Line 6:
Following the apparent disappearance of humanity, the world has been inhabited and civilized by anthropomorphized creatures descended from experimental animals endowed with self-awareness by mankind.
 
The major plot of the game involves the false accusation of Rif, a member of the Fox Tribe, of stealing the Orb of Storms, an ancient human artifact once used to forecast the weather {{spoiler|and control it}}. Holding his girlfriend, Rhene, hostage as an incentive, his accusers task him with retrieving the Orb in order to clear his name. He embarks upon his quest with two helpers and watchers - Okk, the boar, and Eeah, the elk - engaging in various quests and trials of intrigue along the way.
 
An online webcomic strip based upon events occurring after the conclusion of the game may be found on the official ''Inherit the Earth'' [http://inherittheearth.net/ website].
