Do not believe what the scientists tell you. The natural history we know is a lie¸ a falsehood sold to us by wicked old men who would make the world a dull gray prison and protect us from the dangers inherent to freedom. They would have you believe our planet to be a lonely starship¸ hurtling through the void of space¸ barren of magic and in need of a stern hand upon the rudder. Close your mind to their deception. The time before our time was not a time of senseless natural struggle and reptilian rage¸ but a time of myth and sorcery. It was a time of legend¸ when heroes walked Creation and wielded the very power of the gods. It was a time before the world was bent¸ a time before the magic of Creation lessened¸ a time before the souls of men became the stunted¸ withered things they are today. This is the story of that time.
