The Great Races - An Extract

The Great Races - twenty seven races born during the Early Years of Life. Everyone who studies Multiversal History will always know those names. Among them:

- the Mirakhys (now the Sykharim)

- the Tyrgholl

- the Hegemonians

- the Vythrandar

- the Gorin'thalas (now the Pythraeneons)

- the Nakraynal

- the Voolan

- the Rjaar

- the Sidious

- the Loreans

- the Ganthrians

Each of these races became the first who dominated the Multiverse, and who were the first who met the all-powerful Technolords, at the time on their Great Vigil to discover new races within the Multiverse. However, out of the twenty-seven Great Races, now only nine remain: the Sykharim, the Pythraeneons, the Sidious, the Ganthrians, the Tyrgholl, the Vaydani, the the Hegemonians, the Koorish, and the Daariqal.

No one can say for certain for how long these races will last. The Tyrgholl are retreating to the safety of their god's home within the lost Silence; the Chaos-worshipping Sykharim are dwindling in numbers after countless failed crusades against Order; the Koorish are fleeing from their now-destroyed homeworld; their time is running out. How much longer will they remain on the face of the Multiverse?
