New Frontier

As mortal folk, you were born to Na'aka; the Central Plane of existence, affixed between the seven hells and heavens. A perfect disc, with water spilling from the edge, running across the underside and flowing up again through a central opening known commonly as Bluestone. Favorite plane of the absent creators, Na'aka was given every gift they had to spare; life, love, the liberty of free thought, and magic.

Then they dissapeared. All across Na'aka, people found their creators absent in every trial of life, and so they cried for help. Bound by duty, the denizens of the fourteen higher and lower worlds worked tirelessly to create bureaus known as The Servant's Quarter and Judge's Row to tend to Na'aka; answering the prayers of the needy, and tearing down the sinners.

You enter into the world at a time where the bureau's are beginning to change. Beneath the feet of mortal men, in the bowel's of Judge's Row, eight princes gather lieutenants to their side, and band together the demons of the lower realms to tempt the mortals down into their ranks, destroying the need to work for Na'aka at all. The Servant's Quarter works diligently to do the job of both bureaus, but even with so many to answer the prayers of mortals, some pleas begin to go unanswered.

Civilisation grew from the need's of the people of Na'aka; without their lives catered for them so thoroughly, they worked for themselves, and began to name the world that surrounded them. Malric, your continent, is one of them. Malric is a place protected by ancient constructs; old churches, old guilds, old traditions. It's no wonder that when new-money family Cohort and Sons described their invention of the horseless carriage that people were first suspicious. But now, Malric finds itself thrust into a new world of technology it does not yet understand; the secrets to progression lie in the hands of the richest people, and expect the trust of those beneath them that they will not abandon them.

Meanwhile, the world shifts, unsettled by this new expansion. A famous warrior is struck down by a man all in black, and her daughter vows revenge. An heiress is chosen for the most powerful guild in the world. A village is saved from extinction by a sole hunter, who finds hell in the sand. A dark family watches as their son rises to grace, vowing his return. To the east lies the New Frontier; and the answers to what threatens the world.
