Amidst the dark chaos it beheld in disorder, order met with the light. Light brought order, to be met with the darkness, and to its end. Ends met a new beginning- as it must – and the beginning of a world shrouded by myths and magic; Zodia’s creation.

So as the living die, pawns play, and the living left live on

- the stars tell the fate of fate played.
