Beneath Arkto Farm
Details
Long ago, in the age before Man, a civilization dominated the world. But it grew decadent and dormant, abdicating its control over Earth.

Three revolutionary boars uneasily share power - Blizzard, Dumouriez, and Talleyrand - but unrest is brewing and factional conflicts are rife.
Politics is not the only issue facing the new regime. Vanya the donkey told you about the Seal of the Farm, and that the revolution had broken it. Vanya told you not to panic. He will study the broken Seal, and repair it himself.
