One winter, the Quiblys were attacked by a group of Zawns. Zawns inhabited the land prior to our existence and wanted to keep it that way.
Half of the Quibly population was destroyed in the battle, my father included.
The Emperor of the Zawns was also named Shrew, Chancellor Shrew's older brother.
During the course of growing up, the Chancellor lived with his mother and the Emperor lived with his father.
They were identical in every way, just raised by completely different Quiblys. The Emperor chose to convert to Zawn.
Chancellor Shrew developed and installed the Quibly community protective dome himself.
The dome prevented Zawn attacks and protected all Quiblys.
Once you exit the dome there was absolutely no protection granted to a Quibly by the Royal Guards.
This posed a problem of high magnitude, especially due to the fact that the Isolation Zone was on the outside of the dome.
