In DAKARI resides a bioluminescent jungle called DAKO’s Den… The DAKOs have only ever known their jungle. Each feathered little creature was born in the hued lit trunk and taught to live amongst the trees and vines. They are capable of scaling the tallest of trees to reach the ripest of fruits. Their footsteps are so light that no creature could hear them coming. Their features were so strong that they could glide from the treetops down to the jungle floor without so much as a scratch. DAKO’s life revolved around finding and collecting rare tribal gems found scattered throughout their den. They’d search the highest branches of the tallest trees, the deepest banks of the loudest rivers and behind the biggest mounds of the densest rocks. These gems are not only used as a barter system for DAKO’s and establish a hierarchy amongst the tribe, they also contain potent elements that power each DAKO’s unique abilities. These gems are referred to as $DAK’s. Once they reach adulthood, each DAKO is decorated with their own tribal symbols to reflect their unique personality. But every DAKO pup often wonders the same question once they come of age…“What’s behind the vines?” If you scurry far enough through DAKO’s Den, you are met by the same thing… a thick wall of vines. Too thick to squeeze past. Too tall to climb over. Too deep to dig under. The vine walls were exactly as they were described… walls. A freak of nature? Designed to keep the DAKOs in? Or designed to keep threats out? No one knew. There wasn’t a DAKO alive that could remember a time before the vines. But there was also no DAKO alive who didn’t dream of what may be waiting beyond them… Many believed they would never see the day… but little do they know, that day is coming sooner than they expect… ## DAKO's Den
