The Universe of Metis, like its counterparts, is based on the design of Homados. The Goddess of Metis, Vena, decides to find her own spot of amusement; a battle royale of top players from various game genres all smashed into one world: The Realm. Jax Dwams is the undisputed Master Hand of Ivory Online, the world's leading MMO title. Ivory Online attained greatness for one reason: It's merging of RTS - Real Time Strategy - elements with RPG - Role Playing Game - mechanics, creating a world class hybrid. Jax is invited to this battle royale, unaware he's being drawn into something he had no understanding of. Now the Lord of a fledgling Kingdom as well as a frontline vanguard, he must cycle between exploring the vastness of the realm and protect his town from its growing enemies. Unfortunately for Jax, Vena demands more than just survival. She demands entertainment.

I discovered these four letters in a place I cannot disclose. Each of them contains a tale (or so I thought). Actually, they were not tales, but testimonies of people who had met the Magi of Bethlehem. The strangest thing is that one of the letters dates back to the first Christian centuries, one to the early Middle Ages, one, obviously, is from 1646, and the last from 1822. How the Magi got to these places at different times in history is a mystery. What I can prove and demonstrate is that these are absolutely genuine testimonies. All I have added to them are the (hopefully, but by no means certainly, adequate) titles.

As the Pyrates in the West-Indies have been so formidable and numerous, that they have interrupted the Trade of Europe into those Parts; and our English Merchants, in particular, have suffered more by their Depredations, than by the united Force of France and Spain, in the late War: We do not doubt but the World will be curious to know the Original and Progress of these Desperadoes, who were the Terror of the trading Part of the World. But before we enter upon their particular History, it will not be amiss, by way of Introduction, to shew, by some Examples drawn from History, the great Mischief and Danger which threaten Kingdoms and Commonwealths, from the Increase of these sort of Robbers; when either by the Troubles of particular Times, or the Neglect of Governments, they are not crush'd before they gather Strength.
