Seeded by starships from Earth, the world of Erm developed at different rates. Those people living in the east around the continent of Dakana did not retain the technology brought by the ships. Consequently, their rate of development was slower than those living in the western part of the world but this was being rectified quite quickly now.The avatars of Earth who had accompanied the original ships were worried that the planet would suffer total destruction from pilfering of natural resources by the Orion confederation. Knowing that crystal skulls had been imbued with power by beings in Atlantis, they decide to utilise these hidden powers in raising a barrier around Erm.After finding all the skulls, the avatars realised that there was one more to find which would bind the power to complete the barrier around the planet, the Golden Skull.The Golden Skull had been in safekeeping with the Pleiadean council, who now had requested a being who could fly between worlds to return it to Erm; the dragon Geraunt.Meanwhile, the avatars had requested various groups to combine to complete the mission of fetching the skull from the dragon and thereby erecting the barrier and while they are doing this, there are other mysteries revealed.
