Depending on which legends you believe, people didn’t always live in the mountains. They say that once the clouds were not so thick and ubiquitous, that the sun could actually reach down to the now-ravaged surface.

The dwarves claim that it was they who forced the Motori from these lands. The dwarves stole […]

There are many worlds, each subtly unique, and yet perplexingly similar. These worlds exist in the Astral sea, and one might travel between them along Astral rivers.
The greatest of the Astral rivers is called Styx, and it is unique in that it touches each and every one of those worlds. Infinite in length, none have […]

The world of Dominus is like many worlds in that it is ever-plagued by strife and warfare. What sets Dominus apart is the nature of the warfare engaged thereupon. It is not the people of Dominus who battle each other; they are but unwilling victims and conscripts. Rather, Dominus has become the latest battleground in […]

Planes
Each day, the world of Corm travels through four distinct planes of existence known as Sunhome, Twilight, Evernight and Dawngate. Perhaps not entirely distinct, the four planes each blend together so that the crossing from one to the other is a matter of gradual change, not a sudden shift in scenery.
