In all the island kingdoms, nothing is wealthier than Mahardlika; Economically and militarily Mahardlika boasts stable in these areas; gold, silver, bronze and several precious stones were mined from it’s mountains. From the depths of its bays, giant clams yield the most beautiful pearls.

Lush green fields are covered with thick vegetations that produce great bounties of fruits, vegetables and root crops, enough to feed all the other island kingdoms within the archipelago.
Mahardlika also take pride of its land and naval forces; Dedicated, resourceful and resolute warriors trained in various jungles and survival combat, and a navy composed mainly of forty thousand warships and highly skilled sailor warriors.

For its people, Mahardlika’s grandiose blessings were carefully managed by the most noble, most righteous ruler that ever lived: Lakan Mandigma.

Standing six foot seven, healthy, strong, in robust built and in the prime of his life, Lakan Mandigma’s image imparts more inspiration than fear. He is a man of few words, values giving service to his people and detests corruption. His very image commands respect not only from his subjects and the populance, but also from his young and beautiful daughter Princess Ranao.

Lakan Mandigma love and treasured his only daughter so much. She is the only memory he had of his lovely yet feisty warrior-mermaid wife, Lambini. Lakan Mandigma served as parent, teacher and instructor for the impulsive Princess Ranao. He believes someday, Ranao could rule the kingdom and earn the subjects’ deepest respect.

Lakan Mandigma had greater plans both for his people and his love ones; he is an observer of the ancient “Code of Yumangi”: An ancient code of ethics promoting love, peace, understanding and harmony throughout the islands.

Lakan Mandigma’s dream is to unite all the island kingdoms under the Yumangi code to stop the prevailing territorial wars, pave the way for peace and coexistence and pursue prosperity and goodwill throughout the islands.

But there are those who sneer at Lakan Mandigma’s visions. There are those who live by the evil “Code of Tupkawan.”: An acient code of chaos that promotes fear, might, desolation and dominance; a code, denouncing the positive Yumangi principles.


Believers and practitioners of this code moves in stealth and deceit, to capture the hearts and minds of the Mahardlikan people and overthrow Lakan Mandigma. Belivers of the Tupkawan code were aided by monsters, demons and dark magic, powerful enough to strike terror upon the islanders.

In the story of “Ranao”, Mahardilkan defenses fell and Lakan Mandigma was beaten.
It is up to Princess Ranao to carry out the task of bringing back justice to the islands, win back the trust of her people, reclaim Mahardlika and save her father.
