A young hunter Ubadu lived in his 'Deadland', Kukro. Nothing he did in that land succeeded. One day, while he was hunting, he had an encounter with the gods which turned his life around. However, he broke the laws of the gods and he was going to die for his sin. He then pleaded that the gods spare his life and make his descendants pay for his sins. Many hundred years have gone by and from each of the generations that came after him, the gods picked one person to bear the mark of the curse.
