​The light gave rise to five peoples of mortal kind, to prosper in spite of primordial darkness and the encroaching Underworld.

​

Carrying divine Flame and Amber, the children of Gaia built a great civilization: Politismos, the totality of culture reaching out to distant worlds like points of a many-pronged star.

​

However far they went, heroes of the Politismos found more worlds built by the Gods, foundations to new Poleis, and the ruins of long forgotten ancestors.

​

The cosmos is alive with spirits, beasts, and the wilderness of capricious Gods. Dangerous, but full of promises, to those who seek Golden Apples and Ambrosia.

​

Echoes of legend permeate the Starry Seas, retold and born again in this new heroic age.
