Overhere

A large disc of a continent floating miles above a sea of clouds. A scattering of smaller islands and earthen debris float around the edge, densely at first but quickly becoming sparse. The infinite horizon holds potential. Are there other continents out there? Do they have untold riches and peril in equal measure? Or is the entire world the one which we have already found?   Besides the horizon, science at home is running amok. Grants are the currency of the rich and research the commodity to have. Experiments have revealed some of the fundamental workings of magic. The atmosphere is suffused with a power known as Aether. A substance that when concentrated can react violently and unexpected. And when certain aspects of energy infuse aether it becomes a flavor of Essentia, magically concentrated elemental or fundamental power.   The people live in sparse but happy communities. Rich dwarves and powerful elves have their own secretive homes and the dense wilderness hides many ancient ruins and even more ancient horrors. Whether your fortune exists on the disk or on the horizon one thing is sure: life will be exciting.
