As in the known and the unknown, where there is light there must also be dark in Alawan. While the age and mortality of z-creatures remain a mystery, there lies a god of Biringan, the oldest of the zigbin gods, shepherd of the dead, and judge of the scales of morality and mortality. From scorched earths and dried up seas, Biringan curses and fashions the landscape into a realm of the undead and dying.
