Once upon a time, in a faraway land, inside a kingdom of great riches, belonging to a library of radiant glory, was a little book that told incredible tales of times long past. This text was the most sought-after book in the world, and many collectors wished it was in their libraries.

It was rumored that this tome held the secrets to the universe and could answer any question many philosophers may have had. The book's secrets were closely guarded by the king of this kingdom and all his people, using a strange technology they had learned from the ancient text.

Then, one day, a great earthquake struck the land, forcing the continents to rearrange and shift. When all was said and done, the kingdom was seen no more. It was rumored that it was at the bottom of the ocean, where the king took his people to continue protecting the book from those who wished to possess the tome.
