Wotan never quite fit in with the tribe of the Moon people. He was descended from a mixture of his fair haired, light eyed people of the moon, but mixed in with that was the blood of the Nubians from the far south. His own tribe are hunters, but don't choose to war on others. The Nubians come up, year after year, stealing and looting from the Moon folk, and the other tribes of the northlands.

At last, Wotan leads a band of Moon warriors to the south for vengeance, and to stop future raids. But the wizardry of those hot desert and jungle tribes makes it a tough job to tackle. Luckily, it seems as though the sun and the moon are both on the side of this small band of early men.

Then, they are attacked by their hereditary enemies, the Nubian peoples of the far south. Again! Away on a hunting trip, Wotan returns to find his tribal homeland robbed, and most of his people slain by the Nubian invaders. But this time, he convinces the others to follow the invaders back to their own homelands, and eventually to the evil city of Meroe, who decides to decimate the northern inferior people once and for all.
