Verden is a world of different sorts. Though it has elves and dwarves, giants, fae, and all manner of fantastical creatures, it has a very many wondrous things that make it particularly special. Ahh, I see I now have your attention. You probably thought this was going to be another tale, stuck in the doldrums that is the very paradigm of fantasy. Well, in this world every human can fly...Like a bird!!No, not like a bird, for these people have no wings!! But then, if they had wings would they not be Angels? But that is a story for another time... Where was I... Ah yes, in this world where every human can fly, there is a small village, it is a new village not twenty years old. In this village, a little boy is born. Though this boy was born without the ability to fly, this is his story. Hehehe, I see your by your face you probably thought I was going to tell you a marvelous tale of flying and adventure. Don't worry I think this boy will surprise you but before I get to him, I shall tell you how this world came to be...
