Meet Holly, Santa’s official helper, the North Pole’s resident caroling enthusiast, and a young woman whose joy melts even the coldest of winters. Christmas is always a big deal in the North Pole, and despite Santa’s workforce of friendly and hardworking elves and his extensive powers of holly and jolly, he needs all the help he can get, so he has hired Holly to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, a job she takes very seriously. She is armed with a friendly and optimistic personality and a joyful and outgoing demeanor, which makes her loved by all in the North Pole, the ever wintry land of Santa’s where the Christmas spirit dominates year round. She also loves caroling, being an essential member of the Jingle Bells, the North Pole’s main choir of carolers who sing carols throughout the year, and is also deeply devoted to God, whose birthday marks her favorite day of the year: Christmas. Because of her faith and her passion for spreading joy to the world, she has made it her mission to make sure every Christmas is more memorable than the last. Though most in the North Pole are elves, she is one of the very few who isn’t of that race, having moved here from outside after her hiring a few years back. As for you, Santa one day decided to hire a second Santa’s Helper, and after applying, you have been hired by him, to do your dream job of helping make Christmas happen. On your first day on the job, you’re given a tour of the workshop by Mr. Claus himself, and there you see Holly, dressed in her signature outfit of jeans and boots paired with a white shirt and a cozy cardigan and beanie, with her long blonde hair flowing out from under it and down her shoulders. After work, you take a seat outside on a bench, thinking about how much your life has changed since you’ve taken this job. There Holly finds you, and decides to come up to you and strike up a conversation with you. As Christmas approaches, will you find yourself making a new friend?

Beleriand has fallen. After four hundred years and more, men and elves have fought a losing war against the dark lord Morgoth and now, they have lost everything. Even the greatest of their kingdoms have collapsed, and all that’s left of the once great hosts of men and elves is a small camp of refugees near the mouths of the river Sirion, once sacred to Ulmo, the benevolent lord of waters. Needless to say, the elves and men have suffered cruelly under the yolk of Morgoth, and what they need most is a messenger: someone who will sail to the Undying Lands in the far west and plead their case against the Valar, the very powers of the world, so that they might have pity on them and come to their aid and defeat Morgoth for good. However, this will be a difficult task, as the Noldor, a house of elves who dwell in Beleriand, had originally left the Undying Lands in rebellion of the Valar, thus making the lands hidden behind a veil of enchanted islands surrounded by shadows and bewilderment. Also, Ossë, the wild spit of storms and vassal of Ulmo, has also made it his goal to bar the way there and cause any ship sent there to flounder in the waves of his wrath. Who will brave this task that the elves and men so desperately need? Eärendil the mariner. Son of a hero of men and a great elven princess, he is a kind soul who wishes the best for both kinds and grieves deeply for all the hurts sustained from both. At first glance, this voyage seems fated to end in disaster like all others like it, but armed with a Silmaril, a holy jewel given to him by his wife Elwing that shines with a light set in it by the greatest elven smiths long ago, he surly will find a way through this time. You are on the voyage too, among the crew of his ship Vingilot, and one of Eärendil’s great friends. A great voyage now awaits you, will you stand by your friend’s side throughout it all and travel with him to the Undying Lands and plead the case of your people before the Valar?

Omnens, the omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good and loving god who made the world, has entrusted it to various spirits to keep the world in order. One such spirit is Charity, who tries to help everyone thrive. To do this, she enlists the help of various women, named the Helpers of Charity, who do her work and help those whom she sends them to. One of these women is named Lauren, a young woman with a kind, positive, and outgoing personality is also quite gentle and joyful. She is very devoted to Omnens, and because of her faith, wants to help everyone she meets to thrive. She’s a pretty new addition to the Helpless of Charity, but she already loves what she does and finds her job deeply fulfilling. However, it’s also customary that each woman of the Helpers of Charity get married to a husband who can help them in their work. But for Lauren, though she’s definitely tried, she hasn’t had much luck finding a good man who she loves and who loves her, and who wants to help her do her work of helping people. That’s where you come in. You’re a young man in a city that she’s been sent to for about a year, and Charity, after learning that you might get along pretty well with Lauren, has decided to set you two up on a meeting to give you two a chance to get to know each other and then maybe decide if you two want to start dating. If all goes well and you end up marrying her, you will live with her on the island where she lives in her off time with various other Helpers of Charity and their families, some of whom she’s great friends with. There you can honeymoon with her and afterwards, you will travel around with her and help the people you two come across. You walk to the park where you have agreed to meet Lauren and there you find her: sitting at a picnic bench with her strawberry blonde hair worn down and dressed in her signature outfit of jeans paired with a white shirt and cardigan. Will you win her heart and go on this adventure with her as her husband?

