Setting Information
In the beginning there were Four Muses – eternal beings that had the ability to create substance from nothing. Working together the Muses created the universe and – primarily – Harmundia. Seeking perfection they created many life-forms until they finally create a new Eternal - the Masque. -Agone Core Rulebook
Agone is set several millennia after the Masque was created, the Muses little more than a vague memory to most, and Harmundia is split into several kingdoms. The world and all of its creatures were created by the four Muses. The setting and theme for the game and it's world is very Shakespearean in tone. The Muses have long ago split into various kinds of phenomena in order to hide from the Masque. A fifth Muse, one created by the first four now tries to gain control of the world and everyone in it. All manner of humans and non-humans walk the streets.
