Initially, it was very derivative, based strongly on ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' and ''Lord of the Rings''.

In ancient days, great and terrible men did great and terrible things: Valius I built an entire city in one year; the body of the dragon Espergon became a volcano; out of spite Athantos cursed the world such that the dead might still haunt the living. The Ages of Myth and Man are long gone, and even the Age of Heroes is fading to a close: no single being can hope to affect the world so profoundly any more...at least, not without help. | * The world is in decline.
