I’m a selyan—a being capable of weaving material illusions. You can touch them, grab them—but they don’t last long. The world of humans, without magic and magical races, got boring to me once, and I started visiting the Dark Empire. In those lands, right then, the era of the Great Truce was beginning. On the throne of the Dark Empire sat Lord Tyier, and on the throne of Chaos—Lord Ellohar—and the two great powers began trying to coexist with each other. Technological progress changed the Dark Empire, giving it a modern twist while leaving a romantic medieval veneer. As for me, I visited nightclubs and bars of a very powerful and mysterious creature—Elrik of the North. And one day I got lucky and ran into him in person… And what happened next… then… That’s a long story.
