We don't know where we are. Is it the past or an unimaginably distant future? A parallel reality or a virtual simulation so convincing it's indistinguishable from the real world?

Whatever the truth is, Unity is our home now, and we will fight for it.

Beneath Unity's sky, the golden sprout of the Ygg-Tree grows stronger, and its roots hide a secret.

The sinister eye of the Skythrone never strays far from the Earth freehold—the accretion disk that holds Eternity, which the natives believe to be the abode of gods and the afterlife for Ascendants.

We know its rulers study us, keep their vigil, and wait to reclaim what they lost countless cycles ago. We know they play cryptic games with us, and we'll have to stop being their pieces and learn to flip the spheres to our side. And now that we know that, we can act, gathering strength and forging new alliances to outwit those who command time itself.

The lords of Eternity are certain they cannot lose, but they have forgotten what those they summoned can do.

Those whose rank is unknown.
