Five hundred years have passed since the Sleeper was awakened, and a turbulent new era has fallen upon Norrath.

The world has been rocked by terrible cataclysms. Destruction has rained down from the skies. The gods of old are silent. The ancient empires of the elder races lie in ruins and their surviving populations have scattered, searching desperately for shelter and leadership. The human cities of Freeport and Qeynos-mysteriously spared the devastation inflicted upon the rest of Norrath-have become the havens for refugees from all across the Shattered Lands.

"While our enemies quake in terror, we embrace the nightmare. We are the nightmare. Norrath is ours."
- Lucan D'Lere

"We shall always endeavor to become who we are in our dreams. In defiance of the nightmares all of Norrath must endure."
- Antonia Bayle
