The story begins in Candace, the capital of the Union of Superior Worlds, a small planet from which all the universes are ruled. On Candace live a couple, the siblings and husband and wife Khilayan and Ayenhea, who decide the fate of all the known worlds. When the great Father of all the universes decided who would succeed him, he made sure that this responsibility would fall to his son, Khilayan, and in so doing by-passed Khilayan's older siblings, the twins Zarek and Odesssa. In an attempt to smooth things over, Khilayan himself put his siblings in charge of a new world, to guide the evolution of its inhabitants. But Zarek and Odessa decided to genetically modify those beings to make them their slaves. The degeneration caused on Tamait was such that the Council of the Union of Superior Worlds decided to isolate the planet, along with its inhabitants.
