The Storyteller

""Several years after its abandonment, an Overseer was sent to ensure that the Scorched Earth experiment was a failure, after all, it wouldn't be the first ARK that managed to retain human life after it was deemed barren.

The scorched land was unstable, that much was known, but what was not known what the degree of instability. Upon visiting this world, the Overseer was almost immediately trapped in time, due to an unforeseen fluctuation.

While trapped in the space between reality, the Overseer could not summon his fellows, and as such, could not receive help. He was presumed dead.

The reality was much crueler. Trapped, for an eternity. Naturally, he went insane, before getting bored of that after a few thousand eons, and going sane again. It was further eons again, before he began to...explore.

He discovered that time itself was his to play with. In becoming trapped, he was infused with the land. He knew all that was, and all that will be.

The Storyteller was born.
