"The year 2143, following the Great Mineral Wars the resource rich lands of the world began to peter out. The bygone nations wanted monopolies, the more they fought for minerals the more they gained, the more they gained the more the used...the more they fought. Centuries of industrialization collapsing for decades of conflict laced with greed. They had their war…they had their fun…they made their mistakes…they finally forced us to fix them…"

"When the lands are empty where do we go? Down…down to lands untouched by human hands, cradled by the oceans, protected by the depths."

“…We follow the endless shadows of the depths, chasing the fleeting embers of hope…”

“Nidrnoußidti…” (Down we go…)

– Deinrich “The Forsaken”
