> Welcome, curious explorer, to the Vastlands. To a time beyond the end of time.
> 
> Here, in the heart of the world, is the Circle Sea, the pond of panhumanity surrounded by polychrome lands. An overgrown garden of humanity, here neat, there feral, sprawling out of sight of its absentee Builders, safely kept by the inscrutable might of its warden angels, the Phylakes.
> 
> There, to the west, the psychedelic Ultraviolet Grasslands stretch beyond the edge of civilization and its faded histories, a deep, vast, mythic steppe littered with the detritus of time and space and memory.
> 
> Safe travels at the end of time, beyond the edge of the last safe world.
