Tayal

Tayal is about Cano Ladu, a young man who hopes to become a hunter like his father, Babusa Ladu. When Babusa awakens the gods around the island, they begin destroying the tribe and he disappears. Cano sets out amid the danger, still devoted to his people despite often being hated for losing control of his powers.

The Tayal and the totem

Many tribes are born in Vali. The Tayal are a fighting tribe who worship Dula, the god of nature. They use a mysterious totem to control natural forces, but it is dangerous: a person can draw only one kind on their body. Drawing two kinds at once and using their powers leads to death.

Cano can use natural forces without a totem. As a child, he often lost control of this ability and caused trouble. Babusa, his father, is the greatest hunter in the tribe’s history and a strict, taciturn leader. After awakening the gods, he destroys the tribe and disappears.
