It said that in the beginning there was only the sea called the Sea. It was filled with many wondrous creatures, but one of them was far more ambitious than the others. From the sea he raised a great land, called Land. Henceforth this creature became known as the Landfish.
The new Land was inhospitable. The first that dared to touch it, remarked that it was "kinda dry". The Landfish however had planned for such a problem, and had changed it's very form to one that could survive on Land. The Landfish laid many eggs upon the Land, and its brood colonized even the driest regions. Seeing its creation ruling happily(and not realizing he didn't actually create any edible plants or food of any kind) the Landfish went to slumber in a very deep cave.
Much time passed. Most of the new creatures starved and/or died from being eaten and much knowledge was lost, including the location of the Landfish. This time of chaos was ended when the turtles brought many plants from the Sea and planted them onto the Land, ending the hunger.
You now live many thousands of years after the reign of the Landfish. The brood of the Landfish has grown into a multitude of forms, from frogs to birds, and even the new exciting humans, who managed to burn half the Land to the ground in one of their wars. But it's okay, cause they fixed it later, and held many more slightly less exciting wars.
But even this time of warfare must at some point come to an end. The old creatures of the sea, led by a very large starfish, have become envious of the realm of the Landfish, and have slowly been making their way onto land to destroy what it once created.
During this time of strife, your village was burned to the ground by angry sea snails. You managed to escape, and after resting in a ditch, you passed out and had a prophecy. You must find and awaken the Landfish, so that it may banish the creatures of the sea. It will be difficult, for the story of the Landfish is but a legend in your time, and most humans follow all these newfangled gods like the Dragon and the Angry Rock From Space. But this quest must be done to protect all of Land.
But first you must answer these questions three:
What is your name?
Who were you in your village?
How did you escape from the angry sea snails?
