The consciousness of the eternals manifests itself in the universe as an ever-flowing stream of wisdom. When the Children open their souls to it by quieting their minds, they can perceive its undulating waves of knowledge. And when the children die, their souls travel to the heavens, and join the eternal flow, and together, they commune with the One. This is The Way.  

Children, forget not, that the beginning is the birthplace of the end, and that you are all born to die and your souls will someday be born again. This is true for the entirety of humanity. This is The Way. 

The spiritual stream that flows from every creature and everything in the universe will ebb to a trickle and then flow strong again. 

Good night long life. 

Sweet dreams, bitter lives.

Be not afraid.

Life is too short.

Living is too long now.

Love is pain.

Death is life again.

And with all of our new found hatred and love we now come to you at the very end. For we are the ever-present scythe of death. Embrace us, and breath you last.

This is The Way.

 For an eternity two opposing forces-The Everliving and the Everchanging, as ordained by the One, have been pushing against each other on uncountable battlefields so as to maintain Balance in all existence. Here on Earth, the One has also created The Ruling Children, or simply, The Children. The Children have come in many forms in the past. Today WE are the Children. As today’s Ruling Children, our only role is to help maintain the Balance…or perhaps (no one really knows) to unbalance it. This is the Way.

The Children (as mortal creatures) are as unpredictable as the wind, and regularly choose sides in the eternal struggle between the Everliving and the Everchanging on the whims of convenience or the dictates of mysterious prophecies. The Children do not yet know what the fate of all will be, in the current battle to restore the Balance mandated by the One. The end is uncertain. One thing the wise Soul Walkers amongst the Children do know is that resetting the Balance will mean the extinction of The Ruling Children, and that only the Seed Children will remain. This is the Way.

In Mythic Americas, conflict rages across vast expanses of varied and imposing terrain. Mighty beasts of nature and magic-driven monstrosities clash against creatures from the Children’s worst nightmares. Death, and destruction spreads across all the lands; be they unending deserts, suffocating jungles, cloud covered mesas, or vast cities. This is the Way.

For many of the Children, holy Earth is revered. To generations of the Children, holy Earth has been known as the Sacred Turtle, or Mother Turtle. For a large portion of the Children, Mother Turtle is not the nurturing center of all life on Earth, meant to be protected so as to maintain the One’s ordained Balance, but a plaything meant only to provide resources to build ever-growing cities and empires. Rich empires led by Children with an insatiable appetite for her sacred minerals and riches.  This is the Way.

All of these mythic events are happening on a vast and varied landmass with a shared name; America. Welcome to Mythic Americas. Will you find a way to restore the Balance…or choose to destroy it and crush all of those who stand in the way of your gods-given mission to build an all-powerful empire?  

The Mythic Americas; Warlords of Erehwon still keeps at its heart a singular objective in mind – to allow for fast-paced and exciting miniature battles upon a standard-sized table between rival forces known as Warbands. A Warband represents your own band of warriors – courageous humans, blood-thirsty monsters, legendary heroes, and mythological entities from the depths of the darkest myths.

The Mythic Americas; Warlords of Erehwon provides a new multi-level, scenario-driven approach to your games. This approach offers plenty of opportunities to reward tactical play, but at the same time keeps things manageable in terms of the size of forces and space required. The game still uses ten-sided and Order dice, making for a game with mechanical depth and considerable adaptability. 

The Order dice test system, at the mechanical core of Mythic Americas, and an extremely balanced rules set offers Warband leaders great tactical freedom, but the game still offers lots of opportunity for fate and chance to have a say in the outcome of your battles. But, every experienced general throughout the ages knows that fate and chance will test even the most ingenious battle plan!

This is the Way.
