Long ago, before the Lutrosy Empire, powerhouse of the southern continent, there existed a small sect of priests who worshipped an unknown god of history. This god is said to have given onto it's few worshippers a piece of itself, The Tome of Past. The one who carries the tome is said to have been given a great mission. To collect the stories of the deceased to put into the tome. It is said by the ancient stories and the whispers of superstitious peasants that the tome grants an individual the ability to experience the past of the deceased. However, the Tome is thought to have been lost during the formation of the Lutrosy empire when King Francesco Severoth marched his armies to West Replure and conquered his brother's lands before unifying the middle of the southern continent. Now, with the tome becoming ancient legend, there are few who believe it existed at all. After all such a powerful artifact would have been found by now by the machinations of lore obsessed wizards or god inspired clerics yet it remains lost. But fate is a mysterious beast, a book that many powerful figures would risk their lives for ends up in the hands of a young man who knows not it's true value... Hi, I'm the creator of this story, I go by Flyingtelop as my online handle. I made an unfinished story awhile back that was really bad. I've returned with a vengeance though and learned more about writing. This is a significantly improved product from my other story, The Forest Of Madness. This story will not have a consistent upload schedule, I plan to put everything I have into this novel so each chapter will take a lot of time for me to complete. Each chapter will hold at least 10,000 words of hopefully decent quality. If a chapter's bad I will literally rewrite the chapter so it shows as much quality as I can muster - Flyingtelop
