Tapestry of the World
Tapestry of the World
Major Ursa
It has been nearly 2000 years since the High Mages of Science betrayed the world. Their thirst for power knew no bounds as their spells attempted to recreate the forces of life itself. Their arrogance tore at the fabric of our world. Few tales have survived of the heroes that fought to save our world from those who wished to make themselves gods. But there were heroes and their sacrifices were many. None living can say if the High Mages were actually defeated or they were destroyed by the evil of their magic. Our world was reborn in the conflict bringing new races, magic, and powerful new evils. In a world where survival is a constant struggle, there is great need for those who can walk the path of heroism. Some are born on the path, predestined and trained from youth to assume their place as the protectors of many. Others are forged by chance and circumstance. A few step onto the path because they have nowhere else to go. These are the tales of a handful of those who chose to fight for what is right and good.

Major Ursa's love of fantasy and science fiction began as a child lost in the worlds created by Andre Norton. Her characters were true heroes. They walked the paths of honor even when it came at a price. That lesson became a part of Ursa's own life.Major Ursa made his first forays into fantasy gaming in 1980. Soon he was creating worlds and adventures to entertain friends and family. The games became stories to entertain his children and grandchildren. Somewhere along the way, entertainment turned into teaching about honor and sacrifice and ways to persevere when things were hard. Now the old bear is putting his favorite tales in print. The world needs heroes, even fictional ones, that are willing to put the needs of others before their own desires.
