The year was around 2350. The Earth had changed after the "catastrophe," yet remained the same. It was the end of the technological era. A kind of mutant, though still human, had appeared within a regressive humanity.
Alexandre, a solitary herbalist, fleeing his contemporaries who, like him, were survivors of this upheaval, one day encountered the unexpected in the form of a child, a shepherd with extraordinary abilities; an encounter that would brutally change his destiny.
This would be the beginning of the Legend.
The beginning of the adventure.
Along with a few others, he will be drawn to the Land of the Sun-Eyed Men, for whom the laws of Nature no longer apply. He will set off for an island where Soranil, the Queen who conquered Death, resides.
But Alexandre does not yet know what role he will have to play with one of the island's inhabitants, Joycha, his lifelong companion.
