Below is paraphrased from the original works of Darthon SongWeaver...
Drawn to the cheerful fires seen through the windows
of this massive keep you approach, hoping for some refuge from this dark and
desolate night. You are greeted at the entrance by Alexander Montahon, Lord Sovereign of Union...
"So you have entered our Domain! Welcome!
Whether ye be a member, a newcomer or just a weary traveler please feel free
to sit awhile by our fire, have a drink with us and listen to our tales of
adventure!" You enter the stronghold and are motioned to a table about
which sit several others of diverse classes. Behind them on the wall hangs
a shield, bearing marks of battles you may never know.
Monty continues what seems to have been a long recourse, recanting a tale long past to those gathered before him,
"Our war was long and hard, with many of our members lost or choosing to join the ranks of the gods, forgoing all they knew and loved to continue
the fray as best as they could. The conflict remains and must be relived
again by new combatants... time here is a curious, continuous circle
where new beings replace those who came before and must themselves find the
answers to the many puzzles that is Plateusa. Old gods are discovered, new
ones created and a delicate balance has been maintained...so far. Let me quote the tale of our last Lord, that of Darthon, founder of our Union, shortly before his untimely end...
"I, Darthon, was given the chance to become the God
of Music but refused, wanting to live a mortal life with my precious wife
Sara. Alas, she was killed shortly after this poor choice of fates. I still
seek peace with the gods but must say I hold much against them, particularly
Drothkar, the God of Evil, whose minions destroyed my beloved mate."
Darthon then stared a long moment at the fire. "But this is
all past. I have grown old and weary of the fray. If you will, you might
go to relive the battles I most often won but the greatest too terribly failed.
The rest is best left up to you."
Heard by no mortals, a joyous anthem resounded throughout
the heavens that night...for there they knew what was yet to transpire...
"The Lord of Song has touched my soul, his song melodic makes me whole.
This man of music sings to me his words of wisdom set me free. So let us
sing our words are free, together, such sweet harmony." by the
Goddess Sara

Union is a group of gamers interested in several
fields...RPG, CCG, LARPG, on-line, computer, and others. The
Nation promotes play on all levels, offers opportunities to create and
participate in conventions, tournaments and local events; publishes newsletters
and other publications; and, for those interested, provides a means of sharing
their skills as game masters, writers, artists and programmers to name a
few.
Union (though not yet so named), from its humble beginnings
of but a few players who wanted to visit a new world of epic battles, has
grown to encompass a 30+ module campaign (still roughs on paper), two more
in the works, a computer game and live action role play. I myself have been
creating Plateusa for over 20 years (and as such give my age away!). Membership is nationwide and ever increasing.
Union was established in March 1993 in Spartanburg, SC
(or so it was said in this strange realm!) but has existed in one form or
another for much longer. The central theme of our Nation has been the protection
of Plateusa, the last bastion of good on our world of Pleanthkor.
"If you await the passage of each coming day, there you are and there
you'll stay,
Give your best in all you do,
And see what you've wrought when each day's through."
from the music of Darthon Songweaver
