Two races co-exist on the planet Padir: The Thir, believed to be living gods and the Padira who serve and worship them. This situation is one that has lasted for well over 35,000 years until the day that one man, Oscal The Elder stands up and declares that the Thir are indeed not Gods and therefore their rule of the planet and its people is based solely on a lie and is hence made null and void. A tense situation made all the more so as the newly-appointed leader of the Thiran High Council is Zhan. Who, having reluctantly inherited the position from her recently deceased father, finds she must now sit in judgment of Oscal.
