Two centuries after a devastating catastrophe reduced Arcadia to scattered settlements clinging to isolated islands and sky-bound refuges, a band of determined adventurers pursues a desperate mission to restore their fractured civilization. The Arcadian people, though diminished and beleaguered by attacks from creatures dwelling in the Outlands, retain fragments of their ancestors' wisdom and refuse to surrender to despair. When the heroes stumble upon the entrance to Chronos Dungeon—a legendary subterranean fortress hidden on a remote island—they catch sight of a possibility for salvation: within its depths rests the Paradigm Hourglass, a legendary artifact with the power to rewrite history itself and resurrect Arcadia to its former splendor.
