The discoveries at Big Claw created a schism amongst the ever-peaceful Bolvins of the expedition team. Most were elated by the opportunity to learn more from the Chi’Khan tribes and their about undeniably real chicken deity, said to have given birth to all known life in the Bitlands. Others had more nefarious plans from the beginning and would become Lord Malakrogg’s Vanguard that sought to control the extreme mutative effects of the Pale Yolk and play with creation itself.

However, a much smaller third group of explorers and scientists alike found themselves in such awe that something so truly divine could even exist that they descended into a fanatical cult of worshippers. What started as an effort to simply keep the mighty god appeased, grew into an enlightenment that this being existed somewhere between the Bolvins’ concepts of life and death. They now see themselves as pilgrims on a path to channel even a fraction of this holy beast’s might and ascend to a higher level of cosmic existence.
