Future Folk
Many centuries have passed since the downfall of Grohmul Djun, and the
World of Two Moons has changed immeasurably. Human civilization
now extends far beyond the confines of their planet, a history of
progress and growth now separating the population from the savage brutality
of their ancestors. Space-faring vessels probe the outer reaches
of their solar system. The nations and continents of their world - now named Abode -
are now united as a one-world government under the command of
their Matriarch and leader, the Doma. Humankind itself has begun to
unlock the secrets of telepathy, but as for the Elves, Trolls and
Preservers, only mysterious legends of the so-called "Sojourners"
remain. And, of course, a smattering of artifacts, clues and
strange figures, among them the elusive Jink, the "white-haired
star-daughter." Then there are the "Neverending," a threatening
alien culture within which exists a treacherous air of slippery
protocol, misunderstanding and conflict.
The answer to the question "What happened to the Elves?" may be found only through the efforts of Jink and a small band
of outlaws known as The Rebels. Their joint destiny seems tied up with
the forgotten myths of the Sojourners. In a world of apparent
order and inexplicable menace, guarded over by keepers of lost
secrets, all possibilities remain open, with so much still left
to lose...
