Kannagara.
It's your home, before you came to live there. It's your world, as what was and what might yet be. It's a world beyond worlds, a creation lovingly crafted by and carefully cradled in the gods' own hands. In the realm of the gods, beyond our usual sense of time and place, and even life itself, Kannagara stands and awaits its new residents.
It might look familiar to some, this place. For the very long-lived, especially. Kannagara exists as the world before war took place. This is the world before it knew violence, before men chose to disrespect nature and humanity in the worst of ways.
The gods are quite displeased.
That's why you're here. While the gods are eternal, their patience is not. While the soul is eternal, mortality is not. Knowledge can be provided, but true understanding must be reached for such wisdom to be passed on.
The gods have not taken you from your home, as perhaps you might first suspect. Rather, they have taken an imprint of your soul, and recreated you to live in this world. In this world, you will learn about nature, and your relationship to it. You will learn about what it means to truly be human, and your relationship to each other and humanity itself. You will learn about the soul and how it binds all people and things together, through thoughts, through feelings, through emotional bonds, through shared experiences, and perhaps most importantly, through dreams.
For only in dreams can a soul express itself most clearly and directly.
Once you all come to understand the error of your ways and the harm you cause humanity and the world as a whole, once you come to understand the grievous tragedy of your perversion of human nature, and by extension, of life itself, once you learn to live at one and in harmony with both nature and your fellow brethren -- if you all come to understand that as a whole...
Then and only then may you return to your rightful home, to spread this enlightenment and heal the wounds you and your ancestors have inflicted.
As long as people don't truly understand each other, there can never be true peace. Mere men can never understand each other -- but people, bound by their common humanity, may someday achieve true understanding and enlightenment. Only through this wisdom will they find true and everlasting peace, with themselves, each other, and nature itself.
Can you accept the will of the gods into your life, and follow their path as you were meant to?
