For more than a thousand years, as chaos ensued and the world fell further and further into dystopia, a few hopeful people tried unsuccessfully to turn back the tide. Until one day in 3368, a young apprentice mage - hoping to safeguard the future of makind - led as many innocents as she could to a previously undiscovered underground cave and attepmted to open an outgoing portal to a parallel world, with the intention of bringing them all back when it was safe.
