Produktbeschreibung

Welcome to the Nohrlands, a stone city built by an advanced race of powerful beings called the Ancients. The Ancients built our world. They raised our great city up from the swamp. They planted the Kingsland, a garden of stone monoliths so tall they scrape the sky. And they breathed life into us and blessed us with the gift of intelligent thought. Then, they left, traveling across the Forever Bridge to worlds unknown. But we remained. My name is Jasper, and I live with my fellow orphans in a small, far-flung village south of the Great River. Life can be a struggle at times, scrounging for food in the dank ruins of a once-thriving metropolis. Avoiding the snakes that lurk in the shadows of the decrepit buildings while watching the skies for the fearsome birds of prey that roost in the rooftops. And to make matters worse, the warlord, Napoleon, is on the move, scouring this great city for a rumored relic of the Ancients powerful enough to wipe out me and my kind. Napoleon's desperate search for his prize has led him to our little village, where he has captured the village elders and tortured my friend and mentor, Dr. Long, for the whereabouts of the Ark. I'm very scared now, imprisoned away from the village in one of Napoleon's lonely jails, but I must fortify my resolve. For Dr. Long instilled in me the belief that even the meekest of us can make a profound difference in this world. Even a lowly mouse such as myself. For my father belonged to a secret society sworn to protect the Ark. The mysterious order known as... The Mice of Marrero. I am Matt Tausch, an aspiring author and animator. I work under the title of sole animator at my burgeoning animation company, Rain Dance Productions. A graduate of film school at the University of Southern Mississippi with a minor in art, I've been striving and working towards my goals and dreams of being an independent author and animator for as long as I've been around. I've spent my first years after college perfecting my craft as a screenwriter. After Hurricane Katrina completely shot me off track, I've relocated to Austin, TX, where I continue living and working to achieve my goals. I've dabbled in live-action film-making, storyboarding, graphic novels, animation, and writing.
