Required reading before continuing: Owning Land and Conquering Open Plots
Become the permanent landlord of a plot of Banana Kingdom land in one of our 4 regions by owning a Battle Kong. Kong's are 12,000 randomly generated PFP avatars with over 750 unique rarity traits, hand designed by Canadian artist Stevo over a 7 month period from 2021-2022. Battle Kong holders receive 20% of all 6 game tokens spent on their land as well as all the features of the land dashboard below. Battle Kong's will be releasing on Ethereum V2 later in 2022, specific date TBA.
This dashboard allows you to do an array of things that increase earnings and player retention. Enjoy!
New players are randomly assigned to a plot of land based on an algorithm that distributes new players evenly across each region. Land owners have the ability to recruit new players from outside the game, and when that player begins the game, they begin on the land owners plot. This feature is useful if the land owner has friends, family, or an attractively developed plot of land.
Land owners can kick any wanderer or tribe from their land. These kicked players are moved to the closest open plot of land. This feature is useful if your plot's maxed out with non active players, or if you want to allow a specific tribe or player access to your plot but there isn't any space.
Land owners have the ability to communicate with all Wanderers and Tribal Chiefs on their land. This is key when it comes to asset lending and tournament strategy.
Land owners will have the ability to lend any weapon or gear item they've crafted - or bought in the Marketplace - to any player on their land. This feature not only enhances a player, or tribes ability to win in PvP or TvT (tribe vs tribe) battles, it helps an active land owner increase their earnings.
Once a monthly tournament begins, all tribes are locked to the plot of land they occupy. If a tribe on your land wins the tournament, you receive 10% of the prize pool. This is all trackable through your land dashboard.
Builder NFT holders have a unique purpose within the game, they're peaceful by nature, and all about protecting players, and preventing losses in battle. We won't give away all the details but we'll say this, as a land owner you'll be able to collaborate with Builders to craft defensive buffs that you can apply to all players on your land. Builders and land owners will be able to earn more from this collab.
In addition to the utility above, Battle Kong holders enjoy personal and commercial intellectual property rights to their individual Kong's art. IP Rights in Detail: See Battle Kong IP Rights.
There is a private Discord channel for all Battle Kong holders.
3,000 Apex Kong's will be available for minting after the sale of the Battle Kong's. Apex Kong's allow you to protect a plot of open land you've conquered. Apex Kong's are only available to Battle Kong holders who hold 1 Battle Kong from each of the Kingdom's 4 regions. The cost to mint will be 1/2 the price of a Battle Kong, plus gas.
Tribal Rank NFTs determine your rank within a tribe, within a specific region, within the game. They come in two editions: The KongQuest Founders Edition & Kingdom Players Edition.
KongQuest Founders Edition Rank NFTs are fully animated and there are 100 variations to choose from in total. Each rank in each region has 5 sub-editions. Mintpasses can be bought in the KongQuest app. Mintpass holders can mint these when the KongQuest ends. The entire animated KFE game set has a 128,000 Max Supply made up of 4,000 Chieftains, 4,000 Oracles, 8,000 Commanders, 32,000 Builders and 80,000 Warriors broken up equally across 4 regions within the game. This set was released in November 2021.
Technical Note: These can only be accessed in the KongQuest.
Kingdom Players Edition Rank NFTs retain the same in-game utility as the KongQuest Founders Edition. The art comes in 25 non-animated variations made up of each rank's Sub-Edition #1 base art. The entire animated KPE game set (like the founders edition) has a 128,000 Max Supply made up of 4,000 Chieftains, 4,000 Oracles, 8,000 Commanders, 32,000 Builders and 80,000 Warriors broken up equally across 4 regions within the game. made up of 128,000 are 25 non-animated variations to choose from in total. These won't become available when the founders edition sells out but rather, when the games active player base reaches 128,000. Projected release of this set is late 2023 to first half of 2024.
As we mentioned in the last section, there are 5 classes of tribes in the Banana Kingdom: The Unknown, The Settled, The Elite, The Kong's, and the Apex's. These 5 classes are known as "Regional Status" classes. For your tribe to enter into one of the upper 4 regional status classes, you have to lead your tribe into battle for the NFT, or buy it on the open market. Chieftains and their tribe members who attain a higher status class for their tribe will reap the benefits of higher earnings in many ways.