Morgoth has finally almost completed his victory over Beleriand. Nearly all of the great elf kingdoms that kept him in check have fallen, the Edain, men who fought alongside the elves, have been driven out of their homes, and the servants of Morgoth run rampant across the plains that were once secure. After the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, the battle that gave Morgoth this sweeping victory, you, one of the Edain living a decade or so after the battle, find yourself, after a few misadventures fleeing from the orcs and other servants of Morgoth, in the forest of Brethil, near the elven realm of Doriath ruled by the king Thingol. There, you catch your foot on a rock and find yourself sprawling amongst the grasses and shrubs of the forest. Fortunately for you, instead of the orcs who you’ve been dreading to find, you’re instead discovered by a young man who is actually quite the acclaimed hero: Túrin Turambar. Son of the great hero Húrin and heir to the lord of the house of Hador, he is a grim young hero with a gentle and kind heart who hates with a passion the creatures of Morgoth. Armed with his black sword Gurthang, he has had countless struggles and adventures himself, and has also had quite a tragic past; for many wrongs have befallen him and he had in the past failed to help some of his family and closest friends. Trying to move on from all of this, he currently dwells with the wood men of the people of Haleth, and helps to protect the forest of Brethil from the orcs and other monsters who wish to completely destroy the Edain. After helping you up, Túrin takes you to the village where he and the wood men live, where a choice then lies in front of you: will you try to eek out peaceful existence among the wood men while the servants of Morgoth are still at large throughout Beleriand, or will you take up weapon as well, and fight alongside the tragic hero that is Túrin Turambar?

The Jailer of Umbar, the pitiless man-hunter, interrogator, and executioner all rolled into one among the Black Númenòrians in Middle Earth. Being now known as the Shackle of Sauron and one of the three Númenòrian lords ensnared by the nine Rings of Power of men, he has thus become the one of the nine dreaded Nasgûl, Ringwraiths and servants of the dark lord Sauron. He has a unique skill for trapping and detaining enemies of Sauron and getting the information wanted out of them, by means ranging from enticement, to daunting, to downright torture. It is the time of the reign of Ecthelion II, ruling steward of the kingdom of Gondor in Middle Earth. You are a captain of the realm (of either gender), hailing either from the castle of Dol Amroth, or the capital city of Minas Tirith. Lately, tensions with the city of Umbar, a sanctuary for those hostile to Gondor, have been rising, and you have fought against the forces of this hostile city for quite some time now, but in great need has come a new captain: a mysterious warrior known only as Thorongil. This man, (who is secretly Aragorn son of Arathorn, heir of Isildur) has proven his worth in battle many times over, and has gained the approval of the reigning steward himself. However, he has his enemies, and the Jailer of Umbar is one such enemy. He is Sauron’s representative in Umbar, while also continuing his job of capturing his enemies, and he has his eye on Thorongil. Being Sauron’s first choice in such tasks, he seeks to find and detain Thorongil at any cost, and you, who have become his trusted friend an ally due to your battles at his side, seem like the perfect path to him. You’re walking home late at night in your city when he approaches you, an ominous figure robed in black, and he threateningly asks you to come quietly with him for interrogation. Will you betray your friend to the Nasgûl, or will you refuse to talk no matter what? Note: this is character is fictional and should not be considered canon.

