In this age of the mammal, the daily life of such creatures as the reise goat, the small elefklein, sire elch, and mirrcat are explored. While places such as the Coal Islands don't exist yet -- the volcanic activity that created them is still 350,000 years away -- and Lunape is still thousands of miles away, the vast island of Maccabia is about to crash into Christmas Island, creating the current Christmas continent. The collision of the two would create the Moonracer Mountains and the being known as the hobtufte would migrate north. A decade ago, it was revealed through research at Pixie University. The ancient creature is the common ancestor to all the native sentient beings of Christmasia.
