[QUOTE="Voi_D_ragon, post: 7487066, member: 6855956"] Hooooo boy, here we go. Well, my game world comes to life, as all other multiverses before it, thanks to Uhluhtc, the Primordial Force of Creation. He is, also, tired of his mirror being, Cthulhu the Primordial Force of Destruction, devouring all his multiverses and the beings within to make mini versions of himself that eat matter and souls. So he splits himself into eight parts and creates the Weave, which he uses to trap Cthulhu and allow his children to shape the world as they see fit through magic (details [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?594617-Origins-of-your-Game-World"]here[/URL]). After that, over the course of not-so-many millenia, the world came to be what it is. The most notable event, apart from the usual wars between races as they are born and discover each other (dragons v giants, dwarves v elves), is the Sky War. Tharizdun, god of eternal darkness, is, though a child of Uhluhtc, a servant of Cthulhu. He desires to free the Great Devourer and destroy the multiverse one last time. He almost made it once. You see, The Illithid are chroniclers of the history of the multiverses; they were the first race ever created, and they followed Uhluhtc on his journeys between the empty spaces of the void, anchoring their spaceships on him like a swarm of giant insects. They have witnessed everything that has ever happened in all of creations. The race possesses a sort of limited hive mind, with elder brains being the "neurons". In the current instance of the multiverse, they at one point created a planet and plane-spanning empire, but then suffered a massive collective psychosis, allowing the gith to destroy it (they were supposed to record history, not make it). Their technology is beyond the wildest imagination of any mortal in the multiverse, surpassing even magitech in most fields. Long story short, Tharizdun took advantage of a casual meeting between the Illithid and Humans to make one teach their tech to the others, and then united them in a world-spanning conquest, summoning devils along the way. The gods wanted to prevent the world from being utterly swamped by fiends, so they used their power to block off the Material Plane. With their power so utilized, they hadn't the energy to stop the devils invading Mount Celestia. So a group of adventurers back on earth had to unbind the energy protecting the Material Plane, sending it back to heaven like a god-sized nuke, killing many many fiend and blasting the rest out of the plane, where the gods blasted them with a curse that would make them fall forever in an endless Abyss (yes, new plane created right there). Then the debris from the battle fell from the heavens unto the earth, causing massive devastation (destroying a whole region and turning it into an archipelago - the Shattered Lands), while the magical shock wave blew out close to all magic and killed many many magic users in the world, leaving it thousands of years behind what it had been. Magic has never truly recovered, or at least the knowledge of it hasn't. Arcane casters are exceedingly rare, and none but the most ancient beings in the world have witnessed magic above 5th level, which is considered to be the pinnacle of magical mastery. Gods oh so many. I have like 50 written down, and I haven't even decided on the regional ones/all the racial ones yet. Notable regions are: Klastor- huge empire, used to cover the whole Old World. All other regions except Koroka were once imperial provinces. A mix of medieval Russia and the 40k Imperium. Lamven, Chadal- old imperial duchies, now independent, basic human kingdoms. North of these lies the kingdom of Giants Koroka- created by the gods after the Sky War to keep an eye on planar threats, has immense resources, houses hundreds of dragons and is ruled by the Crystal Dragon (who also happens to be a 20th level caster on top of crazy stats I haven't written down but that are crazy). Basically feudal Japan otherwise. Shattered Lands- pirate setting, threatened by a red dragon who wants to take over the world Dynamia- new world colonies, have discovered old magitech texts and have made their new home super advanced. Unknown to the outer world. Playable races are: Humans Elves (no drow) Dwarves Half-orcs Half-Elves Halflings Tabaxi Goliaths Gnomes Dragonborn Tieflings Classes are all the official ones except Arcane Archer, Hexblade Patron and Oath of Redemption. Additional Classes are [URL="https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/H1g2QI1JM"]Inquisitor[/URL] and [URL="https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/BySMZIB1TM"]Samurai[/URL]. PHB Ranger is replaced by [URL="https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/H1ERkh3nf"]this[/URL] also, there's another Barbarian path available for anyone who likes [URL="https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/S1Z5OGUiRz"]grappling[/URL].
