Renewed Gaia

No one knew where it came from, some say it was from the United States, others say Russia, and a few are saying Germany or even Saudi Arabia, but one thing is for certain, Humanity suffered after the Wave. On a day like any other, in Modern Earth, a massive, blue wave of pure energy spread across the globe, silencing millions of lives. Ninety percent of humanity vanished in that wave, turning into a fine, blue powder that disappeared into the very air around the survivors.   Panic hit Humanity hard, and the Riders of War, Famine and Pestilence delivered eight percent more of humanity into the arms of the ever waiting Death. The survivors that remained banded together against the encroaching nights as monsters were birthed from the earth. Beasts of legend and terrifying imagination took residence in the towns and cities of Humanity, forcing the remaining humans out into the wilds. Though as they built their own fortifications and homes amongst an uncertain future, Humanity began to find a hold, slowing their loses once and once more rising. That was five years after the Wave.   On July 7th, in the sixth year after the Wave, A dense fog began to cover the entire world. Beyond their walls and boundaries, humanity could hear the world around them shifting. The air cleared, the toxins of thousands of years was now gone, and tasted crisp and pure. The water purified, the gloss of oil and chemicals disappeared. The forests returned, spreading across the once powerful cities, splitting concrete and reclaiming the land once more. The very earth itself began to be reborn as well, veins of ores both common and never before seen grew within the soil and rock.   Out of the mists came one more thing. Races of fantasy, legend and lore stepped forth, their cities seemingly transplanted by some mysterious force. High Elves claimed authority over the United Kingdom, giving rise to the rule of the Fae. Ships bearing the flag of Jack Frost, king of the Dark Elves in the North Pole, explore the northern seas. Dwarves emerged from their holds, claiming the technology of a lost age and the ores deep beneath the earth. A host of other races have appeared, building and attempting to survive in a world they’re not from.   In this new age, twenty years after the Wave, magic has taken hold, as a gift and a curse from some unseen creator. Within this new age, filled with natural and magical wonders, adventurers scour the cities and natural dungeons that have formed, fighting back against the darkness that crawls within the hearts of sentient beings and writhing monsters. The only thing keeping them alive are their wits, imagination, and possibly the strong steel in their hand. How will your adventure unfold?
