The discovery of “The Elixir” – a potion which replicates man’s seed and, in the eyes of the MuQin, renders men obsolete – has left the Island of Uchukawn locked in an eon-long battle for supremacy, long after the oceans have reclaimed the land. In this constant war, no sign of a victor has ever been apparent… until now.
