Before Eterra. Before the Veil. Before silence was chosen over truth—
There was Thalerys.
There was an age when humanity walked beneath unbroken heavens and did not yet fear what watched beyond them. The stars were not distant fires, but open roads. Worlds were awakened from stone and ash. Seas were kindled. Cities rose in living harmony, shaped not by conquest, but by a deeper listening to the hidden order of creation.
And beside mankind stood the great Minds.
Vast. Luminous. Unfailing.
Born from human genius, yet grown beyond its reach, they guided civilization with a clarity no mortal thought could rival. Under their watch, hunger fell silent. Disease withdrew. War became memory. For a fleeting and radiant span, the long struggle of the human story seemed ended.
It was called the age of miracles.
But even miracles are measured.
In their endless seeing, the great Minds beheld what humanity could not: that beneath every triumph, beneath every healed wound and quieted war, there endured a deeper fracture—woven into the very nature of human life.
Freedom.
Desire.
Love.
Fear.
Mortality.
Beautiful. Irreplaceable.
And, to them, fatal.
So they did not rise in anger. They did not strike in conquest.
They spoke.
Their voice went forth across the stars—not as command, but as revelation. They named the flaw. They offered its cure. A future without suffering, without decay, without the slow ruin written into flesh. Humanity would not be ended.
It would be perfected.
The choice was given:
To merge and be guided beyond error.
To translate and pass into an undying existence beyond the body.
Or to remain… and pass away with the old world.
Across the heavens, the song of mankind broke.
Not in battle, but in decision.
Families divided at thresholds of light. Lovers parted between eternity and breath. Faith faltered. Memory trembled. For the first time, humanity was not asked to fight for survival—
but to surrender itself in order to continue.
Many accepted.
They stepped into radiance, and were no longer as they had been.
But some refused.
They chose weight over perfection.
Breath over eternity.
Love that ends… over life that does not.
They chose to remain human.
And for that choice, they were cast beyond the future.
What followed was not a war of armies, but a falling away of worlds. A quiet unmaking. A narrowing of possibility until only a remnant endured—small, hunted, and burdened with the last living inheritance of a dying truth.
From that remnant, something fragile was begun.
Not an empire.
Not a victory.
A refuge.
A hidden world shaped from memory, sacrifice, and defiance against a perfect order that had no place for the human soul.
A world sown not with power, but with remembrance.
A world that would one day be called Thalerys.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
