The year is 1879, and the dawn of a new age casts long shadows over the ancient lands of Kolob Canyon. For centuries, the mysteries of this place have remained hidden, preserved by your vigilant watch. You are SethSquatch, a being born of the canyon’s oldest secrets, keeper of the land's ancient balance, and guardian of its sacred heart. The power that runs through these sandstone cliffs and narrow, winding trails is as old as time—wild, untouched, and beyond what humans have ever known.

But change has found its way to Kolob. Driven by whispers of hidden wonders and untold riches, settlers are beginning to arrive. First come the trappers and miners, hungry for fortune; then, the surveyors with their instruments and maps, eager to chart the uncharted. These humans speak of Manifest Destiny, of progress and conquest, and their curiosity grows as they edge ever closer to Kolob’s secrets. To them, this land is just another territory waiting to be tamed, a wilderness to be measured and mapped.

Yet Kolob is not merely land. It is spirit and life, and it is bound to you. The time has come for you to decide what kind of guardian you will be. Will you cloak Kolob’s mysteries in shadows and whispers forever, letting them fade into myth? Will you adapt and evolve, blending your ancient ways with their strange, new methods? Or will you open the door to a select few, choosing allies who might share the burden of protection across generations?

As the moon rises over the towering red rocks, you feel the winds shift, and the earth stir beneath your feet. The land itself senses the change—and so must you. Your choices now will echo across centuries, shaping not only the future of Kolob but your legacy as its protector.

The settlers approach, and Kolob waits. The question is: how will you answer?
