BOOK TWO

BEFORE THE END OF 940 AFTER MONRO, THE REBIRTH OF MANKIND HAD BEGUN.

The later struggles of Darc and his allies in that fateful year were plenty, and many are the stories of them. The common mouth has exaggerated the scope and numbers of those battles and voyages; today they might seem like nothing more than exciting yarns to thrill the hearts of the young.

But for the purpose of understanding the upheavals that released our race from a self-inflicted prison, we must examine all such tales with sober clarity. What truth can be discerned from fiction, and which facts of history remain to this day, proving the truth of a tale? Only by keeping these proven memories alive, civilization can abide.

Your humble narrator, who hides his real name behind the title "Librian", lived his youth through these times. I saw and heard Darc, in person. He was as real as you and I; both less and much more than legend.

And I bear witness, that it was not with weapons that Darc won his greatest triumphs, but with his mind. Cast out in the desolate wastelands, he gave birth to a new beginning, and became the man with a thousand names.


Excerpt from Librian's "Chronicles" (translated from the original language)
