Without warning, a sudden blackout.

It was as if a single light switch controlling all power across our known world had been switched off.

After what seemed like hours or days but was only seconds, a blinding wave of light washed over everyone, overwhelming their darkness-adjusted eyes.

As the universe came back into focus, there was something left behind.

Paths of pure energy.

Tracks of light stretching on to infinity in all directions.

That was a thousand years ago.

No one knows where the energy beams came from.

No one knows who or what put them there, but our world has flourished and expanded beyond our wildest dreams.

Entire worlds discovered and settled with cities built around the tracks of energy.

The races started as a way to celebrate our salvation.

Soon, they became a way of life.

Dynasties have risen and fallen on their outcomes. No matter what world you visit, you will witness the guiding principle.

Anyone can win because the paths saved us all.
