DisMyria

The world exploded in a flash of light and Arcane power as the moon Dis fractured and lost it's glow. It was weeks before we learned that a great chasm had been ripped into the earth to the northwest. If that was all that had come we would have been relieved, but the news came on the lips of those who fled before the darkness that poured forth from unending tear. Creatures of unimaginable terror poured forth with the darkest demons of hell slaughtering and enslaving any living creature they found."

- from The Journal of Kirgueykan Thonitar

The world of DisMyria has begun to heal from yet another devastating disaster at the hands of the beings who inhabit its surface, with the latest event causing the breaking of the second moon Dis, which now hangs dark in the sky and fractured. Having been broken by Arcane Mages seeking power, users of the Arcane are generally not trusted to have guilds, colleges, or repositories of knowledge and/or magical items. Crimes involving magic are generally punished with extreme prejudice often with a sentence of death or dismemberment. Before sealing themselves safely away in the Outer Planes behind the Divine Gate the Deities of DisMyria also put locks on the limits of Arcane Magic within the world of mortals. The demons and monsters that poured fourth from The Great Chasm still haunt the memories of the older races and the stories of the shorter lived races like humans. More studious historians, will tell you that the last time the world was broken it gave birth to the Gods. Shall something else emerge from this latest catastrophe or shall something more sinister emerge?
