yHISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE:
g THE DUNGEONS OF THE UNFORGIVEN
ARE LOCATED SOMEWHERE NEAR AN OLD
PLANET NAMED EART. MOST RESIDENTS
OF THE DUNGEONS BELIEVE THAT THEY
LIVE ON A PLANET, BUT MORE HIGHLY
EDUCATED CREATURES BELIEVE THAT
THEY LIVE WITHIN SOME SHIP OR
STRUCTURE OF SOME SORT.
r IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DUNGEONS
WERE POPULATED BY THE MANY SPECIES
THAT ONCE LIVED IN HARMONY ON EART.
THE DUNGEONS WERE SOME KIND OF
OUTPOST THAT APPARENTLY SURVIVED THE
FOOLISH RACE-WARS THAT WERE INSPIRED
BY THE HUMANS. NON-HUMAN CREATURES
AT FIRST COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY
HUMANS HELD SUCH HATRED FOR OTHER
RACES. THEN THIS HATRED SPREAD UNTIL
EVERY GROUP HATED EVERY OTHER GROUP.
b AFTER THE WARS, ETHNO-CENTRIC
IDEOLOGY SPREAD TO OTHER SPECIES,
AND THE DUNGEONS WERE DIVIDED INTO
SEPARATE REGIONS INHABITED BY GROUPS
OF SIMILAR CREATURES.

yMORE HISTORY (PAGE 2)
g NOW ADVENTURERS EXPEDITION INTO
THE DUNGEONS IN SEARCH OF OLD
MAGICAL TREASURES, AND MONEY. THEY
FIND NO ALLIES, AND FIND THEY MUST
BATTLE EVERYTHING THEY MEET.
r THE MOST DESIREABLE TARGETS OF
THESE ADVENTURERS ARE THE SHADOW
MONSTERS WHO ARE THE LEADERS OF EACH
SECTION. EACH SHADOW MONSTER HAS A
SPECIAL POWERFUL ONE-OF-A-KIND ITEM
WHICH IS OF GREAT USE.
b IT IS ALSO SAID, THAT AT SOME
POINT IN THE PAST THERE WAS NO
MAGIC. FEW BELIEVE THIS MYTH, BUT
THOSE WHO DO, BELIEVE THAT ANCIENT
PEOPLE HAD A THING CALLED 'SIENSE'
THAT WAS SORT OF LIKE MAGIC.
o BACK IN THE 'SIENSE' DAYS, THERE
WERE GREAT UNDERGROUND CITIES WITH
HUGE MECHANICAL STRUCTURES MOVING
THROUGH GIANT STREETS, BETWEEN HUGE
HOUSES THAT WERE MANY STORIES HIGH.

g THESE GREAT MOVING STRUCTURES
WERE USUALLY OWNED BY MERCHANTS WHO
TRAVELLED THE UNDERWORLD, BUYING
FROM HUGE FACTORIES, AND SELLING TO
HUGE MARKETPLACES THAT WERE CALLED
SUPER-STORES, AND WERE RUN BY
'EMBAS'. THERE WERE ALSO 'LAWERS',
BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY WERE FOR.
r THE ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT THAT
CONTAINS THIS KNOWLEDGE IS CALLED
'MERCHANTS OF THE UNDERWORLD.' WHOLE
RELIGIONS HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND IT.
b A COMPETING MANUSCRIPT PREDICTS
THAT IN THE FUTURE, THE CREATURES
THAT INHABIT THE DUNGEONS WILL FIND
A HUGE OPEN WORLD, IN WHICH A SUN
SHINES BRIGHTLY IN THE SKY, AND
THERE ARE MOUNTAINS, FORESTS,
STREAMS, AND OCEANS TO EXPLORE AND
ENJOY. SOME BELIEVE THAT THEY WILL
BE ABLE TO LEAVE THE DARKNESS OF
THE DUNGEONS OF THE NEW WORLD, BUT
SOME BELIEVE THAT MOST WILL STILL
SPEND ALL THEIR TIME IN DARK, DANK
DUNGEONS. THE WORLD IS CALLED
MORAFF'S WORLD.
