Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aeric" data-source="post: 1623516" data-attributes="member: 17012">Of all the D&D worlds, homebrewed and otherwise, that I have seen over the years, I feel that the one I'm currently using is the most original.<a href="http://siraeric.aokp.net/shards.html" target="_blank">http://siraeric.aokp.net/shards.html</a>It was created by a friend of mine and I expanded upon it to a small degree.In a nutshell, it is a world of large shards of rock floating in an endless sky.  The people of the world live upon these shards, where there can be found trees, rivers, etc.  They travel between the shards using magic, most commonly in the form of airships.The shards are layered vertically; above the highest shard is the Solar Hearth, which is effectively the sun.  It is the home of the gods, who live upon it the way that mortals live upon the shards.  Legend has it that the shards are the pieces of the creator-god's shattered body, and that the Solar Hearth is his heart; it does not move through the sky like our sun does, but brightens from a dull red to a brilliant white and back again over the course of a day.Below the lowest shard is a void of nothingness, the opposite of creation, known simply as the Beneath.  The Beneath rises up every once in a millenium to try and claim more of creation, but the efforts of the Pentatra, a massive inter-temple alliance dedicated to protecting the shards from the Beneath, have always pushed it back.It is a work in progress, and beyond the nature of the world and the player-character races (only elves and dwarves made the cut, and even they were changed somewhat), very little is different from standard D&D.  The magic system is the same, the monsters are the same, the weapons and armor are the same, etc.  Hopefully that will change sometime soon.</blockquote>
