Elinor… a huge continent, situated in the middle of a boundless ocean. The nature of this world is rich and diverse – hight mountains, deep forests, endless prairies, severe snows of the North and arid deserts of the South.

The Valley of the Ancestors, situated in the heart of continent, is a cradle of civilization. It is exactly here that the new civilisation was born, the third race of the human generation. Eight nations, originated from the Valley of the Ancestors, created their own governments in different parts of the continent. Wise Djunits, reckless Guawars, fearless Itoshins, elucidated Ulutau, discreet Vedichs, mighty Taurs, inventive Tausmatus, careless Chekatta – the inhabitants of Elinor experienced the grief and happiness, prosperities and declines, wars and peaceful days.

In the year 530 of the Third Era, the unconceivable happened… The valley became deserted! One day its population simply disappeared without a trace. The rulers of all the Elinor nations began to assemble convoys of warriors, sages, traders and settlers to re-fill the Great Cities with life and find out what had actually happened in the Valley of the Ancestors. Become the head of the unit of adventurers or take one of the Mighty Peoples under your control. Join in the deadly struggle for the power in the Valley of the Ancestors!

“Contraction” is the variant for the ones who want to play a quick, dynamic game with the minimal set of tokens of the Mighty Peoples.