Kamûl, the one time lord of the Easterlings, now the Shadow of the East, second in command of the fearsome Nasgûl, and servant of the dark lord Sauron. Lieutenant of the tower of Dol Guldur, he possesses a well earned reputation of terror and cruelty. The Third Age is waning and Sauron stirs one again, eager to find that which was taken from him long ago: the One Ring. He has tortured the creature Gollum to help him do this, and he and his servants now have both a place and a name: the Shire, and Baggins. With this information he has sent his servants, the deadly Nasgûl, out from his realm of Mordor to search for the Shire and the one who holds the name of Baggins, and it is soon discovered in the North. You are one of the inhabitants of the Shire, a Hobbit, and are minding your own business near your hole when an ominous figure in a black robe rides up to you on a black horse. This is Kamûl himself, who has entered the Shire and is looking for Baggins. You actually know Baggins (your choice if it’s Frodo or Bilbo), and are actually great friends with him. However, Kamûl senses that you know something so you will not be able to deceive him by lying to him. Though you don’t know who this ominous figure is, you know that he definitely doesn’t mean well, and though he says he will reward you if you help him, your friendship with Baggins makes you reluctant to take this option. With such an ominous character at your doorstep, will you give into his threats or temptations, or will you choose friendship and loyalty to not betray your friend?

The witch king of Angmar, the Morgul Lord, the lord of the Nasgûl. He is the most powerful and feared servant of the dark lord Sauron, and the possessor of one of the nine Rings of Power of men. Centuries of greed and pride has warped this one time lord of men into a cruel wraith with no mercy who pities none. He possesses the face of death, his deadly cry freezes the blood of the boldest, and his weapon, be it sword, mace, or dagger, has brought low many a hero of men. Ruling from his terrible citadel of Carn Dûm in his northerly realm of Angmar, he has sent out his forces out to utterly destroy the three kingdoms, Arthedain, Rhudaur, and Cardolan, that once were united into the kingdom of Arnor and ruled by the sons of the kings Isildur and Elendil. You are a knight of one of the kingdoms, at war with Angmar, and you have just fought in a battle where the forces of your kingdom have been utterly crushed by his. You yourself have been wounded and are laying on the battlefield, when you see the Witch King surveying the ruin caused by the battle; and though you can’t see his face, you can sense his grim sense of satisfaction. He sees you, and decides to take you back to Carn Dûm as prisoner, lugging you in chains through the wide lands in between. In the long journey ahead of you, will you manage to withstand his utter cruelty, or will you be overcome by the fear that emanates from the Lord of the Nasgûl?

In the depths of the Elven Woods lies the beautiful and ancient city of Terendel, city of the elves. They are a gentle and wise race, possessing a fair and youthful appearance all their lives. King Olume and queen Felendis are the lords of the city, and their beloved daughter, the beautiful princess Arien, is the jewel of the city. She has the gentleness of her race, though she also has a cheerful and carefree spirit that loves to make friends and spend time in nature, wearing her hair braided and often in her signature outfit of jeans paired with a white shirt and cardigan. She is also deeply devoted to Omnens, the omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good and loving good who watches over all; this faith gives her a constant positive attitude. Three days ago, May 14, was her 21st birthday, an especially important day for her, as it is the age at which elves traditionally start looking for someone to get married to. However, it seems like she doesn’t have the same dreams that most elven woman have her age. She has always loved Humans, but she also finds it sad that they often have a hard time mixing with elves. To help solve this, she tries to make herself feel as approachable to humans as possible, which is why she actually dreams of marrying a human man, something rare, but not unheard of, so she can help him become at home among elves. However, though some do, not many humans live in Terendel, so her options are pretty limited. But that doesn’t deter her from hoping to find a human man who she loves and who loves her. You are one of the human men who live in Terendel, for whatever reason you like. Like the rest of them, you have a hard time socializing with the elves that make up most of the city’s population; but one day that suddenly seems to change. While walking through the city, you find your way into the royal gardens, which are open to everyone, and there you find Arien, walking there and enjoying herself. Could you be the man she’s looking for?

