Introduction

Welcome to a multiverse of mystery, where might and magic rule. It's a time of darkness and chaos. It's an age of heroes.

The World

  The world is a floating celestial body of indeterminate size and is the center of all life in the Prime. Eons ago, primordials cooked its core in the crucibles of creation itself. It was an orb of pure chaos—a reflection of its creators. Now, it's filled with life—a reflection of the divinities that fought off the primordials.     The world is massive. No one has circumnavigated or mapped the entire world. This is due in part to the moving Everstorm, obscuring what lies beyond it.   The age of the world is unknown. Scholara argue in ivory towers about the age of the world. "10,000 years ago the divinities created the living ancestries!" "False on every account. It was at least 50,000 years, if not half a million."   The world is varied. Regions of the world vary greatly in their geography, ancestries present, and existing conflicts. This results in fanastic stories of high fantasy in some parts of the world to dark fantasy or sword and sorcery in others.   Universal truths are rarely known. Some settings beyond the Everstorm are entirely removed with gods, origins, and entire cosmologies unknown to the rest of the world.  

The Campaign: A Candle in the Dark

  A candle may cast shadows but there is only darkness without it.   Our next campaign takes us to the Xanthomir Dominion...     The War of the Elder Flame is over. But the covenant that ended it sends the region into darkness. Knowledge and magic are under attack—forbidden for all but a few. The scales tip towards a rekindled war and the end of an empire.  
Truths
  The Arcane Inquisition prohibits arcane and primal magic—on pain of death.   Properly trained magi are commanded to report the Arcanum.   Divine magic is allowed by priests of the Great Church.   The Pantauran have rejected the Covenant of Scarlet and Bone and are in open rebellion.   Emperor Xantheron and his progeny are immortal.   Mount Chaton is erupting.
