First, there is BRAHMA, the SELF-AWARE IMMENSITY, from whose thought-substance are created all known and unknown things.
In this vast, infinite expanse of awareness, one single day lasts four billion, three hundred and twenty million years...
...or one Great Day, in which the four ages of the Earth repeat like the cycle of seasons.
In this ebb and flow of Cosmic Karma lies the web of all existence.
In the primordial perfect Spring Morning of the GOLDEN AGE, perfect men and women live for thousands of years in an earthly paradise without sorrow, evil, sickness or fear.
Yet, for all their majesty and understanding, nothing could protect the Immaculate Ones from Time.
And so, in the SECOND AGE of SILVER, evil comes to the Earth, in the form of greed.
Glorious paragons like rama come to contend with the encroaching powers of Darkness and ignorance.
WAR is born.
And with war came the SUPERWARRIORS, a new race of ultimate men and women...
...sent to stem civilization's decline at the end of the Second Age.
Perfectly constructed, they almost resemble the Immaculate Ones of the preceding Age.
But the Great Autumn Afternoon of the Third Age began and these Superwarriors become prey to a new misery.
Disease
Imperfection
Decay
Prophecy says this Third Age of ours will end soon, in its turn, on an epic battlefield, upon the crack of the Ages...
When we of the Great Autumn Afternoon depart, the terrible FOURTH AGE of Winter Night begins. The Black Age of Iron.
Wealth is law here.
Dollars and Cents, the new Gods.
Here survival is the new disciple.
Loneliness is the new faith.
Everything is for sale...
Insanity is instinct.
To be born into this Black Age is to suffer constant terror. A time of interminable war.
And at its end, evil will engulf the Earth.
Life will be extinguished.
At last, as the world shudders and dies, RUDRA will come in the form of Seven Suns to obliterate creation.
Plunging everything toward the heat death of absolute zero.
