Where centuries-old forests rose, now magical locomotives crawl with a clang and roar. Lands on which no one has ever set foot are plowed and bloom with previously unseen plants. Mighty warships ply the deadly oceans, and the kraken has become a common snack for beer. The elves sit at the same table next to the gnomes, and a human priest watches this with a feeling of satisfaction. Riders on dragons rush through the city streets every now and then, but no one, not even the playing boys, pays attention to them. Alexander is again on the throne of vampires, only the vampires themselves are already different, and the world around has changed.
