Saturday	9:00am	Dire Straits	Metamorphosis Alpha 1st Edition	The village shaman tells stories of the Old Times, when Man lived a life of leisure. The people lived as royalty, not on Warden, but in the Garden of Eden, having their every desire met by fantastic tools given by God, some of which the most devout can still use today. (This is usually where the shaman displays an artifact of the ancients to the wonder of the crowd.) But over time, the people became arrogant: believing that with their marvelous tools, they were God s equals. God became angry with the people, and sent his angel, Radiation, to reap his divine retribution. Yet God still loved Man, and choose to have mercy on His creation. Instead of utterly destroying Man, God scattered the people, forcing them to leave the garden and their tools behind. He sent them to the Barren Hills of Warden, to live a humble life toiling in the wilderness focusing on their faith instead of their tools. The people eventually followed the Ranger River to Lake Refuge and there built the village of Habitat, where Man lives to this day. Can you survive in a world gone mad?

If so, then welcome to the world of Warden.
