"For a time, there was Numen. Then the Nua came, and from Numen they crafted a city of Glass, and soon all was Numenua to them. But then the Shattering Glass struck, and Numenua was no longer one, but now many countless Shards.
While it is true that most has been forgotten of our Numenua because of the Ashen Curse, the Shards themselves never forgot. On these many, many Shards are worlds of their own; filled with peoples, creatures, lands, and kingdoms reborn.
Their histories might not be remembered, but the Shards' wear is visible to all. These are lands and realms that have been harrowed by the battles of gods, shaped by the hands of ancient beings, and branded by the ruined marks of mortal-kind.
Still, these are also worlds of great wonder, of forgotten and majestic landscapes, of rich and varied cultures, and of lost legacies waiting to be rediscovered and retaken."
