I found this text somwhere , but I don't think it's a Fan fiction:
THE FALL OF THE MUDOKONS
A long time ago, the Glukkons and the Mudokons lived lives that would belie their future entanglement with one another. The
Glukkons were not masters of Mudokon slaves.
Buried in the mists of Oddworldian time - unknown even by modern Mudokons - is a memory of the Mudokons as they once were: a
race of spiritual folk who weren't necessarily averse to warfare. Not warlike themselves, they served as advisors.
The folk the Mudokons counseled and the not-necessarily-admirable stuff they did in that capacity will be revealed. We'll also learn
just how this noble and seemingly powerful race of creatures went from the upper echelons of Oddworldian culture down to the
slaves used in Glukkon factories.
The Glukkons were at one time a very spiritual people. In fact, while the Mudokons were going through their Advisor Era, the
Glukkons were going through an era of their own: the Alchemy Era. Their belief system centered on the moon that orbited
Oddworld; the face of the planet appeared to bear the mark of a Mudokon's handprint. At the time, the Mudokons considered this a
sign that they were the Chosen People. The Glukkons went to great lengths through their alchemy to disprove this theory and prove
that they - in fact - were the true chosen people. During the course of these experiments, a disaster of unknown type occurred and
almost wipped out the Glukkons.
In short, this accident set the wheels of fate into motion. The remaining Glukkons became "Enclosurists," not wanting to look up in
the sky and be reminded of the fact that they weren't the Chosen ones. As a result, they immediately began spending all their waking
hours inside. Over the course of the many years that ensued, their eyes became incapable of dealing with natural light. Further, they
rejected their mystical heritage in favor of a colder, more scientific approach to their problems. Lurking beneath their disbelief, though,
is almost an inbred hatred of the Mudokons for their claim to divinity. This scientific approach, coupled with nascent ill will for
Mudokons eventually lead to the management approach that would have no problem enslaving Abe and all of his kind in the name of
the all mighty bottom line.
So that's the story so far. There are a couple of important things to keep in mind as the Oddworld story unfolds in the coming years,
though.
