Nexus Reborn: Rise of the Fallen

Created by

The world of Nexus. The culmination of creatures, materials, and technology from all Planes of Existence, brought together by the event known as the Convergence. Driven by an unknown source, the Convergence has forced nearly all the Planes to slowly collide and collapse into the Prime Material. The aftermath resulting in pieces of these Planes becoming scattered all across Nexus. Some of these regions maintain a strong essence of their original natures, while other regions have faded away leaving only remnants of their original wonder. In either case, these regions have reshaped and warped Nexus permanently in both minor and major ways.   Throughout the last centuries of the current era, humanity has fought to maintain its place in this new and chaotic world, constantly being forced to face against new and evolving threats. For some creatures, change and adaptations come easily, while others hold steadfast to their fundamentals, each of which offering various success for survivability. Over time, many of the creatures of the Prime Material and those forced here from other Planes have learned to coexist with one another. . . mostly. Where the union of understanding can be found, great cities have risen, filled with a menagerie of races and cultures, who's various knowledges and unique perspectives form the strong foundation of Kingdoms. While where differences are too vast to overcome, isolated territories are formed, usually inhabited by one to a few races whos' similar values and ideals are what their Kingdoms are built upon. Finally where the challenges of differences collide, through war, or insurrections, ruined Kingdoms are what remain.   Beyond the challenges presented by clashing cultures and ideals, the threats of Nexus spread even wider. Wild energies left behind by the collapse of the Planes race across Nexus, bursting with supernatural effects that can quickly alter the area they influence. Additionally, creatures from all corners of the Planes wonder the land, creating mischief, chaos, or even destruction wherever they go. Between the Beasts of the Prime Material, Primordials of the Elementals, Fey Lords and Shadow Lords of the Mirror Realms, and Monstrosities from every realm in between, some threat always seems to fill the void left by any previous threat. However, regardless of a creatures views or ideals of what is threatening and what is simply misunderstood, a vast consciences is shared by all, over a common enemy known as Fiends. These abominations of evil and destruction originate from the darkest regions of the Planes and share the goal of wiping out all life from Nexus without bias.   Between grand Kingdoms, epic landscapes, dangerous creatures, and the wild forces created by the Convergence, the world of Nexus is an exciting place that always seems to be changing. While some people choose to grab-hold of a small part of Nexus and create a steady and uneventful life around the constant changes happening around them, others are filled with the tenacity for adventure, and seek to explore the unknown, interact with the unusual, and face off against the unsettling dangers that stand in-between them and the wonders of the world.   How will you live out your lives? The choice is up to you.
