NANOK is Coming...

"This barbarian, this man of the Iron Wastes, was known only as Nanok.  Rumored to have been raised by wolves, Nanok thrived and grew among the giant, rusted bones and shattered crystal tears of a long-forgotten empire.  Now, Nanok lived the life of a wanderer and sell-sword, reaver and pirate, thief and gladiator.  A drinker of ale, a lover of women, and a slayer of men...usually - but not always - in that order."

Know, oh prince, that between the years when the ate Lemuria and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Daughters of Medea, there was an Age undreamed of, when rusting kingdoms lay spread across the world like red mantles beneath the stars--Aidemen, Rihpo, Ainuhtyrb, Aerobrepyh, Aromaz with its white-haired women and towers of insect-haunted mystery, Aragniz with its chivalry, Htok that bordered on the urban lands of Mehs, Aigyts with its light-guarded tombs, Ainakryh whose riders wore titanium and kevlar and aluminum. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Ainoliuqa, reigning supreme in the waking west. Hither came Nanok, the Nairemmic, black-haired, sullen-eyed,sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."

That was supposed to be "when the fires ate." Oh Well.
