Greetings,

In the years of long ago, Sapience has seen much... You've been through
wars, pain, and strife. You've seen cities grow, you've seen cities
fall. You've seen armies build, you've seen armies slaughtered. Such
fine memories that we all share.

But sadly, those times have passed. Today you may find yourself romping
happily through the fields with your lover, twirling in the sunlight
with the beautiful serenade of passing birds floating through your ears.
You find yourself wandering carelessly along the road, a smile on your
face and a bundle of flowers in your hands. Instead of the gleaming
swords you once held fiercly lay rusted and useless in your homes.

However, tomorrow will be a new day. A shadow has been steadily growing
from the western lands, and with it comes terror and suffering. A new
wave is sweeping through the green fields of Sapience, staining the
ground in blood, leaving bone and ash in its wake.

As the time ticks by, War and Evil will reclaim its throne among the
heavens and rain agony down upon its enemies. Sapience will again be
plagued with the ferocity of Lord Aegis and Lord Sartan. From the
shadows comes a new force; a hand that will bring the death I promise to
you.

Changes are coming. War will purge Sapience of the worry free life
styles you have grown so used to. Evil will tear the flesh from your
bones. You're behind us, or you're under us.

There's war on the horizon, prepare yourselves.
