There he finds the golden seed but discovers that it has already been threshed and is therefore not viable. After successfully driving them off, he encounters several abandoned villages and arrives at place known as "castle-town." It is a deteriorating city inhabited by slavers known as "man-hunters" who prey on those who are defenseless and barter using slaves or loot from raided villages. Shuna leaves, journeying to the west over harsh landscapes astride his elk-like mount, Yakkul.Īfter countless months of traveling, he has a near fatal encounter with a group of female cannibals known as the Goor Tribe. He also explains that the grain can save his people from starvation. The magnificent golden grain is said to have originated from a land in the west where the moon resides. Before passing away, he tells Shuna how he was once a young prince in a similar position to him and how he began his quest for the living grain after encountering the previous owner of the seeds. One day, an old dying traveler arrives carrying a bag of dead golden seeds. The story opens with Shuna, the prince of a small mountain valley undergoing famine.
