NGIMUROK - A VR Game Story.

In the undulating landscape of vivid red sandstones by the shores of the great salt lake Anam Ka'alakol,  lies an ancient sacred mound nestled between two prominent ridges of dark volcanic rock. A ring of boulders defines the mound’s edges; rock pillars demarcate its center where a huge fire eerily lights up the landscape.

A group of young neophytes, marked with sacred sigils of ochre, mustard and charcoal gather around a ritual fire Inlaid with an obsidian rock that burns white hot. In unison they hum a tune that they have heard in their sleep through every full moon for the last solar cycle. They are the ones who have heeded the sacred calling from their dreaming and have come to partake of this ancient ritual. 

The great invocation is a tradition as old as time in the memory of the clan. It is held every solar cycle at the time of the red moon right after the season of humid heat - just before the rains. The great entities of the 4 directions are invited to take possession of the initiates who have been chosen to become Ngimurok - those who channel the message of the gods.

The ceremony is overseen by the spiritual elder of the clan, a medicine man who belongs to a long lineage of seers. He has prepared a mixture of potent herbs - entheogen that he administers with prayer that  sends the initiates into a placid trance.

After an eternal pause of long observation and mutterings directed to the fire. The large obsidian rock with great noise cracks emiting a whirling rising blue flame that quickly fades into the night. That is the signal. The shaman then proceeds to sing the music of the gods out a loud. Line by line he teaches the entranced youths its secret words. 

By moonset after a thousand choral chantings, the initiates awaken to a joyous realization. No longer is the music a distance echo in their head - the hauntings of their dreaming. But they have now become the embodiment of the great and beautiful cosmic mystery, the rhythm of which vibrates in their very being.
