7,000 years ago the world was plunged into chaos. On the eve of the Great Catastrophe a group of men seek to safeguard the world from the Lord Arkon, a tyrannical, otherworldly being whose plans for humanity are nothing less than complete and total corruption and subjugation. Damiron en Tillandra the Great Warrior Priest of the Dominion of Lemuria and his student and friend Ethin en Malandra the leader of the Shadow Hunters, set out to keep the Genesis Codex out of the hands of the Lord Arkon and return it to the temple of Knowledge. With the relentless Serpent Guardians in pursuit of them, the two men and a detachment of Shadow Hunters set out across the plains of Shinar. During their quest they battle with the vicious enforcers of the Lord Arkon and come face to face with the great flood that cleanses the world foretold by the Prophet.
