By mastering the magical forces of creation and dealing with the deities who govern them, you must establish a fantasy empire and confront other wizards in a struggle for world domination.”

The state of the world had been forcefully returned to the state before the humans came. But the world had changed; the humans were destined to govern the world. The Wizard King Gabriel, the hidden Evermore ally in High Men path of the Champaign knew this and that it would be a matter of time before the world would return to chaos.

Fearing that his seat of power would be overtaken by one of his rebel wizards, Gabriel is unable to intervene in the mortal realm, leaving him trapped on Evermore. But when a promising human champion steps through death’s door, Gabriel creates a new wizard, a human ally, and successor to the wizard throne. In this young human, the power of magic is very strong. Resembling both the old and the new, he is the perfect candidate to solve the world’s problems. This young human is called Merlin.