The majority of the games Tribal Chieftains won't belong to any status class. It's unknown where they may venture to, what lands they may conquer, and what class they belong to. All chiefs begin the game as a great big Unknown — but with the potential to rise through the classes, and ultimately rule the Kingdom.
In short, being an Unknown chief leading an unknown tribe just means that your status class is unknown. Your tribe is capped at 10 members with the exception of the 12 tribes that win their regional Tournaments and enter the Tournament of the Apex's for a shot at the throne, and Kingdom's largest prize pool. You also earn 2% of all tokens your tribe spends on crafting and your Oracles earn 1%.
Ahead of the Game: Win one in the KongQuest
Later On: Buy one on the open market.
In the Game: Win one in TvT (tribe vs tribe) Class Warfare against a Settled Tribe.
There are 4 classes in the Kingdom and then there are 4 types of Regional Status class NFTs and they're based on the 4 regions: Bananatopia, Neverian Peaks, Kong Steppe and Apex City. A Chieftain must hold the Regional Status NFT for it to be activated in-game. Chieftains in each region must also hold that regions corresponding class NFT in order to utilize it in the game. Ex. An Apexian Chief, needs an Apexian Status NFT.
With the complex math out of the way, lets get into the status classes, starting with the Settled Status class.
Additional benefits of belonging to one of the four status classes is shown in the Monthly Tournaments & Additional Earnings by Class sections on each Tribal Rank page.
The Settled Status class is the largest of the four classes comprised of 250 tribes per region. It's the first worlds version of the middle class and it's a relatively peaceful class of hardworking Apes who enjoy a 10 member buffer of protection against Unknown tribes. Unknown tribes generally don't target Settled tribes, they're often too busy trying to overthrow the Apex Tribes and dethrone the Ruler of the Banana Kingdom.
The settled have 20 members each. Settled tribes can fight can fight any against any settled, elite, kong or apex tribe in their region – for Banana Tokens or control of that regions open land plots. They can accept status challenges from unknown tribes for Banana Tokens. They can also fight vertically against tribes of a higher status, in an attempt to strip the higher status tribe of their status in an all our war to get to the top in that region.
The Elite Status class is the second largest of the four classes comprised of 150 tribes per region. It's the first worlds version of the upper-middle class. Elites tend to focus on land conquering and building up to the next class in order to achieve the higher prize tournament-rewards and the additional 10 members that help with further land taking.
The elite have 30 members each. Elite tribes can fight any against any elite, kong or apex tribe in their region – for Banana Token or control of that regions land plots. They can accept status challenges from unknown or settled tribes for Banana Tokens. They can also fight vertically against tribes of a higher status, in an attempt to strip the higher status tribe of their status in an all our war to get to the top in that region.
The Kong Status class is the third largest of the four classes comprised of 75 tribes per region. It's the first worlds version of the upper class. Kong's (AKA Battle Kong's) because their members typically own a Battle Kong or 2 tend to focus on the throne and getting into the Apex Status class.
The kong tribes have 40 members each. Kong tribes can fight any against any kong or apex tribe in their region – for Banana Token or control of that regions land plots. They can accept status challenges from unknown, settled or elite tribes for Banana Tokens. They can also fight vertically against tribes of a higher status, in an attempt to strip the higher status tribe of their status in an all our war to get to the top in that region.
The Apex Status class is the most exclusive of the four classes comprised of only 25 tribes per region. It's the first world version of the ruling elite class. Apex's typically own land and totems, and focus on regional domination and the throne.
The apex tribes have 50 members each. Apex tribes can fight any against any apex tribe in their region – for Banana Token or control of that regions land plots. They can accept status challenges from unknown, settled, elite or kong tribes for Banana Tokens. Unlike other classes they can't fight for a higher status other than ruler of the Kingdom in the Tournament of the Apex's.
Game access will happen on a rolling basis, below are the NFTs you'll need to get access and when that access will be granted.
Our Battle Kong landlord NFT holders will get the first look at the game, and access to their land development dashboards in 2023.

Tribal Chieftains are the leaders of the game. Collaborating with their Tribe and Land Owners to reach the Apex pinnacle of the game: Ruler of the Banana Kingdom.
