Chimera D10

Scene

The Laws of Chimera D10

  1. Everyone is born with a Void inside them; the size of the void determines ones ability to use magic and the longevity of the person. Using magic improperly can cause the Corruption of the person, ending with the person slowly turning into a monster.
  2. The Moon is the source of magic. The moon is fractured and constantly regrowing, sending moonstone meteorite to the ground which is absorbed by the world around it. Being near this crystal fills the void in people's soul with magic
  3. Tara is at the center of the cosmos--one of ultimate balance, with several surrounding planes that might one day take its place.

Cosmology

Two primordials, Saga and Lung, created a world based on their mutual love of one another, but as Saga went into an eternal sleep, she left her grieving Lung behind and bits of her fragmented psyche. These became Eidolons, each of which sought to support, comfort, and befriend Lung in their own way. They each created their own worlds as a way to cheer him up, but a few of the Eidolons grew jealous of Lung's devotion to Saga and sought to destroy her. Lung summoned his powers to entrap Saga deep within a silver sphere, creating a world to hide from Saga's jealous shadows.   This was the cataclysm, and it created a center point in the universe where Lung hid Saga away. All the worlds of the Eidolon's began to collapse as a result, being forced together under this new law. Some of the Eidolons jumped between the blast and their own world, dying in the process but sparing their creations.   These "creations" were each a race that awoke on a new world at the center of the universe. All, however, seek now to claim and influence Tara as their realm. Lung stands against them.

Principal Geography & Features

Tara is a vast continent, largely unexplored minus a few nodes of civilization, split by a mountainous isthmus that divides a east and west side.

Initial Active Setting

Fairly large to impart the inter-connectivity of the spaces and promote exploration. But it will be limited to safe nodes initially to set the scene and then show contrast by allowing exploration of uncivilized areas.
