Tâlreth had been a great kingdom, once. Five great cities had once stood the tests of time and the trials of war. Now four if those cities were ruins, and one was made of glass. The Titans that had brought this devastation still plodded across Tâlreth, with steps the size of towns and the shadow of a mountain.

But although the area was lawless, loving in fear of the behemoths that wrought destruction, there were secrets yet to be uncovered.

To the East lay the Great Seal, a massively ornate circle set into the ground, with the power to ward away the Titans. The capital city of Rinâs was still glass, transformed in an event known as The Flash.

The last bastion of civilization was in the hills to the West, where few Titans roamed. Here in the ruins of Uutoron was where the remenants of the cutthroat gangs and syndicates that had held the real power in the dying days of Tâlreth had moved.

There are lost artifacts, long forgotten stories, secrets hidden for a thousand years. And yet, until now, few have dared to venture in.

So yeah. Tâlreth was perhaps the first great kingdom, gone into decline even before the game had started. It was never meant to last, but I wanted to stay involved to a certain extent. But come one people, there's this area on the map marked "ruins" practically screaming out "EXPLORE ME" and no one has been biting.

Here's to hoping that this galvanizes some of you into action.
