An ark bore them into the Vault of Night, powered by prayers to the god-head Sol Invictus. A new Jerusalem was erected among the stars; a pinnacle of humanity's greatness. As time progressed, the memory of Eden was lost to a new dawn, regarded only as a faint echo in convocations to Sol Invictus. But then came The Other - and with it - the destruction of New Jerusalem. Left with no other choice, humanity returned to Eden... but it was not the world they remembered.
