Scene
The Laws of Niya-Yur
All the rules of physics work exactly as expected. There is magic it is not, as some people speculate advanced nano-technology as a super-science sci-fi. The primary difference between magic and physics is the ability to affect change at a distance. No matter how advanced mundane technology artifacts require some kind of connection between the source and affect points is required. But, magic, which is measurable, allows some to do miraculous things. Magic is available from lines of force that crisscross the world. There are different types of mana and depending on which one the mage uses the effects will be slightly different.
Cosmology
The great races of two universes, one of magic, one of high-technology created this universe from the ashes of an incredible natural disaster. In the creation, they saved as many of the original races and cultures as they could. It is worth noting that Niya-Yur is only one world in thousands of inhabited worlds from the original universe. It is the capital but has been isolated from the rest of the worlds for about 5,000 years.
Principal Geography & Features
There are massive structures in some locations which are remnants of the old ones. These are not understood and sometimes they are very deadly. Otherwise, the world consists of one large continent split in the middle by a high desert of such intense heat and magics no one can survive. The only way from north to south halves of the continent is via ship.
Initial Active Setting
The entire content is there to play in. It would be best for RPG groups to pick an area and operate from there.
