Endless deserts, tortured by angry samun, the desert wind, sweeping the shadow-haunted tombs and ancient ruins with his sand scourge. Land of mysteries and shadows, deserts and marches, land of the great snake god Set. This is Stygia, in which ancient tombs, built before time, are moving shadows far older then the human race. Lurking and waiting for their chance, cold-blooded and ruthless, snowing the web of pre-human magic around the kingdoms of men.
And in the sands of this black land, there is a Lost city. Long forgoten by the people, only sages are aware of it presence in the dunes of the Southern desert. Its builder came from the great empire of Atlantis, before the greedy ocean has swallow it in the time of the Great Cataclysm. And now, all is forgotten, the ashes of time has shrouded the city build by this race. Only the immortal remnants of the past are dwelling behind his walls, waiting for a new beggining of their kind.
