Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be the Progenitors of a new race? Humanity was crushed. For thousands of year humanity reigned supreme on the world of Eden. Through their technology they achieved wonders. Until the Elder races arrived. With their magic they crushed the humans and destroyed their technology and knowledge for their magic could do what science deemed impossible. Enter Julius Ishtar prince of the Kingdom of Ishtar and his academy appointed squad mates who all attend the same military officer prep school. Julius has always hated the injustices the other races show but what can he do about them? That all changes when they are sent on a routine patrol. a patrol that becomes deadly really quickly. In a moment of desperation Julius does something that will change the very fabric of his and his squad’s lives. They will be joined by other pioneers who will join them in being legends. Now they must accept their role and lead those who join them, they are the Progenitors!
