On an alien world there is a mountain filled with jungle. In the middle of that mountain stood a small conical mountain which is bathed in light during the morning. It was found by a small herd of sixteen creatures known as Primes marched into. Each of which could make use of tools but in the end had a limited animal intelligence. Together, however they can think together. Each of their four organs on their sensor stalks that allow them to link their nervous systems. They found the mountain and made it's way toward it and its clear streams. They walked up the mountain, found a small pool and followed the instructions they were given. They dug out a small pool and four of the creatures (or Motiles) fused together into one large stationary creature known as an Emotile cared for by the other twelve. Their limbs atrophied away, their brains melded and grew and reproductive organs grew from nacent nubs into fully functional. In five weeks it had completed it's fusion and commanded it's herd while giving birth to what would grow into new Motiles in an amalgamation pool. After growing to full size they would walk onto land, be taken to the Emotile which would grasp their neural links to fill them with a simplified version of it's mind and give it instructions. The jungles would be cut back, farms would be established and the walls of the valley would be quarried for stone and mined for metal. Soon workshops would be set up where tools and weapons would be made.



Thus a new entity arose that would be known by others of it's kind by it's location: MorningLightMountain. But this is just the beginning of it's tale
