From Introduction: Centuries ago, when the Earth was young and humankind not yet the power that it is now, the horned god challenged the other deities for supremacy and was rebuffed. Younger gods ran roughshod over the horned lands, and the cult of the horned god was forced to lay low and bide its time. It has watched other faiths come and go, yet the horned ones remain true and swear to rise again to power.
