A thousand years after these events, time mixed truth and lies, giving the descendants of the survivors a new god - ignorance.

It is in this duchy that the paths of heroes converge, who should revive myths and legends. To remember the past. Or forget him forever.
Pekhov Alexey – Master of Dreams
Sleep is something we need constantly. A person can live without food for a month, without water for a week; if he is completely deprived of sleep, he goes crazy on the fifth day and dies. In the world of dreams, the laws of morality, human society and the state do not apply. Sleep is not limited in space and time; a minute here easily stretches to a year, and a month is compressed to a second. It is limitless and eternal, capturing entire continents, universes and millennia. Capable of crumbling at the touch of a butterfly's wing, and the loudest scream cannot destroy it.
In dreams we are helpless and omnipotent. Monsters and the most beautiful creatures lurk in it. This is a time of relaxation, brilliant discoveries, dreams come true, unimaginable nightmares, pleasure, illusions, healing, peace, death.
Neither people, nor animals, nor gods can resist his power...
Pekhov Alexey – Trap for the spirit
They are the ones who live underground, in air, water and fire. Those who steal our thoughts and wander through our dreams feed on our fears and desires. Lies, truth, reality, nightmares and fiction are subject to them. The true rulers of this world. The strongest are trying to resist. The weak flee or die. But never on their way did they meet someone who was able to understand. To come to an agreement with them
Pekhov Alexey – Spellcasters
They are the ones who blow out the fire in our hearths. Those who squeak floorboards in old houses. They live in the hollows of dead trees, squeak with mouse-like voices and look out from the collapsed windows of ruined temples. They are the spirits that rule this world, and people are just a hindrance to their pranks, toys in their hands... They laugh at us, but they are afraid of those whom they call spellcasters
