The earth had undergone a sudden and brutal ice age some million years before. Human beings were wiped out...only some of their artifacts survived. Decimillanians were what had evolved from canines. They had begun excavations in the various regions still coated in ice. On today's dig, Ultaminum discovered what appeared to be a mode of transportation deep within the icy beneath. All to survive was a strange item. They believed it might have been an idol of some deity, but they weren't certain. Humans often had all manner of strange fuzzy figures like this. They could only guess why.
