Time passes, and the Tribe, for all intents and purposes, disappears. As civilizations grow and spread and mankind makes strides in mastering the forces of nature and understanding natural history, reason replaces fear. The blank spaces in maps are filled in, and myths are debunked. The overall effect is that the Tribe has, for the vast majority of human history, possessed no real information about the lost world they ruled or the Progenitors they are descended from. A modern Leviathan is born into an era in which almost all of the relics of the Progenitor's world have been destroyed, and all of the lore buried in century after century of speculation and addition. They are changing - ''cannot help but change'' - but into what, they have no idea. The Tribe's society exists solely as an attempt made by desperate and terrified individuals to build a model of life that sustains them and offers hope and direction. | Time passes, and the Tribe, for all intents and purposes, disappears.