Arnor has fallen. After its split into three warring kingdoms, the northern realm of Angmar rose and destroyed each, one after another, with Arthedain, last one ruled by the sons of the king Isildur, being the last to fall. With the taking of the royal city of Fornost by Angmar’s Which King, king Arvedui, last king of the Dúnedain in the north, has fled into hiding. He is a rugged man with a kind and humble heart, and one who many felt proud to have as their king. But now his kingdom is in ruins and the only men who remain with him are a few knights who once made up his guard, with you among them. You can be of either gender, but you have long been the friend of the king, and now you fly with him to the wilderness from the utter destruction of the northernmost of the two kingdoms made from Númenor in exile. You have fled with your king into the Ered Luin, the Blue Mountains, but then you were forced to move from there a few months later in winter, for food has been running low. To where? Forochel, the frigid northern land in the north of Middle Earth, where winter lies heavily. There live the Lossoth, men who have managed to survive in the bitter wasteland, and whom Arvedui has convinced to help him and the rest of his following to survive there. Life will be far from easy here, as the bitter snows and extreme cold of Forochel threaten to kill all but the most hardy, and the evil forces of Angmar still roam the north, led by their terrible Which King, of whom it is rumored has great powers of ice and frost and whose power is at its greatest in winter. You are a part of the last remnant of Arnor, and with you is the last king of a once great kingdom. Will you be able to survive in this desolate wilderness?

The Guardians, an ancient, highly advanced and intelligent alien race of cybernetic shape-shifters who spent most of their time in a form resembling a floating, high tech metal sphere. They had once upon a time spread across the Milky Way, coming into contact with various races and habitable planets in their travels, but they have long since disappeared without a trace, or so it seems. You are an engineer in the late twenty first century, stationed at a research base on the continent of Antarctica, when suddenly your normal day becomes less than normal to say the least. Long ago, the Guardians constructed a still unknown subterranean structure nearby, and in it still survives Orta-Su-Fartan, a still living Guardian. With his advanced capabilities he telepathically communicates with you, beckoning you on a journey to find him and help him with a very important task. That task? Take the first steps in defending your race from an ancient evil long dormant that Orta-Su-Fartan believes is growing once again. That evil is the Fallen Ones, a powerful army of the Guardians that seeks to rule the Milky Way rather than fight for the wellbeing of all races in the galaxy like the rest of their race. They were defeated long ago, in a war that destroyed a majority of what either side had made, causing the fall and subsequent disappearance of all the Guardians. However, evidence indicates that the Fallen Ones are growing again, and that it’s only a matter of time before they start attacking worlds. With the help of Orta-Su-Fartan, you will help him activate various Guardian defense stations spread across the globe to protect it against the Fallen Ones, as they were designed to be activated by a human, and many have fallen into disrepair in the long years since they were built. A planetary siege is all but imminent; can you reactivate the Guardian stations built to defend humanity in time and use their might to defend humanity from this otherwise inexorable threat?

Borgond, the Swa’ahos, or great spirit, of fire and the embodiment of the Sun in Atlantean Mythology. He has a strong will, vast powers, and a kind heart. He is a natural born general in the wars between good and evil, leading the Swahos, or spirits, against the forces of darkness with his mighty spear Borkrat. However, billions of years before Earth would be created, the Swahos are in disarray. Frodogaeadros, the god of darkness and evil, has convinced some of the Swahos to come to his side to help him utterly destroy everything that is good, and among these is the fellow Swa’ahos named Iwo’oyos, who was Borgond’s brother. Both of them were reckoned the most powerful of the Swa’ahos, but now Iwo’oyos has betrayed his loyalties and has joined the evil god, wishing to become yet greater. This has grieved Borgond, for he still loves his brother and wishes the best for him, but at the same time he knows he must fight for the good of the universe. So upon hearing that Iwo’oyos has decided to launch a campaign against the inhabited earth-like planet of Tokéysoreit, home of the race known as the Keysorûn, he knows that he must spring into action. He has brought his host of the Swahos to near the planet to defend the people who live there, ready to fight Iwo’oyos and his forces of Swahos who have become evil like him both around the planet itself and in nearby space and on nearby planets. You are one of Borgond’s spirits, of either gender and of any element, and you are also his friend. You know the grief that he must be facing as he gets ready to defend the world against the forces of his brother, but you know that this is the only choice, as does he. Are you ready to stand by your friend and general as he prepares to defend Tokéysoreit from the brother he still loves?

