Legacies

Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a great
civilization that spanned a continent, and ended a golden age. Corus
today is a world of contending countries, of struggling humans, strange
animals and elusive supernatural creatures. Though much has been
forgotten, it is still a place of magical powers, and of a few people
who are Talented enough to use them.

Even as a child, Alucius showed very strong Talent. He was warned
never to reveal it, lest others seek to exploit it. But as he grows to
young manhood, Alucius must serve in the Militia like his father before
him. When his country is invaded by the slave armies of the Matrial,
immortal ruler of a nearby land, Alucius is captured and magically
enslaved.

A time of changes has come upon all of the world of Corus. If the
evil surrounding the Matrial is not ended, those changes will not be
happy ones. Alucius and his Talent have a central role to play.
