PROLOGUE: At the dawn of time, the Creator brought all the gleaming jewels of the universe, with all their secrets, into the light. One of these jewels was Septerra - with a secret buried deep in its core. Seven different continents, called the World Shells, orbit the Core. The Core is a gigantic bio-computer which controls the rotation of the continents. Ancient legends tell that one day in the far-off future, the Creator will allow the inhabitants of Septerra to receive his power and save their world from destruction.
