Millions of years have passed and the Earth has aged. Its tall mountains have eroded and its rivers now flow sluggishly among strange trees with dark-colored leaves. The red sun only casts a dim light, while the nights are dark, as the moon has long disappeared from the sky. Bizarre creatures roam the desolation of the world, and the few remaining humans live in small isolated communities, eagerly awaiting the moment when the sun will extinguish, plunging the world into its last eternal winter.
Magic is alive again, and the few who possess knowledge of it can change nature itself. A spell, properly spoken, can summon a demon from the depths of infinity or create a creature of indescribable beauty.
