In 60486BE, the world populated by humans had reached the peak of its technological advancements. Having transcended experiments on human kind and beast and building its massive cities. They warred and competed to snuff out their competition and claim rule over the lands. Cities fell as quickly as new ones were born, and the surface of the planet was marred with the ruins of it’s past. One country rising above the rest with the efforts of its capital, Thies.

The scientist in Thies, the new capital of advancement, both moral and immoral had started developing and working with other dimensional gates. Not satisfied with merely dominating their own world. For the longest time, they knew of both the existence and presence of other-dimensional beings, Dragons, as many knew from myth, and strange creatures glimpsed in the nightmares of the scientists, but they couldn’t crack the secret to these worlds, that is until they had a breakthrough.


A scientist by the code name of -----[​Redacted], had crafted a small gate, showing a hint of the worlds beyond, but these worlds were dark, destroyed and ravaged by their inhabitants. He’d shut down the experiments, vehemently defending that larger gates could let in all manner of monstrosities to the world. His superiors found it merely a means to power and progressed the experiments. In a year the powers had constructed a massive gate under the city of Thies, activating and testing it frequently, all tests ending in curious anomalies around the city, disappearances of its citizens and unexplained destruction. The powers continued their experiments despite the warnings, and at the end of the year, Thies and the world had changed.

What remained of the once powerful capital was a crater, a rift in time spewing dark creatures from its depths, and many more anomalous portals cropping up on every continent. Some fed in new peoples, others dark horrors. Magic also surfaced upon cracking open the gates to the Highlands, a place known to be the homeland of elves. This magic unbalanced the world, feeding the dark creatures, and leading to the devastation of many settlements, unprepared to handle the monsters from beyond.


Small bands of people still managed to survive, some by teaming with the magical beings from the other side, and others remaining secluded, and after 100 years of their struggles, the Dragons made themselves known. These massive beings sought to right the destruction of the world, one of many they had observed over eons. However, their brother, Halladrin, sought to work against them to continue his pursuits of corrupting the magical races, and any new beings born into the world. His brethren wouldn’t stand for his attempts, and in 180Ae, they warred to seal him in the mortal human realm, hoping to cap off his influence and corruption, and prevent the world from becoming another dark dimension. They did so with success, but at the cost of Mirelth, the spirit dragon.


The world seemed to stabilize considerably with the aid of the dragons, the humans naming them Greater Dragons and beginning to worship them aside their own gods. Cities grew and populations mingled with races of all manner and soon the dragons melded a land for themselves on the plane, remaining.


The remnants of Thies had moved to the small state of Caliophe, at the southern edge of the spine mountains, claiming the small state as the new capital. The state holding many of the secrets of the once great Thies, and worked with the countries of Breganahm, and Luphioti to find ways to protect the descendants of the survivors of the event, and to keep their world. Meanwhile their rivals, and leaders of other nations wished their demise as the world was only just recovering and they banished the use of technology for fear of another event. Technology had caused the suffering, technology had led to the destruction of families and population, and nearly the extinction of humankind, instead they adopted simpler lives across the seas.


In 200AE, ambassadors of Caliope and Thies sent a group of people to create a settlement on a series of islands crafted by the dragons as their sanctuary. The town came to be named Crow’s Point, and in 204AE it was open to immigrants seeking work. Some came via ships, but many more found themselves transported there via strange crystals. These crystals known to be connected to the distortions and gates of the past, a reminder of the horrors. A test to see if people could survive the dangers of the world, and perhaps find a way to remedy the past."