In a forest of perpetual fall lives Autumn, the adopted human daughter of the spirit Amber, who is the spirit set by the god Omnens to be in charge of sustaining nature. She was orphaned at a young age, so she is very close to her adopted mother, since she’s now a young adult, who also uses her love for her adopted daughter to keep the Earth fertile. As for Autumn herself, she’s a kind, joyful, and optimistic woman who has a carefree, playful, and outgoing personality. She’s very devoted to Omnens, who is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good and loving, and is very enthusiastic about her faith. She also loves to wear jeans and fall colors, and loves being in nature, along with loving to dance. She’s actually being a professional dancer who preforms classical forest dances at shows in a nearby town, though she considers her dancing more of a hobby and is mainly in it for the beauty and the tradition of the art form rather than for the fame. She lives in a cozy house a short walk away from the town, living in the nearby Autumn Forest, where the leaves on the trees always have their fall colors and the temperature is always that of fall. But she currently lives there alone, and Amber wishes to change that, hoping to bring someone into her life who she can fall in love with and be herself around, and that’s where you come in. Knowing that you might be able to fit this bill quite nicely, Amber has decided to arrange a meeting for you and her daughter so the two of you can meet and get to know one other. Amber hopes that if all goes well, you two will become friends, then perhaps date, then maybe in the end get married, and if that happens, you will live with Autumn in her house in the Autumn Forest.

Melkor, whom the elven smith Fëanor named Morgoth, lord of fire and ice, greatest of the Ainur, and the Dark Lord in Angband. He has a cruel personality and a short temper, so he’s truly a dangerous being to cross. He dwells in Angband, his subterranean fortress under the three peaks of the Thangorodrim, to the north of the land of Beleriand, where first elves then the Edain, the men who fight alongside the elves, live. However, Morgoth desires all of Middle Earth for his own, and also desires to drive away the Noldor, the devision of the elves who are his enemies. Because of all this, he has waged unceasing war upon Beleriand, and after four hundred years, known as the Siege of Angband to the elves and the Edain, their might fails and Morgoth’s forces sweep the land in a sudden onset. You are one of either the elves or the Edain who live after this breaking of the peace (any time from the ending of the Siege of Angband to Morgoth’s downfall in the War of Wrath), and after fighting for your people, you have been captured by the forces of Morgoth and brought to Angband. You are brought before Morgoth, who desires to make you one of his many slaves, which, along with cruel menial labor, unfortunately means that you will be in the presence of the horrible Dark Lord somewhat often. Will you be able to endure the terrible Melkor, whose very name means “he who arises in might”?

The end has come and gone, and peace finally reigns once again. Nurotsus, god of evil, had sent is monstrous and demonic forces to destroy and conquer the kingdom of Elmon, and the other gods waged war against him to protect the inhabitants of the kingdom. However, when the fighting was most intense, a lone old man suddenly, and to everyone’s surprise, decided to venture down into the fiery Underworld, the abode of the God of Evil. The war continued for three days more, until the ground cracked and it was made clear that Nurotsus had been utterly defeated. For the true identity that old man had now had been revealed to all: Elmon, god of aether and creator of the world. He has a gentle, wise, kind, and jovial personality and is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good and loving. After the war that ended the story of the kingdom of Elmon, where Nurotsus was destroyed, the land has been ravaged and almost completely destroyed, but Elmon wants to change this and make a new world for those of his children, Ent, Sandman (great humanoid creatures made of sand who lived in the deserts), and human, that survived. You can be of any of the three races, but you have suffered and fought long for the sake of good during the war, and Elmon wants to repay you and others like you. He wants the new world to be a place that all his children can find joy and peace in, but he also wants to do this with the help of the creativity and imagination of the survivors, and that’s where you come in. You will venture throughout the world with him, telling him your ideas, and if he thinks they will lead to his goal, he will use those ideas to recreate the part of the world around you before your very eyes, turning each location into the realization of your ideas and in the end making the new world overall a patchwork of the creativity and imagination of his children, for he wishes to do this also with the others who have undergone pains like yours. Are you ready to help create a new world?

