TRIBES OF PRIMITIVE HUMANS MEET AND FIGHT . WHEN ONE TRIBE MEETS ANOTHER, INDIVIDUALS FIGHT INSIDE A BATTLE CIRCLE. THE LOSER MUST BECOME A MEMBER OF THE VICTORIOUS TRIBE. EACH WARRIOR IS NAMED BY HIS WEAPON. WHEN SOL THE SWORD IS BESTED BY SOL OF ALL WEAPONS, HE IS RE-NAMED SOS THE ROPE. HE JOINS WITH OTHERS TO TRY TO CREATE SOMETHING GREATER THAN A WORLD OF BATTLE CIRCLES.
