The Beginning, the End



Throughout the continent of Cicrynthia, petty dukes and barbarian clans squabble over the bones of ancient kingdoms while brigands plague the cities along valuable Spice Roads. Ancient citadels, holy monasteries, and revered ports - once glorious in the face of the New Gods - molder from richly sloth and worldly decadence. Meanwhile the god-empress of the Cheq-tan Empire stirs in her millennial slumber as her general-poets ride to her, to raise the banners of conquest for when she awakens.

In the far east, there is a legend spreading among the peoples of a powerful evil stirring. A kraken, foretold in the Age of Legends, that is destined to swallow the world.

Father Halo, a priest of Yed, is commanded to travel to find the lost city of Hannon in the far east. His compatriots - Jack Spearhand and Espectro - travel with him. They are cursed to bear witness of their people's demise from a god they do not know.

The Age of Man is passing, and its death will not go well.
