Mizora is an all-female society that is ruled by a council of wise women. The Mizorans are highly technologically advanced and have a deep understanding of science and mathematics. They are also eugenically advanced, with a focus on producing healthy and intelligent children.

However, Vera's arrival in Mizora also coincides with the discovery of a mysterious chamber beneath the city. The chamber contains a powerful energy source that could be used for good or for evil. Vera must decide whether to help the Mizorans harness this energy for peace or to keep it hidden from the outside world.
