"Before there was a World of Darkness there was an age of savage adventure. Astride Creation stands the Realm, the last bastion of civilization in a darkening world and monument to the Sidereal's determination to see that mankind is protected from its many foes. For centures, the Bronze Faction has maintained a chokehold on history, manipulating the Immaculate Philosophy and Scarlet Dynasty to strength its grasp on the Realm and on human history. Now, the Scarlet Empress has vanished, and the Solar Exalted have returned to Creation after their long exile. The factions teeter on the brink of civil war, new threats emerge with every passing day, and it seems as if Heaven itself will soon fall into turmoil. Against this time of tumult stand a handful of heroic Celestial officals. Though they are few in number and forgotten by history, they are unsurpassed in their wisdom their foresight and their mastery of supernatural martial arts."
