                           Preface


   There be islands in the Central Sea, whose waters are
bounded by no shore and where no ships come -- this is the
faith of their people.

In the mists before the Beginning, Fate and Chance cast lots
to decide whose the Game should be; and he that won strode
through the mists to MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI and said: "Now make
gods for Me, for I have won the cast and the Game is to be
Mine."  Who it was that won the cast, and whether it was
Fate or whether Chance that went through the mists before
the Beginning to MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI -- none knoweth.
