North of India in the shadow of the great range of the Himalayas, lies the tiny, forbidden land of Shalakar. Its narrow streets swarming with men of a hundred tongues and races. Holy men from Lhasa, fire walkers from the Ganges, beggars, jugglers and yogis from the plains of Bengali to the south. Dark pagodas hide away the idols of Gods long forgotten in the world outside. Little known in the world beyond its borders, such is the last land of mystery, Shalakar.
