legend tells of an ancient empire which once, in fleeting millennia past, ruled over all arnoria
yet, it is said that corruption and greed and over-reliance on technological wonder brought this once-glorious empire to ruin
horrific wars tearing the world apart and laying waste to all upon it
in the ages that have past, the ancient empire has turned as much to a cautionary fairy tale as to believed reality
its traces all but gone, save in the ruination of the world
but, lately, the heretic ARNE AGNAR, claims that he has discovered proof of a mechanical being boasting such origins
brittle and broken, ripped apart by centuries of lying amidst the shifting sands, the wonder was thought broken beyond repair
yet, in the heat of the burning desert sun, the desperate mad scientist managed to resuscitate the age-old remains
alongside the soul of his dead wife, KYORE, within the mechanical body
as the mech body spurts to life with garbled memories of an ancient past, a spirit haunting the machine, which is real?
the haunted corpse, or the ghostly memories of a dead woman?
the last vestige of an ancient, doomed society, whose cataclysm killed the world, SEPH-0-NE dreams of a life thousands of years gone, a mission no longer possible
kyore chases a grieving husband, despite a vessel not her own
both recall a brilliant, feverish scientist, desperate to preserve and restore knowledge -- but which is which?
her circuits were badly damaged when arne found her
she had fallen out of space, generations upon geneartions ago, when the orbit of the ghost ship she inhabited finally decayed
for centuries upon centuries she lay, lifeless, beneath the desert sands
arne reworked her from scavenged parts and his own knowledge and hopes and dreams -- and memories of the deadwoman he loved
and his soothsayer-augur arts which gave some part of her lifeforce to the lifeless thing before him
the damage to her memory banks remains extensive -- she can convey nothing now of what once was beyond foggy memory
she can never restore the world she once knew
she is haunted by the confused recollections of her world's destruction
and her own twin deaths
yet, still she's hunted, now, by the purgists as if she can -- those who seek to destroy her
as well as by JOVIS TURINUS, who hopes to rip her apart and find out how she works
forced to run and hide, she is torn between two things she once was -- the two things she has never been
who is in control?
