The continent of Aedrorynn, a realm beyond the perception of our world. A world that exists separate of all known reality, a pocket dimension if you would. This world was created by a race of inter-dimensional beings known as the Ac'Loriaq among themselves, but to those in the continent of Aedrorynn they are simply referred to as the gods. They carved the continent out of nothing, painted the terrain and populated the world with all the flora and fauna. Be warned however, the world, well, basically everything wants to kill you. Think Australia but on steroids, and bigger. There are a few different biomes, each with its own dangers, differences in flora and fauna, and native sentient races. Speaking of the native races, there are eight, each stay to a general area due to "divine intervention".
The ocean and coast line are generally safe from the other races. The Plains of Aedrorynn are home to the Centaurs, fast and well armed, capable of easily running down their enemies and devour the remains of their enemies. The massive jungle found in Aedrorynn, called the Jangalula, are home to a race of snake people called the Naagaraanee, experts of ambush and enjoy torturing their enemies and killing them slowly, followed by eating them in large feasts. The large desert simply referred to as the Brenenrimal is home to the Skorpyo, a race of scorpion people, who stalk the desert in the night and kill their victims in their sleep before melting the victims innards with their venom and then consuming their innards, leaving a husk of a body behind. The badlands of Aedrorynn, also known as the Sukarettorokku Badlands, are home to a race of 10 foot horned creatures, known as the Akaioni, who are known for eating their victims alive. The central area of Aedrorynn is dominated by the Legnoscuro, a large temperate forest inhabited by perhaps the safest of the races of Aedrorynn as they only attack when they are provoked, and feed the dead to the forest, the plant people known simply as the Vi. In the mountain ranges all around Aedrorynn, and travelling between them can be found a race of giants, ranging from 70 to 100 feet tall, known for their slight "elven" appearance, their solitary nature, long slumbers and massive appetite for meat from any form of life. Finally, the northern reaches lies the Jaajate, home to the Jaademoni, a race of beings made from pure ice, rumored to freeze their victims solid and only wake during the night or when ever the sun is blocked enough (as during a blizzard).
Now that we've talked the native races, let us speak of the race that is not native to Aedrorynn. That race is, well, humans. Poor humans, the favorite food of many of the living things of Aedrorynn. A question must have been risen by now, how did humans get to Aedrorynn considering the fact that Aedrorynn exists in its own pocket dimension? Well, to answer that we look to the Ac'Loriaq. The Ac'Loriaq have more than enough power to take human beings from their own reality and place them in the world of their creation. In fact, time even bends to them, as such they are able to take humans from any period of time and place them when ever they want. Why would they do this? Who knows, maybe they just do it for entertainment, maybe they have some other goal. In fact, most humans are completely unaware that the "gods" are responsible for removing them from their old life, and bringing them to this world. Humans that are brought to this world experience the same thing, they go from doing whatever they were doing to witnessing a flash of light before going unconscious and waking up on the shores of the Haefyn Peninsula with only what they had on their person at the time.
That said, over the years humans that arrived and managed to survive settled down, and so the only human settlement was created. Haefyn's Grave, named after the city's founder. During the years it grew with not only humans brought to Aedrorynn by the Ac'Loriaq, but with Aedrorynn born humans. Anyways, back to Haefyn's Grave, the city is built in a ring, with walls around each section. The city's centre is made up of a large central graveyard that is around the walled off Royal Palace, which also serves as the Royal Mausoleum. Entrances to the cities catacombs can be found at the four cardinal points of the cemetery, as well as in the Royal Mausoleum. Outside of the city are many farms, and a few smaller villages. The only thing protecting the farms and villages around Haefyn's Grave is a large, 150 foot wall made from pure earth with a single gate known as Haefyn's Gate, keeping all things out of the Haefyn Peninsula. Please note, the tech level of humans of Aedrorynn is generally mediveal, but people do arrive with higher tech, its just that they can't replicate it. However, some humans have been lucky enough through time to be able to delve into ancient ruins that dot the landscape, and claim for themselves the power of the "gods". There are only three humans alive right now that have the power of the "gods"; the Last Hero of the Ninth, Appius Servilius Minervalis; the trickster of time, Alek Spring; and the ruler of Haefyn's Grave, Queen Elect Aylin Byrne.
