“Once, men were gods. We saw clearly and had the power to act on our discoveries. Atum-Ra stole our
divinity and locked our senses.
1
‘Thou shalt be blind to the truth and see only that which is false! Thine powers art fettered and
thine souls bound to mortal flesh.’
With these words, Atum-Ra drew power from the other Aeons and locked us in the prison we call
Reality. We are fallen angels, shipwrecked in a false reality. A condition that hides even the fact that we
are imprisoned. For millennia men have believed that they were meant to be mortal. Meant to be the
pawns and playthings of higher powers. Destined to short, brutish lives and ending in eternal
punishment in some burning purgatory. We have accepted this without ever asking the Truth.”
- “On Approaching Gnosis”, Thule Anathrak, Lord Eternal Karnath, Lord of the Black Ring
Mankind has not always been ignorant. Before the dawn of history, we had senses that could perceive
the whole of Reality. We were born as gods, with power over matter and the ability to create that which
we desired. Our existence on A’Earth, our inability to see the Truth is CAPTIVITY. Those few people who
manage to break through the Illusion and into the true world may escape from the prison and regain
their divinity.
There are many ways to perceive Reality. The most common is one that is centered on Atum-Ra. It was
Atum-Ra that blinded us, long ago, and imprisoned us. He locked us into the Reality we now see around
us and made Eden invisible to us.
Some claim that Atum-Ra created the world, or our part of it. He calls himself the Maker. It is believed
that he felt threatened by Humanity. Perhaps a rule was broken, or perhaps he was Human and feared
the potential of his own species. Whatever the reason, he inserted a curse into our souls, a curse that
confines us to a limited view of what truly is. Up to the present, very few have managed to overcome
this curse. With the aid of his servants and other Aeons, Atum-Ra has kept Humanity shackled, locked
inside a prison designed to keep us ignorant.
Like pawns in a greater game, our destinies are controlled by a lost tyrant and his minions. In our prison,
we live together with unknown creatures and dark forces arrayed against us. We live our lives without
ever knowing what surrounds us – the things hidden behind the Illusion.
Our worlds and the known dimensions rotate around a heart of darkness, a complex clockwork of
Illusion and Reality. This heart of darkness is the Citadel of Ammon-Re. In its awesome halls, fearsome
beings and sacred artifacts await the return of their master.
Darkness and light emanate from the Citadel and fierce storms rage above its cloud shrouded towers.
The windows are black and there are no signs of life within.

Surrounding the Citadel in a great ring are the strongholds of the Aeons and beyond those lie the cities
and gardens of Eden, the first home of Humanity. Absent its intended inhabitants, Eden has fallen to
2
ruin. Like a cancer the darkness spreads, growing and expanding – swallowing more and more of the
other dimensions of space and time. Jagged, towering spires, halls filled only with echoes, and streets of
littered with ancient, forgotten memories now house innumerable creatures created by Ammon-Re or
his servants. Twisted to bestiality by the passage of time and the madness that comes from losing their
purpose, they live in the shadow of the Citadel and all quest, in their own way, for the Truth of the
master’s disappearance.
Eden also hosts the remnants of worlds created by other beings. In these shadowy realms, forgotten
gods and creatures that spawned our own legends roam. They make their home in the darkest of
alleyways, the most wretched of dwellings, and the ravaged wreck of the once beautiful city of Eden.
From the remains of Eden, one can gain access to the prisons of Humanity. It is within these prisons that
we are bound – kept and confined through every state of consciousness from birth, life, death and
dream. Echoes of lost legends name these prisons as Elysium, Limbo, and Inferno.
Humanity, in all its forms and scattered races, are spread throughout these prisons, chained to the
ground by fear of the Unknown. We are limited by our own worries, fear of divine justice and anxiety
that our dark actions will eventually emerge from the past and demand retribution.
The most trusted servants of Ammon-Re, the Aeons, have turned his perfect creation into a jail. They
control our lives, our dreams, and the very fires of our damnation. They drive their dark designs in a
constant assault upon our very souls. They are the wardens of this jail – a Jail of Night from which we
much strive to escape at all cost.
