There are some hard and fast rules every businessman lives and dies by: The customer is always right, even if he's a blood thirsty vampire who can ripe your throat open and drain you dry on a whim. If you don't have what he wants in stock, try and sell him what you've got. And if he doesn't like what you've got? Then...Everybody needs new clothes sooner or later, even the creatures of the night. But pity the poor sales clerk who has a vampire for a customer. No matter, in retail, you never know what's going to come through the door: maybe a shoplifter or an undead teenager who wants to buy the same sports coat he wore in 1959. If it is the latter, you're still going to be expected to greet him with a smile and make the sale. Even if it costs you your life.

In the Second Age of Magic, a war broke out between Man and the Necroms and by the middle of the Second Age, Man was nearly wiped from creation. Those who survived fled Wellspring and journeyed across the sea into the unknown, finding new homes and creating fortified domains. In the Third and final Age of Magic, Man established five island kingdoms: Commery, Fletching, Morgog, Swelldom, and Hort.In the First Age of Metal, Man turned from the lost art of magic to the might of weapons as they discovered iron then steel. Large armies were created, and Man fought amongst themselves, forgetting the Necroms into myth. For generations the wars continued until an arranged marriage between the two strongest kingdoms of Commery and Morgog ceased the bloodshed, and so Man established the first Emperor and Empress and the tradition of Amalgamation. When both the Emperor and Empress of the Five Kingdoms died, the two strongest kingdoms' heirs married and crowned a new dynasty, and so began the Age of Amalgamation.During this age, a witch placed a curse on a girl named Pluck.

Froth with paradox, the subject of time travel simply put is mind boggling.World population exceeded seven billion On March 12, 2012. Assuming a moderate population growth of 1% annually, world population numbers a mere five hundred years later will exceed one trillion people. If you think the government isn't aware of this you should perhaps remove your head from the sand.In the very near future, wars will be fought, not for the purpose of gaining political control, not to seize control of natural resources, but for the sole purpose of reducing the population of our planet. Citizens of this world are unaware that governments are even now considering annihilation of the masses by using nuclear weapons on their own population.Time travel has always been a subject left to fiction writers and movie makers but maybe the origins of life and the sustaining of life in our universe have more in common with time travel than you think.
