Upon starting a new game, a tarnished leathery book takes the focus and is thrown open. Parietal sketches form on blank, aged pages and begin to illustrate as an elderly woman narrates:"Long ago..The view switches abruptly to a small orphanage common room as the narrator (who is now shown in a rocking chair) clutches the book shut, filling the room with dust. The room is near naked, baring a simple rug which is cluttered with toddlers and young children in tattered clothes. The children sit in all sorts positions in a semi circle around the narrator, who then begins immediately:
before there was you, before there was me..
before poets did write, and nobles did ride..
in a time of no space, and a place of no date...
Arcasia was home to only two brothers; two brothers locked in an eternal dispute.
Arcasia the threaded, so It be,
was woven plainly in its adolescence.
Two strands of immortal power and timeless truth stood in opposition
Lincoln the Lord of Order - the sophic merchant, brother of
Baron the Lord of Chaos - the cunning thief.
Such an Arcasia knew only the raw, simple energy that fuelled and perpetuated their cosmic feud.
.

.""Well then, I suppose that's quite enough for now. Whattayouall say we prepare some dinner?"View shifts to a close up our main protagonist: Axus. He sits cross-legged and slouched, with an arm lodged in the crevice of his legs and his chin resting in his open palm. Axus proclaims interest in hearing more of the story to which the narrator empathises but hurriedly moves to the kitchen and starts riffling through cupboards and drawers."Hmm, it seems we're missing some things.. Alright"
