Storyline:

Totem cave Neandertalus - home of Krapina Neanderthals. This extinct tribe wondered the Earth throughout prehistoric times “when” this deathmatch is placed. 

Liandri's daughter company Loquara managed to push the limits of safe time travel as far as 100.000 years back in history. Head person behind this company is famous Loque who, after retirement from fighting in Unreal Tournament, succeed to organize quite few good ones. And historical events were his favorite. One thing must be known here. Non-mechanoid players in a time displacement are less precise, less alert and less strong, proportional to the length of displacement itself. Neandertalus was a prefect spot due to its natural conditions and surroundings.

The deathmatch is played under the pulsating effect of a double star system Capella, which was quite strong in prehistoric time. Interaction between these stars can produce forced gamma-ray bursts (high energy photon wave) that after 40 years of travel, through pure void, meet the particles from our world. The effect is visible right above as aura from another star. Aura itself contains millions of short living monoids that scatter through the atmosphere and slowly oxidizing on their way to the ground. A small amount of nerve-gas is produced in this oxidation. Acting like a nerve stimulants this gas highly compensates the time displacement effect, giving all players same conditions. Unfortunately Neandertalus is one of few places where the Earth’s magnetic field, the angle of gamma wave and the atmospheric conditions allow the monoids to reach the ground before they dissolve.

Neanderthals, on the other hand, used this cave purely as healing area. Their advanced tribal society repelled to any form of violence.
