History[]

NeS 1888[]

Main article: NeS 1888

The very beginning of NeS 1888 opens with an unnamed old man, however the man was supposed to be Arkng Thand before the Never-ending Story began. He was in Deitopos, his home in the Dreamstate, and used NeS Tarot to predict the upcoming Characters for NeS 1888. He believed that NeS 1888 may be the beginning of the 'never-ending' story, unknowing that wouldn't begin until 1999. Using the tarot cards he turned each over to reveal a character from the Story. The Moderator (Erro Simon), The Guide (Mustang Aurelius Ford), The PowerPlayer (Highemperor), The Tovarish (T13TE), The Mageling (Matthias the Cold), The Innocent (Jim7), The Lost (TwistedSpasm), The Custodian (Roberto the Janitor), The Knight (Sir Lee Tan Chylde), The Monster (Galvenstein) , The Beast (TheBadger), The Immortal (Ares). These Characters would later make up the League of Heroes. He summoned Bernard the First, the ancestral pidgeon to Bernard the Pidgeon, and asked that the bird seek out and watch the Character that would be The Moderator. After chiding the pidgeon for pooping on people, the scholar relented and allowed the bird to occasionally poop on The Moderator.[MT Ref 1]
