The second land in the world of Omegus

Post by Shadowfireomega »

Here is the background on the new world I have created. Just to note, all campaign 'realities' have merged, just to be clear.

10,000 years ago there was an event. This event was called the merging. In one or more realities, a mage of immense power unknowingly split the veil of realities while attempting to create a devastatingly powerful spell. When the veil ripped, many realities merged together, if not all. This resulted in massive catastrophe, apocalyptic destruction reigned for 5 years, destroying many worlds and civilizations. After the cataclysmic events came to an end leaving all in a world 50 times larger then their original, war began. All civilizations that still existed were pulled into the conflict, for each blamed the other for causing it, and so it was that elf fought elf, human fought human, and so on. the war waged on for countless centuries, before a peace armistice was signed. This armistice stated that each 'world' would be forbidden to enter any of the others realms without consent. At first this led to great tension, as borders were heavily guarded, and minor skirmishes were common in neutral territories. After a few thousand years, alliances formed, leading to innovation of many magical and mundane wonders. Tensions are still there between many of the factions, however, and wars still wage occasionally. The last war ended some 150 years past, to a time where humans feel is long past, but as always such a time is fresh in the longer lived races memory.

Four strangers, all delivered a letter, containing a bit of secret personal information, a promise for a reward, and a location.

Four strangers, all meet in a tavern, waiting for a mysterious benefactor.

Under ground, below town, a meeting occurs.

"Who you are I know, secrets from your past I possess, a secret I need kept I will add."

"Besieged has this town been, for long since before I was mayor."

"A Dragon, black as night, cunning as a fox, 10 people, 5 men, 5 women he asks, as well as 160,000 in gold a month."

"If not we pay, Dur'gustan melts, forever gone, forever gone."

The strangers accept, to swamps of saltwater and mud, to fight the dragon.

Through the mud and water the strangers tread, deeper and deeper into the dread.

Fight they do the many headed beast, as well as avoid becoming the crocks feast.

Sinking feelings were never had, as in the fast sand never did they land.

A strange morphic fellow they did meet, a phasm he was, advertisement his job.

A set of keys the strangers recieved, open a magic store anywhere with a turn.

Into the cave of the dragon they went, fighting off his bastard kids.

Floor upon floor they cleared, acid they never once did fear.

A diary read they did, filled the pages were with sickness and dread.

A trap wrongly sprung, a water filled room.

Escape was not fast, the water did last.

An elf tied up, now set free, agreed to help lie the dragon to rest.

The strangers now five, march to face the dragon.

Upon arrival a puppeteer awaits, lecturing the dragon about a date not kept.

Uncle he was to one of the strangers, plucked from this world he then was.

The strangers now back to four, now fight the dragon who was to kill them naught.

The battle ensued the strangers won, flee the dragon back into the lake.

Outside he waited until the strangers exit, and got the jump on the unsuspecting.

His children, great white sharks, fly and attack.

When father falls they feast on his back.

When all is said and done one stranger does raise, the dragon to help his new allies.

Back to town the strangers went, to fine not peace but riots rampant.

Cultists of the 5 arrived and shouted, now the town in shambles and mayor dead.

Strangers find the gaurd captain, who allows them to question a captive.

One stranger did cast, the cultist then spoke.

I am a sacrifice, the cleaners will come.

The clock hits noon, he then explodes.

Elementals of blood, the town now overflows.

Blood and gore the heros are covered, to rescue townsfolk they aspire.

The blood is once again dead, the town deserted.

To a holy man they do talk, and learn the mayor was not to whom they spoke.

The mystery now deepens, into the night.

The dreams now come, will the strangers be allright?