Chieftain NFT holders are the only players in the game able to launch their own tribe. Starting out as an Unknown Chieftain leading a tribe of up to 10 players in the unique region marked on their NFT. Chieftains will grow and lead a tribe into battle for land, status and big monthly tournament prizes.
Let's talk class. In the Kingdom, there are 5 classes of tribes: The Unknown, The Settled, The Elite, The Kong's, and the Apex's. These 5 classes are known as "Regional Status" classes. For your tribe to enter into one of the 4 regional status classes, you have to lead your tribe into battle for the status class NFT, or buy it on the open market. Chieftains who attain a higher status class for their tribe will reap the benefits of higher earnings in many ways.
See Regional Status NFTs for more.
The majority of the games Tribal Chieftains won't belong to any status class. It's unknown where they may venture to, what lands they may conquer, and what class they belong to. All chiefs begin the game as a great big Unknown — but with the potential to rule the Kingdom.
Chieftains earn the highest percentage of all tokens expended by players in their tribe. That percentage goes up for Chieftains who conquer land. See the 2 earnings sections below.
Tribes with no regional status get to compete in the Tournament of the Unknown. Held monthly, it's the most unique tournament in the Kingdom. The top 3 winning tribes in each region are allowed to recruit 40 Wanderers from their region and will go on to compete in Tournament of the Apex's, getting a chance at the Kingdom's biggest monthly prize pool and a shot at dethroning the Ruler of the Banana Kingdom. Unknown tribes working together with the Kingdom's Wanderers are the only players (outside of Apex Tribes) that get a clear shot at the throne without being in an Apex Tribe.
Read the backstory that led to this tournament in the "Wanderers" section of the Story Mode page.
Chieftains who conquer land get 15% of all tokens spent on that land by all players in or outside of their tribe. Their Oracles get 3% and another 2% goes into their Commander Armory.
Chieftains can challenge any other Chieftain of the same class or higher in PvP battle and accept fights from any Oracle. Winning can net you either Banana Token or the opponents Tribal Rank NFT, and in some instances both.
Chieftains can also initiate tribal battle, whenever they'd like, against any other land holding tribe within their region (of the same class or higher) in TvT battle for land. They can also challenge any other tribe of the same class to a fight for Status and Banana Tokens, and accept fights from other Tribes of the same or of a lower status. Note: tribes of the same status cannot fight each other for their own status NFTs.

We've made sure to map out dozens of sustainable ways to earn in the game via the ownership of different Banana Kingdom assets. Banana Kingdom assets that'll help you earn include Tribal Rank NFTs, our Regional Status NFTs, our Land NFTs and our Wanderer NFTs. In the coming sections we'll go over each asset in depth.
To play the game (at a minimum) you need a Wanderer NFT, holding a Wanderer NFT gives you access to the game, and unlocks your weapon-and-gear crafting dashboard, story mode, battle mode, and the Builder and Oracle marketplaces. So lets begin by talking about accessing the game, and who gets access first.
Oracles are second to the chief in every tribe and have a very unique privilege in the Kingdom...
Having an Oracle NFT gives you a special privilege unlike any other in the Kingdom: the ability to enhance weapons with the Shard Essence Token and being part of a tribe unlocks that feature for your fellow tribe members. As an Oracle, you also have the ability to craft alchemic gear. This gear set will open up an entire world of possibilities through your Oracle dashboard.
As an Oracle, you get access to a unique dashboard where you can fill the weapon-and-gear enhancement requests of any player, of any rank or status in your region. Oracle-less tribes and Wanderers looking for an edge will be able to post requests for your services or browse enhancement services you offer.
Leveling up your alchemic gear will allow you to charge more for higher level enhancements in your region. Merging similar alchemic gear of the same class from the 4 regions will net you Kingdom alchemic gear, allowing you to enhance weapons and gear from all over the Kingdom, not just within your region.
Being an Oracle within a tribe has even greater benefits. Oracles are entitled to a percentage of all tokens their tribe spends on crafting - depending on what status class their tribe belongs to. See the Earnings by Class section below.
Read more about Kingdom weapons and gear in the "Merging Weapons & Gear" section.
