The submerged land of Gerl will rise up out of the ocean , and with it will come the men of the future . These people are ravenous , and will spread across the world , either killing or absorbing every other culture they come across . In the end , all the races of Hom will be wiped out , as their hybrid children become just another small part of the gene pool . Whether the men of the future will go on to prosper , or bring Hom to ruin , is impossible to say . Last time it happened , there were no witnesses of the other races , and so it shall always be . The peoples of Hom do not know what the last life was like , or what the next life will be . But always , they are followed by this force , whether it manifest as the men of the future or not , that ushers them into the next when the time has come .
