If you wish to play, you are the grown grandchild of a woman named, or titled, Venerable Mother of All People. Nobody knows if she has another name. Nobody knows if her husband was the only man who created babies with her. Nobody is even sure who the mother of her husband was but it is whispered it was one of her own children. She is an enigma.
All you know is that she is amazingly beautiful and brilliant, and that she bore many, many children, who themselves bore you.
Your people are the ancient ancestors of the San people of east Africa. The year is 200,000 BCE, though you don't know anything about that. By modern standards you are small, lightly built, with African textured hair and medium brown skin tone. You are nomadic gatherers who like to eat meat when you can get it.
There is technology. There is magic. There is no understanding that they aren't the same thing. None of you know any magic or technology but you know that Venerable Mother of All People can teach such things.
Recently, you fell into a strange valley bordered by unclimbable cliffs. Venerable Mother of All People is sitting with you in a corner of the valley. The valley is square. I will be using a chessboard to make maps.
You are in square A1 which is where the foothills of a volcano meet the valley corner. The volcano is in the northwest part of the valley.
We will use forum names.
Venerable Mother of All People smiles at you.
