DEV>Riders of the apocalypse: Famine

[RSS-feed]

"I am a hunger... so deep that no food can sate it, a thirst... so great that no fluid can quench it, a void in the soul... so large that nothing can fill it. I am Kuwa Na Njaa, the herald of Famine!"

"What need have I of locusts anymore? When the people of the land consume all there is by themselves, more effectively than any swarm I could ever muster."
 - Kuwa, when asked by his brethren about his new approach to world starvation.


In the modern age, the four horsemen work in more devious ways than in ancient times. Scheming behind the curtains instead of openly marching their armies across the lands.

Kuwa na Njaa has made it his companies public image to lobby for agricultural improvements in poor areas.
industrialisation and mechanisation in  the farming communities has increased under his leadership, however, all is not what it would seem.
VENTURA FAMIS long term goal is to create a worldwide monoculture with the aide of one their collaborators, PLAGA, who has engineered a genetic switch into the grain VENTURAE FAMIS provides to their farmers, which, at the point chairman Kuwa decides that a large enough percentage of the worlds population is dependant on his crops for survival,  will turn the crops poisonous and inedible, killing all the flora and fauna in the vicinity.
