====== Introduction ======
**//An old world, so old that its memory is shattered, start over through its inhabitants' dreams, day after day. A [[fr:culno|wild territory]], wandered by ferocious beasts which tread upon forgotten lands, full of ruins eaten by vegetation where chamans dance at the glow of a campfire. In the windings of the [[fr:ratmidju|underground]], squeaking gears, clickety-clack mechanisms watch, observe, organize. From his palace of Va'itu'a, [[fr:khan|Khan of the Eons]] keeps an eye on the [[fr:brumes|Mists]]' progress and the flood of Forgetters, with anxiety. He hopes for true miracles from the Dreamwalkers, who have to dream up tomorrow's world.//**

Sometimes, the dream of a [[ra|ra]] changes a whole region; sometimes the united will of all the inhabitants changes the future. The Mists move forth and back depending on the actions of the beings who live on the Khanat. But in the shades, sombre powers watch the world's destiny, and argue bitterly on its future. You've got the power to change the world... take it !

From the arid  [[fr:desertduponant|Desert of the West]] to the frozen foothils of the  [[fr:montagne_enneigee|Snow-capped Mountain]], from the crystal-clear waters of the [[fr:lac_itsmir|Itsmir Lake]] to the idyllic shores of the [[fr:mer_des_songes|Dreaming See]], not mentionning the monumental columns of the city of [[fr:natca|Natca]] and the dark mysteries of the Crypt, discover a diverse world, where each place reserves its share of challenges: [[fr:tag:biologie:faune:start|fauna]] not really willing to share, ruins to be explored... All this is only a small [[fr:tag:geographie:territoire:start|insight]]...

And if long rambles are not enough for you, you can explore the shelves of the libraries on the trail of the world's secrets, you can learn the subtilities of the art of fighting in the Arena or in the streets, and discover thousands of other things [[fr:tag:societe:occupation:start|occupations]]((Even if, currently, this section is still a bit empty)).