A new bunch of people are due to arrive soon. Will they seek a way to escape and return to their world, will they settle down in this new world, will they forge their own legend and uncover the mysteries of Aedrorynn, or will they face death.

Alek “Chrono” Spring
Roof of the Wyvern Soul Exploration Company Headquarters
Haefyn’s Grave, Haefyn Peninsula
One good thing about living in this world of death had to be that the sky was pretty much completely unpolluted by the lights of human cities. Well, one of the many good things according to one Alek Spring, the trickster of time, or just Chrono to most all humans of Aedrorynn. Why Chrono? There was two simple reasons for the name in his opinion. The first being that he just simply liked it. The second reason, he once cleared a ruin, and obtained the power of the time goddess, Xihena.
Also, as many people would ask, one good thing? Many would assume that he was out of his mind with a statement like that or just displaying a dark sense of humour, but to those who know him, they would know that he was dead serious. He would also be serious if he was to say he’d rather continue to live in Aedrorynn than return to the place he came from, even if he had no power. Here he felt more important, he felt free, and he liked it more than anything. Which is partially why he happened to have a certain reputation.
Anyways, enough about Chrono, let’s get to the story. Chrono laid in his favourite place, right on the roof of the largest of the many exploration guilds found in Haefyn’s Grave, the Wyvern Soul Exploration Company. He laid there looking up at the sky, just simply thinking. Just letting his mind wander as he almost always did. When most people worried or thought about home, he thought about what waited for him in the near future. What sort of beasts would he discover, or plants, or much dirtier thoughts were the sort of thing that crossed his mind all the time.
But tonight, something would happen that would interrupt those thoughts. It was the sort of thing that happened every few years, give or take. The peace of the night sky was interrupted suddenly by a brilliant explosion of light over the horizon. There was no sound just light. The light didn’t fade right away though, it stayed until streaks shot out from the main source across the sky. Those streaks would eventually hit the ground along the coast of the Haefyn Peninsula, and were they hit, a person would lay only to awaken come morning.
Chrono sat up upon seeing the light, and smiled as he watched it.
“New blood has arrived.” He said to himself as the light finally faded, “Looks like tomorrow’s going to be a busy day.”
Appius Servilius Minervalis
Villa Servilius
Haefyn’s Grave, Haefyn Peninsula
Since arriving in this cursed world, a lot had happened to Appius Servilius Minervalis. First there was the confusion that he and all his comrades of the Ninth had experienced when first waking up on the sandy shores. Then there was the clearing of said confusion through the discovery of the world that they found themselves in. Funny thing was everyone they met was speaking the same language as them, even though they insisted that Appius and his comrades were actually speaking their language. It was that discovery that lead the Ninth to gain permission to explore the world to seek an escape. That exploration lead to battles with beasts and the barbaric natives of Aedrorynn, and the eventual discovery of a certain ruin. That ruin lead to the slaughter of his remaining comrades, and him gaining power. After that, he returned and gained the position that he now held.
Upon becoming a general of the humans of Aedrorynn, he had to put his own personal desire to return home aside. He had a duty to protect the weak, and help keep the humans of Aedrorynn united. That also meant making sure new arrivals were safe when they woke. As such, when he stood on his balcony watching the lights, he was already thinking up a plan of action. When the lights began to fade, he left the balcony. Even though they were on the Haefyn Peninsula, they weren’t necessarily safe.
Shilo Weardhyll
Some Beach
Southern Haefyn Peninsula
Morning had arrived, and on some beach in the southern reaches of the Haefyn Peninsula a single blonde, godforsaken good for nothing laid in the sand. His clothing was torn, and bloodied with both his blood and the blood of others. He groaned as he started to move around slightly. His hand moved across the sand, and only a few moments after a single sigh escaped his lips and he sat up. Shilo scanned the area around him.
Am I dead finally? He thought as he just looked over the ocean in front of him. After a moment he smirked and chuckled to himself as he slowly stood up, No, I can’t be dead. This looks like some sort of heaven. And God knows this god forsaken good for nothing can only likely get into some god forsaken purgatory in death. And that’s being generous. Hell is more likely for me. So unless Hell or Purgatory is some nice god forsaken beach….
“Where the hell am I?” He said started to wander away, slowly. “Ah, no point standing around this god forsaken beach. Probably should find some god forsaken people if there are any here that is...”
