  1. Stray Chow Chow:
  2. so I don't have too much, but the basic idea of the planet itself is it is an egg for a species of cosmic horror-type being (I imagine them looking like cuttlefish because reapers I guess and uttlefish really do look distinctly alien), with a "yolk" of magic that provides nourishment. Eggs are supposed to have only 1 fetus, but this world has a pair of twins which ends up rupturing the "yolk" and allowing magic to seep into the crust and for life to take hold
  3.  
  4. The twins are kind of yin/yang, with one twin being uncharacteristially benevolent/altruistic of the species and the other is more selfish (not speifially malevolent). Generally their influence is seperated into "Order/Civiliation" and "Chaos/Wild". So the influene of each guides the evolution of animals and furries (the order one guides them to be anthro and the chaos one guides others to be feral)
  5.  
  6. So because it is an egg, naturally they need to hatch eventually. At a certain point of development, the order one (I know they still don't have names) becomes developed enough to 1. find wonder in the life on the planet and 2. that when they hatch, all life will be extinguished. So it tries to send a warning to early civilizations on the surface, but most aren't developed enough to deipher/find/whateer the warning, except for one
  7.  
  8. So ancient mayan-esque civiliation figures it out and makes a tablet calender/warning of impending doom when the horrors will hatch. A dragon is chosen and tasked with guarding this tablet and undergoes a ritual which turns him into a gargoyle (able to petrify at will)
  9.  
  10. The other twin finds out about the warning it's twin sent and the tablet and, in an act of self preservation. uses its influene to rain chaos and destrution on the civilization in hopes of destroying the tablet. The guardian, named Elden, is fatally wounded, but the gargoyle magic activates and petrifies him before he dies, putting him into a hibernation/coma state for a really long time, at least a few hundred years but up to thousands
  11.  
  12. so I haven't thought much about what happens in between this time, but the tablet and civilization falls to ruin and is pretty much forgotten
  13.  
  14. A runescribe and loremaster wizard named Ysonde ends up finding evidene of the existene of this civilzation and hires Rosie, a scout/pathfinding/explorer type moth, to help her locate the ruins for study and to see if there are any special runes/scrolls/etc
  15.  
  16. The two find the city after a long while and go to inspect the detailed statue of a dying dragon, which ends up waking him from his restorative hibernation, and he un-petrifies, ompletely unaware of the time that has passed
  17.  
  18. This leads into Elden showing Ysonde and Rosie the tablet and the warning being brought to light. Except by the calender's timeline, the creatures will be hatching fairly soon. Within their lifetimes, probably just a few years or so
  19.  
  20. so the main story/adventure is figuring out how the fuk they are supposed to stop this emergence and catastrophic event. The "wild" horror kind of picks up on this and influences a "herald" of its coming, that looks kind of like a mind flayer but instead of robes she has a sort of mass of tentacles for legs, kinda like a super shapely/curvy squidward xD. and acts as the primary antagonist as she tries to stop the group
