This land my child, was once a free land, free from rulers, free from evil. But one day, from across the seas, came a man, he brought with him many kinds of strange animals, some better than others, and some as evil as the man who brought them. This man, his name was Trapat then, pretended to be a great, wise, kind man. He told the people of this land about other countries from over the seas, ones that had kings and were rich, so rich he said. Of course, mortal man is drawn by anything that promises to be profitable, there was a great argument between the people of the land, many friends became enemies because they simple thought differently than the other. Eventually though, Trapat became king, few knew that he secretly killed the ones that opposed him.
Trapat is now known as Altanda and his rule has lasted long, too long. But anyways, once he became king he dropped all pretense of being kind. He sent armies to settle anyone that opposed him, for there were still some that did. Bloody times followed, but soon he had all of the land tamed, all except for Serantipy, here, though the people have been mostly gotten under his thumb, the land can’t be tamed, and neither can the animals, because the animals are smarter than most people, and stronger. Dragons my dear, dragons have been reported, though some don’t believe it I saw one myself. Many other strange creatures have been reported in the mountains and forest yonder. They say that the animals Altanda brought over roamed the land for a long time, but people oppressed them from every side and they decided to settle here. Here there is something different, a strange ripple, or perhaps tear in the present and future and past. They say if you venture far enough you’ll find the vertex, where future, past, and present all touch. It gives the air here a different feel, strangers often find it unbearable, that is why my darling, why we have so few visitors here in Serantipy.
Now there is a new force growing, one that the king himself fears, it will try to cover the Land in darkness once and for all. What will decide the fate of the Land? Well you may not be able to do it yourself, and neither can we, so why don't you give it a try?
The hour has come, come take a stand,
Come help change the fortune of Serantipy and the Land
