Two hundred years have passed since the Catastrophe, and the once-powerful Realm of Arcadia lays in ruins - small Arcadian settlements are scattered across islands and floating in between clouds in the Uncharted Seas.

The Arcadian knowledge is still highly regarded despite the decimation of most of their creations, but life is difficult under the constant threat from wandering groups of Direfolk, Goblins, and Ogres from the Outlands.

However, hope lives on in a band of adventurers set on a quest to bring peace and order back to their crumbling civilization. On a distant island they discover the entrance to a mythical underground complex called the Chronos Dungeon, deep wherein lies the Paradigm Hourglass - an object so powerful it can alter the course of history and return the world to its former glory.
