“I’m pretty pissed-off, man!”

In the beginning the Creator brought forth the shining jewels of the universe and all their secrets. One such jewel was the world that would be known as Septerra, its secret hidden within its core. Seven distinct layers of continents called world shells orbit the planet each connected to the other by a giant bio-organic spine. At the center of all lies the core, an immense bio-computer regulating the movements of the shells.
