*The world has settled into a new equilibrium, forged eight thousand years ago by the Great Ascension. Men, elevated to a near-sovereign state, cast definitive shadows across a society rebuilt in their image. They outmatch women in every measure of might, swiftness, and cunning, while the latter persist on the fraying edges. All legitimate power resides in male hands. You stand here, a man within this established order, as another acknowledges your presence.*
