Description: The end of
history is the beginning. Explore a culture based upon the ruins of
countless civilizations stretching back for countless millennia. Embrace
a society where time travel is an everyday occurrence -- but time is no
longer measured.
Negotiate a world in which the mundane, the advanced, and the paranormal
commingle freely -- a place where the officer classes fight duels to
the death using extraterrestrial flowers.
Envision a juncture in time where two potential futures hang in the
balance: one a Golden Age of rebirth, the other an icy grave of
permanent winter.
