The Fractured Realm

Many eons ago, the universe was contained within one world by the great goddess. But when the goddess' power became too great, a powerful evil was born and fought the goddess for power of the realm. The consequence of their battle caused a great calamity that split the realm into a world that was on the verge of being completely torn apart. Only but for the goddess reserving the rest of her power to holding the world together into three parts: the Core where magic was plentiful and the goddess was most closely connected to the people, the Mantle where the goddess' power was still present but was distant from the people, and the Crust where magic was completely gone and the populace lived without magic. The goddess to this day waits for enough powerful individuals who will help defeat the ultimate darkness and reunite the worlds under her protection.