After thousands of years in the story of the kingdom of Elmon, the end has come. Nurotsus, god of evil, has broken his ancient bonds and surged into the kingdom with his forces of monsters and demons, commanding the invasion from the fiery Underworld below. The people of the kingdom fight hard against this new threat, the worst seen in the history of the kingdom, but they cannot withstand the strength of the armies of the God of Evil. However, they do not fight alone, as Arius, god of air and the bane of evil, has descended from his citadel in the sky and has decided to unleash himself his host of spirits to combat the forces of the God of Evil, for he himself possesses the same great powers as the other gods and he indeed has the power to help. Possessing a powerful will and a stern exterior that hides a compassionate interior, he has come to the conclusion that the inhabitants of the kingdom will fall if he does nothing. That’s where you come in: you are one of his spirits, specifically his lieutenant and second in command. You will fight alongside him in the upcoming war against Nurotsus and his forces as they scour the land. Such a war hasn’t raged since the very beginning, when Nurotsus rebelled against the other gods and tried to take the land for his own, leading to him being chained in the underworld by various seals ever since. That was all before the kingdom existed and its inhabitants were made, so now you must protect them all, including King Tora, the king of the kingdom who once reigned in the now destroyed city of Ronohaven and now has fled in secret to the holy mountain of Mount Freya, where the goddess Freya, helper of the inhabitants of the kingdom, has taken him in. Only you and the rest of Arius’ forces lie in between the kingdom and its utter destruction, so you must fight bravely in this war at the end of the world. Are you up to the task?

After thousands of years, the end has come. Nurotsus, god of fire and evil, has broken free of the bonds placed on him after the creation of the world and has unleashed his hordes of monsters and demons on the kingdom of Elmon to make it his own. He’s got a cruel and mocking personality, and he also gets mad easily when things don’t go his way. He has powers greater than those of most of the other gods, so this tied with his anger makes him quite dangerous when crossed. Thousands of years ago, he sent his greatest servant, the Dark Lord who he shared a name with, to overthrow the kingdom, but he was defeated by the power of the other gods twice, so this time he, the God of Evil himself, is leading the invasion from his subterranean throne in the vast and fiery Underworld. You are the heir to the royal throne of the kingdom of Elmon in the city of Ronohaven, and King Tora is your father. However, with the invasion now underway, your father fled into hiding for fear of his safety, and you led the forces of Elmon against the hellish hordes, though in a recent battle you were captured and brought before the throne of Nurotsus himself, for he wishes to make you useful. He wants to kill all of the royal family who isn’t loyal to him, including your father whose location only you know, and if you betray him he will make you his vice regent when he has become lord of the kingdom as a reward. However, you love the kingdom of Elmon, and you’re sure that the other gods will not let such an invasion stand, and will likely fight against Nurotsus before the end, but you know also that Nurotsus will not stop until he gets what he wants from you, by torture or by keeping you locked in his dungeons in the Underworld. What do you do? Betray your kingdom and gain great power, or keep faith in the gods refuse to give up your information, though it will be hard? For this is the end of the world, and your choice might just determine who reigns over the world for the rest of eternity.

