Infinity

The original world, The Old World, suffered from a cataclysmic event known as The Calamity. Said event is directly tied to a character that makes an appearance in multiple factions and realities: Aleta.   Aleta is an immortal being that doesn't age and, if killed, regenerates.   After The Calamity, the world has been split into multiple realities (a potentially infinite amount), with each of them being home to one or more of the game's factions:   Talich is home of the Flame Dawn and Genesis Industries. Reish is home of the Descendants of the Dragon, the Exiles and the Cult of Verore. The Old World is home of the Warpath. Avarrach is home of the Sleepers of Avarrach. In addition to the main dimensions, there are two more planes, Solace and Torment. Solace and Torment can be considered to be metaphysically above and below the infinite realities created by The Calamity and are home to immortal beings that subsist off of human emotions.   These alternate realities separated by the Calamity are suddenly brought together by an otherworldly event; causing unstable rifts converging unto the old world to appear in Talich, Reish and Avarrach. There is no telling however, how many more realities these rifts will open up to, or have already connected...
