As the cries of the dying echoed through the valley, a rumbling from above moved the soldier's attention. At first the suns peeked out from above, shining light upon their deeds. And then the mountain cast them in darkness.
A massive beast the size of a mountain, the Ocir'amma is nearly legendary on the planet of
Illimia. While normally a passive creature, it spends much of it's life in a state of hibernation, feeding off of the planet's natural
Indite veins. When awakened it tends to thrash, attempting to eliminate the source of the disturbance. The Ocir'amma is rarely seen to move otherwise.
It's existance has kept most settlements on Illimia to central plains, as any mountain raises suspicion just by virtue of it's being.
The prose is really evocative. I like that the legend has influenced where settlements are, since no one wants to live in the shadow of a mountain.
