Our world changed, on that day we call: The Reckoning. Atomic fire scorched parts of the world, and the world decided to fight back. Deserts became bloodthirsty jungles. Places once fertile became deserts. Nowhere was safe … making the world more dangerous than we could ever be. I’m one of the few that still remember what the world was like before The Reckoning. You’re all probably wondering who I am and more importantly, wondering why should you listen to this old man’s tale?

You know that old question? If we were alone in the universe? If there was life somewhere amongst those stars in the sky?

I found the answer. And not in the way that I was ever expecting. A world untouched by The Reckoning, untouched by atomic fire, and seemingly untainted compared to our broken world. I once ventured there, once stood on the same grounds as mythical creatures. Creatures that were no different than you or me … ones that I look back and call friends.

So why not have yourself a seat and listen to this old man as he regales you with a tale of adventure in new lands!

Now … shall we begin?
