"Kuxortal has always been," Forerunner begins. This ancient port
was established in the time of antiquity and has built and rebuilt
itself on the ruins of former civilizations. Kuxortal is inhabited
by a lowly race of Burrowers, who tunnel and excavate beneath the
city's towers and sometimes discover artefacts from the past. Simsa
is a Burrower who has spent her entire life in the service of an
older, crippled mentor, Ferwar, who had reputedly rescued Simsa
from a trash heap when she was an infant. Simsa, with her
blue-black skin and platinum hair, clearly comes from different
stock than the other Burrowers, but Ferwar never revealed her
origin. When scavengers attempt to loot the treasures that Ferwar
had left behind, it becomes clear that Simsa must flee. Especially
when they discover that the scavengers consider Simsa one of the
treasures that they have come to steal...
