"In the time of our ancient grandfathers, our planet, Gebshu, basked in the light from our sacred star, Shu, and the peoples of our planet prospered. Our forebears lived on the land above the ocean surface in great cities of stone, breathing fresh air and feeling the heat of Shu on their skin.
Then the Emperor of the world and his magi discovered a `new science' and unlocked the power within a mineral known as Lexan Stone. At first it was a great discovery and many wonders were worked. The greatest of all these feats was `shimmer travel'. The resonating stone created a shimmering field through which objects were thrown, and then appeared miles from the original location. The technique was perfected and people travelled through them over vast distances.
With this untold power at his disposal the Emperor declared himself a God. He outlawed the worship of the ancient deities, with the premise that if they truly existed they would make themselves known to him. He used the shimmer portals to take his armies to all parts of Gebshu where all tribes were forced to acknowledge him as the only true God. He destroyed or enslaved any that stood before him. The age of light had ended."
