Alpacan Mountains
Reaching thousands of feet into the sky, the snow-capped
peaks of the Alpacan Mountains form one of the largest mountain
chains in the world. Known for their majestic beauty, the
Alpacan Mountains cover hundreds of square miles and are interspersed
among a series of lakes, forests, and barren flats dotted
with mud pits. Cross-currents and dangerous updrafts make
the Alpacan range a tricky area for pilots to traverse. The
Alpacan Mountains are home to several unique varieties of
animals, including a rare species of giant condor. (See
the entry in the "Creatures" section for more details.)
Nestled among the mountains are numerous small villages and
towns, many of which are adjacent to forested areas. Deep
within one of these forests lies a secret ancient temple,
supposedly the resting place of the legendary Idol of Doom.

Long ago, according to local legend, a powerful sorcerer
constructed a terrible weapon called the "Idol of Doom."
Using this device, the sorcerer was able to summon great destruction
upon the inhabitants of the land. Finally, the people rose
up and took the Idol from its maker, but they were unable
to destroy the mystical statue. Instead they built a secret
temple deep within the forests of the Alpacan Mountains, to
hide the Idol until the day that a hero — the "Great
Llama" — would destroy the evil forever.
Concealed near a swamp area somewhere in the Alpacan jungles,
the secret temple consisted of a labyrinth of wind tunnels,
designed to confuse intruders and lead them in circles. Only
by following the directions on an ancient scroll could one
locate the central chamber, where upon a pedestal sat the
legendary Idol of Doom. Undisturbed for centuries, the temple
collapsed when the villainous El Gato seized the Idol and
used its destructive powers to make good his escape.
