Revelry and sloth absorb the time as Earth spins its last few courses and prepares to plunge to eternal night. Through this dim and distant world roam men and women seeking magic, beauty, knowledge, satisfaction for their lusts - Mazirian the Magician, T'sais, created in a sorcerer's vat, Blikdak, the tumor of man's lechery, and Guyal of Sfere, who hunts for knowledge beneath the rotted Museum of Man."; >>.