Oracles in a tribe that conquers land get 3% of all tokens spent on that land by all players in or outside of their tribe. Another 2% goes into their Commander Armory.
Oracles can challenge any other Oracle or Chieftain of the same class or higher (outside of their tribe) in PvP battle and accept fights from any Commander. Winning can net you either Banana Token or the opponents Tribal Rank NFT, and in some instances both.
Oracles of an Apex Tribe earn 5% of all tokens spent on crafting by their tribe members. Oracles of an Apex Tribe also receive 15% of the tokens won in the Tournament of the Apex's.

For more info on Status Classes, see the Regional Status Class page.
Bananatopian Oracles’ are feared even by their own tribe members. Their wisdom and power come from highly guarded secrets passed down from one Oracle to the next from the Great Kong himself. Once learned, their attacks are nearly unstoppable in battle. Mint passes can be bought at a significant discount if you're able to unlock them in your Pre-Game KongQuest. Available total supply is 1000.

Mint passes can be bought at a significant discount if you're able to unlock them in your Pre-Game KongQuest. Available total supply is 1000.
The mystical order of Kongite Oracles is legendary in the Kingdom. Few are chosen and even fewer survive the spiritual transformation required to become a Kongite Oracle, but those that do are revered and respected by their tribes and their enemies alike. Legend says that the most powerful Oracles have the ability to transform themselves into an ancient dragon on the battlefield. Mint passes can be bought at a significant discount if you're able to unlock them in your Pre-Game KongQuest. Available total supply is 1000.
Apexian Oracles are the first generation of AI beings in the Kingdom. Nearly impossible to destroy, they are able to transfer their consciousness into other Oracles or machines.

Mint passes can be bought at a significant discount if you're able to unlock them in your Pre-Game KongQuest. Available total supply is 1000.
Commanders and Warriors are like family. They live, train, eat and fight together.
Commanders enable Warriors to fight, which makes them responsible for the Warriors in their tribe. As a Commander, you'll have a unique ability that only land owners have: The ability to lend weapons and gear to your warriors from your personal stash, or from the Commanders Armory. Bolstering that strong fighting spirit at the lowest ranks through lending is to your tribes advantage, and to yours as well. You'll see why in the next section.
Level 1 Commanders can lend their own weapons and gear to Warriors under their command. Level 3 Commanders will unlock the Commanders armory. An armory that's funded passively through your tribes conquering and battling. Use the armory to craft the right weapons and gear to lend to Warriors under your command.
In addition, Warriors of tribes with more than 1 Commander get to choose their Commander when they're accepted into the tribe. Commanders get an overview of a warriors PvP fighting stats. How many battles they've had, and won. Commanders who aren't satisfied with their new recruit can kick them from their unit, sending them back to the tribes warrior applicant pool where another commander can accept them or not.
Warriors will be involved in more PvP battle than anyone in the Kingdom. Constantly challenged by Wanderers, a Warrior is constantly in battle. Commanders will receive 4% of all Banana Tokens earned by their Warriors in any type of battle except for tournament battle. Through unit building, asset lending and Armory curating, a Commander can build quite a formidable fighting force, and earn from it.
Commanders of a tribe that conquers land enjoy a fully funded armory. 2% of all tokens spent on crafting on tribe controlled land by all players on that land goes into the Commander Armory Treasury. Each tribes Commander has a separate Treasury and Armory they control. If they leave the tribe, funds and the armory stays with the tribe and can be utilized by the next Commander.
Commanders can challenge any other Commander, or Oracle of the same class (outside of their tribe) in PvP battle and accept fights from any Builder. Winning can net them either Banana Token or the opponents Tribal Rank NFT, and in some instances both.
Commanders of an Apex Tribe split a 20% pool of the tokens won in the Tournament of the Kong's.
Commanders of a Kong Tribe split a 20% pool of the tokens won in the Tournament of the Kong's.
Commanders of an Elite Tribe split a 20% pool of the tokens won in the Tournament of the Elite.
Weapons and Gear won in the Tournament of the Settled is distributed by your Chief.
Tournament of the Apex's Prize Pool applies if your tribe is one of the 12 regional tribes to win the Tournament of the Unknown.
Having a Builder NFT allows you a more open world experience than others, whether you're part of a tribe or not.
