Queen Tika was the regal, but stern and unforgiving Queen of Murania, a technologically advanced nation more than 20,000 feet below the surface of the Earth, built during the ice age by the last survivors of the lost civilization of Mu. Queen Tika sought to preserve the secrecy of Murania's existence at all costs. At the same time, she was forced to put down an insurrection led by Lord High.
