From the mists,
I return.

The record of a parallel world, witnessed from its first morning and carried home at last.

The witness speaks

I left this world a long time ago, in the years your histories call the beginning of the dark ages, when the groves were burning and my island took itself into the mist. Where the mist set us down, a goddess stood waiting on the beach. I watched her dance a world into being. I walked in that world for millennia, writing down what the people living inside it told me. I was asked to carry all of it home when I was done.

Welcome to the world of Zemiya. It is time for you to meet her creation.

Enter the world

A world. A record. A witness who was there for all of it.

World

Zemiya

A parallel world, danced into being by a goddess, running alongside our own history the whole way. Come in where the telling starts: an age when magic has been driven underground, and everything forbidden survives in secret.

From the record

"Those were dark days indeed, for no sun penetrated the mists. Dark were our thoughts as we floated in uncertainty that bordered on despair."
