Description:

The Shadow World is Kulthea, a planet hanging on the threshold between
Order and Chaos; a place where the invisible Flows of Essence sweep
endlessly across the landscape. The Flows are the source of magical power
for the inhabitants of Kulthea, but they are also a curse: terrible
Flow-storms wreak havoc against the arcane and the mundane alike. They
open portals to other places, other times, and to the demon-dimensions.
Even worse, the Essence draws the ever-thirsty Unlife.

Once, a hundred thousand years ago, this planet was the seat of a
technologically advanced, galaxy-spanning empire, but that civilization
collapsed in an uprising against the corrupt super-race who ruled it. Now
Kulthea is home to the survivor peoples: Elves, Dwarves, reticent nymphs,
and terrifying demons Some of these beings are the result of heinous
breeding experiments by that ruling race, the K'ta'viiri. All are touched
by the magical forces blanketing the world.
A few of the ancients � and their machines � survive. The former were
locked in chronagenic stasis for a long age and are recently awakened, now
eager to reclaim their old domains. The machines wait in secret places to
be found and exploited by those who can understand their fuction. One
group who has done so is he Navigators, guilds of men who offer safe
transport via enchanted means � to those who have the gold to pay.
