History
Kong: Gods of Skull Island
In 1912, a group of outsiders came to Skull Island. Bar-Atu and a group of warriors apprehended them on the beach, and Bar-Atu proposed they be given to Kong, but before he could put his plan into action, the Storyteller came to tell them to stop. Bar-Atu walked away claiming that if Kong did not take them, the island would.
The following night, Bar-Atu gathered his Church of Kong. They partook in smoking a black vine that grew on the border wall and told tales of Kong. Long ago, an evil wizard came to Skull Island to use his magic to kill Kong. He created golems of flight, fire, stone, and steel. Kong easily slayed them all. The wizard then resurrected the bones of Kong's ancestors, but Kong put them back into the ground, and the wizard with them.
