Opaal, the world of the forest, divided in to five kingdom. Ages ago, when the world was young and women and men still children, an old race ruled the immense forests. They were the Titans and they lived in a city of light and all was good on earth, thanks to the magical stones which held many secrets the Titans had deciphered. Because they were good and honest rulers they one day shared these secrets with mankind. Not much later they suddenly disappeared, like the people on Easter island, leaving empty houses and unfinished artwork behind. As often before and as it will be in the future, a new and corrupt order of ruthless rulers grew on the remnants of the Titans, the order of the light, making negative use of the magical stones. 
Melkior, master glassblower, and his wife had twins. A boy and a girl. At what time we do not know, but Melkior and Urfold knew pretty early on that the boy had something special. That he was chosen to at a certain time play an important role in the history of the planet. Melkior and his brother Urfold decided to both raise a child. Urfold left with the girl Slevo and Melkor kept the boy Darko.  
When Slevo was a young woman she worked as assistant for her uncle who was a traveling minstrel, storyteller. Slevo was a dancer who could hypnotize her audience with her mysterious and sexually laden acts. One day she learned from Urfold that her brother Darko, who lived in a village with the brother of Urfold, Melkor, was a chosen one. There had been a magical stone in their family for generation.  Slevo then started a long and tiresome journey with her brother and Urfold and a lady called Tara through the vast world to the old holy places, once the residence of the Titans, to claim what by heritage was to be owned by her brother Darko and restore some of the wrong that had be done by the Order of the Light since the disappearance of the Titans
