The immortal crew of the unique spaceship, Olympus, is faced with two hundred and fifty years of travel before they reach their intended destination of the Oberlin star system. Rather than sleep the centuries away, they have decided to be reincarnated into a sword-and-sorcery world of their own creation: a world filed with adventures, dangers, and magical creatures. For the six duplicated, human personalities, this new world offers the opportunity to fulfill the dreams of their previous mortal lives and to explore the 'paths not taken'. For the two sentient, AI personalities, it offers their first opportunity to truly experience what life has to offer. Whatever role they select-trader or magician, healer or warrior, teacher or craftsman-the Mother and the Fates gradually draw them back together over the course of their new lives in the Intermountain Valley.