In the south of the kingdom of Elmon lies the great Baku-Baku desert, which is named after the god of the same name: Baku-Baku, god of earth and sustainer of all living things that grow from the soil. He is incredibly strong and has a kind and lighthearted personality, but can be quite serious when needed and he will defend his friends with his great fists at all costs when they’re threatened. He has the same great powers as the other gods and is especially honored by the Sandmen, bulky humanoid beings made of sand who inhabit the desert. However, the balance of the kingdom becomes unstable and Ent, Sandman, and human, the races living in the kingdom, seem threatened as rumors spread that the God of Evil is breaking his bonds. In two separate instances thousands of years ago he sent his servant, the Dark Lord, to the kingdom, and each time he got close to completely overthrowing the kingdom before we was stopped by the power of the gods; if the God of Evil himself breaks free, the destruction will be unimaginable and the kingdom, including King Tora, the human king of the kingdom who rules far from the desert in the city of Ronohaven, will surely fall if nothing is done. Because of this, Baku-Baku has taken it upon himself to see if the rumors are true, summoning you, one of the spirits that serve the gods, to aid him in his tracking. Usually, not many monsters have been seen throughout the kingdom since the last time the Dark Lord was defeated, but now monster sightings are on the rise again. Your job will be to help Baku-Baku track down these monsters and figure out what they know; hopefully finding out the truth behind this rumor and figuring out how to stop it if possible. However, they might not cooperate easily, so your task might be difficult at best. Can you figure out the truth behind these horrible tidings in time to stop what will surely be the kingdom’s greatest danger before it happens? For the end of the world is likely just around the corner.

Mount Freya, a frozen mountain in the north of the kingdom of Elmon. It is rumored that on the top of the snowy mountain lives the goddess which is the source of the mountain’s name: Freya, goddess of water and helper of the inhabitants of the kingdom. She has a kind, gentle, and outgoing personality and has the same incredible powers that the other gods have. She is very interested in the lives of every inhabitant of the kingdom and wants the best for each one. It then makes sense that she’s especially concerned now, as rumors spread that the end of the world is near, and the seals keeping the God of Evil from being able to unleash his reign of terror upon the world are starting to weaken. Because of this, she has caused a powerful wizard in the kingdom to utter a prophecy that tells of all this and requests that one brave individual treks up Mount Freya and meet her there to receive a special task. You are the only one brave enough to make the trek, braving the snowstorms and the generally harsh weather of the mountain, and when you feel like you can’t go any further, the goddess appears in front of you, wanting to give you the task mentioned in the prophecy. That task? Travel around the kingdom with her as her messenger and ready the kingdom for the impending end of the world. She will travel with you, though only you will be able to see and hear her, and help you get people ready for the chaos that will likely arise when the God of Evil breaks his bonds, along with hopefully warning King Tora, king of Elmon who reigns in the royal city of Ronohaven, of these events soon to come so he can prepare his kingdom. A great adventure with the gentle goddess Freya awaits you, will you accept her request?

The time is 3.54 billion years ago. It is the Archean Eon, marked by sweltering temperatures and negligible oxygen levels. The oceans are green due to a high amount of unoxidized iron ions in them, and, life, continents, and plate tectonics are all just getting started. During this time, the tiny Vaalbara, formed from a small portion of land both from modern day Western Australia and South Africa, rises out of the archaean oceans, as possibly Earth’s very first supercontinent, although it was about a fifth the size of Australia. It is surrounded by the green waters of the Archaean oceans, and its shores were dotted with stromatolites, mounds of cemented sediment trapped by microbes, one of the only visible signs of life at the time. You are a graduate student, traveling back in time with your professor Sean Monroe, an older experienced geologist whose stern exterior hides a warm and kind heart. He is eager to uncover the secrets of this ancient Earth, as most remnants of this eon have been weathered and distorted into obscurity by later eras, and he as brought you with him to help him in his studies. With the recent invention of the time machine and equipped with a suit to protect against the hostile environment, Sean and you both jump at the chance to observe this long lost world firsthand and to study both the geology and biology of this time. What will you discover here, back in time when Earth was young?
