Thousands of years ago, a young adventuress named Taran led an expedition of humans across the sea. They sailed into a huge bank of fog one evening, and when they finally cleared it the travellers found two moons shining in the sky above them where there used to be only one. There was a dark shore on the horizon...
Humanity landed on the eastern edge of a world called Halcye, a world populated by strange beasts and monstrous overlords and cold, proud elves, locked forever in battle. The arrival of the expedition tipped the scales of balance, and humankind found itself flung into the role of slavery and forced to fight for survival and independence. Once it broke free of the shackles of the master races and brought them to heel, they found that their common travails had done nothing to extinguish the essence of humanity: division.
There are two times called Now. One is a historical Now, the time when the legends and heroes lived and strove at the end of Humankind's second great era: the Age of Kingdoms. The other Now is the Kingdom-age's distant future, where all the strivings of kings and princes had been reduced to ash and sand by the prophecied Apocalypse: the Age of Beginnings.
