In another time, another place there existed the mysterious world of Sandora.  A place rich in culture and art.  For many generations the different cultures fought a civil war, each wanting their own unique artistic expression recognized and respected.  Finally after many rises and falls Sandora finally established peace and harmony and her people came together in celebration.

On the anniversary of the time known as “The Enlightening”, twelve representatives from each of the cultures gathered together to celebrate the anniversary of this events.  These representatives who can best be described as “The Muses” were selected by their cultures as the best in the crafts and expressionism and skills as not only warriors but ambassadors as well.

As the celebrations begin a being from another world with mysterious and unique powers opens a “vortex” between it’s world and the world of Sandora and The Muses are swept away from their home and arrive in a new world, our world.

When they arrive they are given human form and human emotions.  Initially lost and confused they soon find an unlikely home and secret.  Deep within the buildings of the old cemetery from which they have arrived The Muses discover and unique underground world.  The underground is a series of tunnels and caverns that lead to mysterious places and characters.

The Muses come together and they begin a to discover the secrets of their new home and start a quest for the journey to their true home…but not everything is as it first appears….

This is the adventure that is….