Being a Builder unlocks the ability to collaborate and earn from perimeter defense construction, and land-wide defensive buff crafting jobs posted by land owners, totem holders and land conquerors. In short, Builders are in charge of defense construction for the entire Kingdom.
Builders are also the only players that can craft tools that allow them to build across their region. Combining similar tools of the same class from the 4 regions allows builder to craft a Kingdom tool which opens up an entire map of earnings possibilities.
The benefits of being a builder are enhanced by being part of a tribe. Builders that are part of a tribe with an Oracle enjoy the ability to craft tools and defensive buffs of a much higher caliber with Shard Essence token. Oh and there's the monthly tournament prize pools as well.

There are 3 ways to own and control land in the game: 1. Own a plot 2. Conquer and protect a plot with a totem and 3. Conquer and defend a plot from other players who want your turf.
The game will have a max land supply of 24,000 plots. 12,000 plots are ownable, predetermined non-moveable locations with feature packed land-owner dashboards governed by you: the Battle Kong of that land.
The other 12,000 plots in the game are open land plots. They can't be traded or sold as a traditional NFT, instead, the land plots remain open for players to conquer.
Players who conquer one of these 12,000 open plots of land and own an Apex Kong Totem can enjoy all the land-owner benefits of a Battle Kong holder including not having to defend it from anyone. Totems can also be moved from any one conquered plot, to another conquered plot, anywhere on the map, at any time. So if you need to build up a defending tribe on a plot you conquered, you can, before you move on to the next one.
Players who don't own a Battle Kong, or a totem, can conquer open land just like anyone else, but they'll need a strong enough tribe to defend it from the takeover attempts of other hungry tribes.
Each plot at the start of the game - when we launch - has the capacity for 50 players. Your plots capacity for players will double with each doubling of the games player base. This is the main reason for the low amount of total plots. It's also a major value add for land owners, totem holders and conquering tribes.
Read on to learn more about the NFTs themselves, your rights as a holder, and the features of your land dashboard...

Apex Kong's were once the titans of the world, massive beasts that roamed the planet until the Wasteland Kong began a brutal war. Now only a few remain. The protective energy of the Apex Kong's are channeled through your totem. Apex Kong Totem holders who conquer an open plot receive 20% of all tokens spend on their land as well as all the features of their land dashboard below.

Totem holders have the same land dashboard as Battle Kong holders - with the exception of the prize pool percentage of 8%, totem holders receive 5% - so if you've read the previous page, you can skip this part. If not, check it out, it's well worth the read.
New players are randomly assigned to a plot of land based on an algorithm that distributes new players evenly across each region.

This feature is useful if the land owner has friends, family or an attractively developed plot of land.
Land owners can kick any wanderer or tribe from their land. These kicked players are moved to the closest open plot of land. This feature is useful if your plot's maxed out with non active players, or if you want to allow a specific tribe or player access to your plot but there isn't any space.
Land owners have the ability to communicate with all Wanderers and Tribal Chiefs on their land. This is key when it comes to asset lending and tournament strategy.
Land owners will have the ability to lend any weapon or gear item they've crafted - or bought in the Marketplace - to any player on their land. This feature not only enhances a player, or tribes ability to win in PvP or TvT (tribe vs tribe) battles, it also helps an active land owner increase their earnings.
Once a monthly tournament begins, all tribes are locked to the plot of land they occupy. If a tribe on your land wins the tournament, you receive 5% of the prize pool. This is all trackable through your land dashboard.
You'll be able to collaborate with Builders on land-wide defense systems that add a defensive perimeter to the land, should you be ready to move your totem. You'll sleep better knowing you've got a conquered plot more heavily defended.
Only tribes can conquer land.

Required reading before continuing: Owning Land and Conquering Open Plots
To get access to a special land dashboard plus 20% of all tokens spent by players who live on your plot.
Unlike the Kong and totem dashboards, you won't be able to recruit new players from outside the game to this wild plot you've conquered. However, you will be able to allow players to teleport from anywhere in the Kingdom, to your plot through your dash.
Land conquerors can kick any wanderer from their land. These kicked players are moved to the closest open plot of land. This feature is useful if your plot's maxed out with non-active players, or if you want to allow a specific tribe or player access to your plot but there isn't any space.
