Okay, here's some more IaLR lore!

Humans might be the most dominant species on Earth, but Inklings and Peas are quite dominant too. While humans are friends with Inklings and Peas (and vice versa), Inklings and Peas have hated each other since they evolved into their modern form. Why is that?

Back then, when humans and Inklings became smart enough to make tools out of stone, the Peas were pacifists. They quietly grew atop a hill called Pisum Peak, which became Bill Newton's Hill Climbing School in Finland.

Fast forward to when humans and Inklings made societies. Looking to expand their territory, the Inklings found Pisum Peak, and with no one there, they claimed it their own. When the Peas awoke, they saw squid kids roaming around the once-quiet hill, doing lotsa crap. The Peas tried to make a friendship treaty with the new invaders, but the Inklings reacted with hostility and threw the Peas off their hill. The Peas knew if they wanted to reclaim their peaceful home, they had to drop their pacifist lifestyle. So it began, the war for the hill... Nobody won, then it's on pause forever.

Part 2 coming later!
