Plot Summary

The towering Rela Moutain range, remote an unexplored, is the home of the dreaded giant Rela bear. For centuries the Rela Pass have been home of the even more dreaded badits of Rela Pass. For centuries caravans were forced to use Rela Pass and have to pay tribute to the bandits. Today big planes pass over Rela without paying any tribute, not knowing of the bandit kingdom below.