Land conquerors have the ability to communicate with all Wanderers and Tribal Chiefs on their land.
Once a monthly tournament begins, all tribes are locked to the plot of land they occupy. If a tribe on your land wins the tournament, you receive 3% of the prize pool. This is all trackable through your land dashboard.
You'll be able to collaborate with Builders on land-wide defense systems that add a defensive perimeter to the land you've conquered. You'll sleep better knowing you've got a conquered plot more heavily defended.
Only tribes can conquer land.
Wanderers are former wastelanders disaffected with the rule of the Wasteland Kong. Arriving by the thousands they've taken an oath and pledged fealty to the Banana Kong, Ruler of the Banana Kingdom. For that pledge the Banana Kong granted them asylum. Through this asylum came the freedom to roam the Kingdom, a freedom not granted to wastelanders. They converts are know as Wanderers.
Unsure of where they belong in Kingdom society, wanderers often stick to themselves, building up their strength and arsenal so that they can one day compete in the Tournament of the Unknown.
Most apes pay them no mind as they go about their day to day, most even take pity on them but the upper houses of Apex City - once wastelanders themselves - didn't like what they deemed to be the filth of the Kingdom. Forgetting their own roots generations ago when the Great Kong built the Banana Kingdom as a refuge for wastelanders, the upper house of Apex hatched a plot. The goal? Rid the Kingdom of the wasteland scum.
A secret meeting took place, among the attendees were a select droup of Apexian Oracles and Chieftains. Their plan? Overthrow the Banana Kong and claim the throne.
Not long after, a splinter group of specialized Oracles crafted an immobilizing powder from made with shard essence and the Banana Kong's own Oracle mixed it into the Kong's evening dinner. Banana Kong hasn't exited his Temple since.
With the Banana Kong out of the way, rumors of his ailing health led the emboldened upper houses of Apex City to contest the throne. A series of inter-family wars waged privately in dark allies and through poisonings took place in the affluent neighborhoods of Apex City.
It wasn't long before these wars spilled out into the daylight. Blood on the streets of the city, for all to see.
To end this warring and solve the issue of the throne, tribal leaders from across the Kingdom came together in the Great Hall and passed a new decree.
The ruler of the Banana Kingdom would be the Apex class Chieftain who was victorious in the Tournament of the Apex's.
The tribal leaders, most of them belonging to the Apex class and hungry for power themselves, quickly passed this decree into law.
The winner of the Tournament of the Apex's would rule the Kingdom. Every Apex tribe would have a fair shot at the throne every month.
The lower status tribes, unconcerned with who rules what, didn't hesitate to embrace the new law. In fact they saw it as an opportunity to advance and maybe one day rule themselves. But there were grumblings a lot further down the chain, at the outskirts of society. Not all apes were happy.
Unknown Chieftains still loyal to the Banana Kong began holding late night meetings with the Kingdoms Wanderers. They became Chieftains under the rule of the Banana Kong and didn't forget where their loyalties lied. Unlike the rest of the Kingdom's Chieftains, Unknown Chieftains belonged to no class, and by law they were restricted to tribes of 10, barred from tournaments and these tribes were constantly at war with each other.
And this life on the outskirts, was by design...
To keep them unorganized and weak the upper houses would start conflicts between these lower tribes and arm the side that pledged fealty to them over the Banana Kong. They'd been doing it for a generation in an attempt to keep wastelanders from achieving... well from achieving anything at all that resembles a normal life.
Confined to the slums on the edges of each region, those loyal to the Banana Kong had had enough. An entire generation had been raised as outcasts by some of the hardest people in the Kingdom. And they were ready for a fight. The goal: take down the upper houses and free the Banana Kong.
The days to come are known throughout the Kingdom as the Days of the Black Sun.
50,000 Wanderers led by over 1000 Unknown tribes marched on Apex City. Using primitive catapults they quickly reduced the upper house district around Banana Kong's Temple to rubble. The smoke and dust turned day to night. A large defensive perimeter, miles long was constructed by the hoards Builders. They soon settled in.
"We will not leave until Banana Kong is free", were their demands.
And they could not leave, even if they wanted to. Because far out from their center, all along their perimeter, stood the vast armies of Apex City.
