It has been since time immemorial that the strong rule over the weak, such is the case especially so in the world of Kigal where might and magic set the precedence on whether you live like king or like slave. This rule, like everything in life, has its exceptions; it is not unheard of for great heroes to rise beyond their station and take their place amongst the annals of history. The story written in these pages is about one such hero, if that is what you wish to call him, for on his journey to greatness he has shammed himself countless times, and still the Clockmaker moves forward for he is the shepherd, and time? His sheep.
