The game is about two creature races, the Splatians and the Ansuz-Ingwaz clan and their conflict about the mythical Rainbow Powder. They both believe that it belongs to them, they both do everything to study this substance, but the truth is that only Splatians can benefit from its true magic properties. Though, Lord Ashen is named such for a reason and his pure evilness will turn an obstacle for the good will of Splatians. Or maybe not?(Storyline via IGDB)