The Oracles would not relinquish the Banana Kong, locking themselves within his temple, continuing to feed him their powder.
With no way into the temple and running out of food, the Chieftains of the Unknown drafted a letter to each of the regions Council of Chieftains.
Weeks went by...
Silence.
It was nearly dawn when a scout in a frenzy burst into his Chieftains tent, the apes were nearly starving. The Chieftain awoke to a shaking ground and chaotic yelling in every direction.
This was it he thought.
And before he could ponder what would be a gruesome death in the coming moments...
"Sir the armies of the Jungle, Peaks, and Steppe have arrived!" The scout blurted out.
"Fetch my Oracle, tell her to call a meeting of the council immediately" the chieftain responded.
Within days the armies of Apex City pulled away from the perimeter. Soon after, Chieftains from all 4 regions descended on the Great Hall to cast a vote. The vote had passed.
Free the Banana Kong, and with the gravity of that vote backed up by 3 massive armies, the upper houses of Apex City fell in line.
The Banana Kong was immediately released. The Oracles responsible were tortured for weeks and then exiled. Those Oracles - who belonged to no tribe - gave up no information on who their masters were. And it remains a mystery, even now...
Before the armies of dispersed a second vote was cast, and it passed.
Unknown tribes were to be granted the right to compete in a tournament designed to balance power in the Kingdom by wits and strength, not through power, stealth and murder.
A tournament was designed for Wanderers and Unknowns alike, the Tournament of the Unknown.
The details stated that the top 3 tribes who emerged victorious from each of the 4 regions could compete in the Tournament of the Apex's for a shot at the throne. Unknown Chieftains were to select 40 Wanderers from their region making them ready for the possibility of an even 50 vs 50 fight in the Kingdoms top tournament held every month.
The Settled and Elite Status classes rejoiced, former wanderers and Unknowns themselves they thought it a novel idea.
One that would keep the lower class from attacking them even, and they soon began to flourish.
The Kong and Apex classes were not impressed. Even though they were split between loyalty to Banana Kong and loyalty to the upper houses they were unified in disgust, and fear.
Those who's allegiance lied with the upper houses of Apex City simply didn't like wanderers or the Unknowns, they were all outsiders and criminals in their eyes.
The Kong and Apex tribes who's allegiance lied with the Banana Kong didn't like it either, knowing that it would embolden the Unknowns, and strengthen the Settled and Elite classes beneath them. Those loyal to the Kong felt fear that their status was in jeopardy and began buying up massive amounts of Shard Essence, used to enhance weapons. The total supply dwindled and shard essence was difficult to get. If the lower classes can't have powerful weapons, their status would remain intact, they thought.
Not long after the armies dispersed, a third law passed. The use of Shard Essence was restricted. Only an Oracle could use it or grant the right to their tribe to use it. Builders, doing what they do best saw the opportunity in the shard trade and built a marketplace for the enhancement of weapons and gear that soon spread throughout the entire Kingdom. The restrictions seemed to make sense at first, but it led to a power imbalance. Warriors wanted to be Builders. Commanders wanted to become Oracles. Oracles, with their newfound power wanted to become Chieftains.
Wanderers ...could become rulers.
A new Kingdom was born out of the darkness of the black sun, and it was an unrecognizable frenzy of upward mobility.
What could one become in the Kingdom?
The answer lies with you -
Wanderers will have a total supply of 2.4 million across the game, or 600,000 per region. You'll need a wanderer NFT to enter the Kingdom.
Once you're in the full game is unlocked. You can collect the NFTs below in story mode.
Since wastelanders were banished there aren't many left in the Kingdom. The ones that are here are pretty stealthy though and can be found in small groups around the Kingdom when in story mode. You can recruit them and later use them in battle mode to spy on your oppents revealing their stats. They can also be hired straight out of the wastelands. Total Supply is unlimited. Wastelanders will be available in late 2022 either from the KQ app or from the Banana Kingdom website that will be launching in late summer of 2022.
Alternatively, you hire them straight from the Kingdom Marketplace once the game reaches the Open Access phase.
By hire we mean buy, but that sounded crude.
Various weapons and gear can be earned and collected in story mode. This equipment cannot be minted to the marketplace but it can be combined to make greater equipment, that can be minted later.
