both content care and a highly defensive nature. But of course, things move on and times change, and the village declined, the people left, and things slowed down. No followers, no harvest, and little for a goddess to do.

So she retired, sat back on the porch, and watched sunsets.

And when life came back to the village, a new harvest goddess was born, young and fresh, to care for it. So no one really questioned an old lady still attached to the village helping bring it back to life and work. But the old goddess ("Call me Auntie.") is still around, and while she's definitely looking her age these days, she can still wield a kanabo like when she's young and fertile. Trouble her village and her new little protege at your own peril.
