From publisher blurb: TUSKED MORTALITY The Suidar are the porcine people originating from the Negative Sphere, the dark and twisted version of Ghaistala. The grimness of life upon the Negative Sphere oppresses even its own denizens, imprisoning them in hopelessness and agony. That was the way of life for the Suidar until the Preceptress, an ancient Suidar philosopher and teacher, led them out of the shadow of the Negative Sphere and into the hopeful light of Ghaistala. Core to the culture of many Suidar lies in the teachings of The Preceptress, the enlightened teacher and saviour of the Suidar, leading them out of the oppression of the Negative Sphere. She is immortalized in the memories of many Suidar, especially the Triad-Tusked Suidar. Some even revere her as a God-like entity who had reached True Enlightenment, fearlessness in the face of death.
