Aotearoa Giants

When the land was young and legends walked in the open, the giant guardian Ririwha stood watch over the northern waters. Protector, mother, and living mountain. But when a forgotten hunger stirs in the western peaks, balance shatters.

As devastation sweeps the lakes and forests, Ririwha and her family must face a battle that will reshape the very land beneath them. Heroes will fall. Mountains will rise. A lake will become a harbour and guardians will become the land itself.

Inspired by the landscapes and storytelling traditions of Te Tai Tokerau.

Ririwha: Guardian of the Northern Harbour is a modern pūrākau of grief, courage, and kaitiakitanga. Reminding us that the land remembers, the sea endures, and guardianship never truly ends.
