Its premise includes the assumption that : Ascension did not happen, and out of that it has spawned a complex and involved storyline that included the n invasion of Britannia. Legacy doesn’t exactly form the backstory for the project entitled , although there is a relation there as both projects were founded, in part, by Avatus Kingsman (although where he has gone to, none now know).

FYI, last I saw on their board (while it was still up), the leader had posted a message suspending the whole thing until further notice because there was a lack of interest from others skilled enough to work on it & lack of response from too many on the team. After that, I noticed the board was gone but the main project page remained — for at least the past several months, all that has been there is the current “brb, restructuring” message.

Sigh. Hope they come back sometime, I had a lot of fun on the original Legacy shard back in early ‘01.
