The term "diaspora", from the Greek word διασπείρω (diaspeiró), meaning "to scatter abroad", by definition refers to the movement, migration, or scattering of a people away from an established or ancestral homeland. However, when it comes to the history of the Jews, this term transcends the primary, surface-level meaning and becomes a concept; the culmination of the movement, migration, and scattering of the children of Israel didn't conclude with assimilation into the cultures in which they found themselves. They transformed the bane of exile into successful establishments of prominent and distinct communities, where they not only maintained their set-apart identity as Jews adhering to the culture and traditions of their fathers, but in many cases ascended from settlers to sovereignty. Nowhere is this more evident than in the sub-Saharan region of West Africa, labeled "Negroland" or "Nigritia" by European cartographers, but better known as "Soudan", for within the very name Soudan is the name "Yuda", the people of the preeminent Israelite tribe who had their beginnings in a land over 4,000 miles away on the opposite side of the continent, the Holy Land of Judea. The Diaspora of the children of Israel from Homeland to Ham's land is a series of enlightening journeys of intrigue and fascination that has been consistently glossed over scholastically, whether by ignorance or intention.

In Fall, Adam and Eve lived in harmony with the animals in the Garden of Eden, enjoying Abba Father's rich blessings. Then their encounter with Nahash, the deceiving serpent, left them banished and forbidden to ever return, plunging the world into sin. In Fallen, their children, Cain, Azura, and Abel, sought to continue to hear and to follow Abba Father's voice, sometimes with success but sometimes with tragic results, but leaving a heritage of enmity between the future branches of the burgeoning human race instead: the lines of Cain and of Seth, the husband of Azura. Now, in Flood, the world that has been created with such promise and hope in Eden is utterly corrupt and evil. And now even the Eneph, the Fallen Ones, have arisen and walk the Earth, abominations of the Creation and products of the corruption of both humanity and fallen angels. Abba Father, filled with pain, is determined to destroy the world he has created and the swiftly growing humanity that spreads its sinful taint all over its surface. Only a small remnant, the last of the line of Seth, has a hope of survival. The family of Noah, dwelling in the Valley of Seth, is facing the quickly mounting hostility of Lamech, powerful Cainite king of Kalneh, the Great City, and of all the plain. Noah has been moved by Abba Father to leave their old, protected home in the valley and now, against rapidly shrinking odds and pursued by enemies scenting Seth's final defeat, he must trust in Abba Father as he has never done before to deliver him and his family from the Flood.
