Here it is:It is set on a infinate plane which is the last refuge of a once powerful multiverse. All the people's of the verse settled here, refuges from their homes taken from them by what is simply called the Blackness.The Blackness is actually the beginnings of a new multiverse that began to form out of the growing distances between the verses. It slowly began to eat away at and destroy the old verse, the "Blackness" is simply the border of this verse.For a short while the refuges of the planes peacefully began to colonize this last seemingly impenetrable plane. Then the Blackness came, it came in the form of a seething and boiling darkness blocking out the sky. Chaos erupted and severed the fragile peace; war, genocide, cults to the Blackness all formed in this chaos.Now a few years has passed and a uneasy truce has been passed across the various points of colonization. Now is a time of discovery, reconciliation, revenge and most of all seeking knowledge of the Blackness.It is a setting where:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All manner of race and creature from across every plane converge together in single cities, towns and across this whole plane.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Advance science, magick and supernatural knowledge left-over from the old verse combine to forge new lives. Cities made entirely of rusted out Astral Skiffs, monolithic skyscrapers kept aloft with science and eldritch knowledge.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A land of odd and unusual sights; the Blackness above with its tendrils and tentacles weaving down and seeping clean whatever it touches. Great cities plowing along the plains on a wave of tentacles coming from below and not above. A horizon stretching on forever with blackness above and only sliver of red light during the day and the waning moon at night.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Conspiracy and treason are a daily afare. Many people believing each night is their last. Border conflicts, nights of carnal pleasure and murder mix with desperate delving into archives and gleaming the minds of those of old for a way to stop this doom.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Once mighty Mega-Cabals of the verse now send research teams to explore and understand this new universe, and perhaps work with the denizens that lay within.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The mysterious changes in the plane, could the Blackness be seeping in, in other ways.</li> </ul>So yeah, that only scratches the surface really. It is mainly oriented around figuring out what the hell the Blackness is (PCs don't know it is a new universe), figuring out what the corporations are up to, exploring the new plane and deciding whether it is better to fight to survive or enjoy what may be your last days. Plus just cool looking places.Another setting I have that I'll describe more the history of since that is the most important aspect of it (there is more history and goings on but this is a brief one):The world is not a real world. It is artificial, a snap-shot of a world from the distant past now gone and destroyed in the great war between the Gods.This Artificial World slept silently for a time, its God-Machine maintaining it and the ley lines that power its reality. However, remnants of the old war wanted in. The "Angels" as they were called found a entrance in the barriers of the artificial World as the God-Machine began to malfunction.For a time they ruled on this Artifical World; commanding the God-Machine to build them a race of slaves and a city that crossed the entire sky. For a time the God-Machine obeyed, then came one night where the slaves revolted a repeating message from the God-Machine echoing in their minds.As the great city collapsed it disrupted the power of the Artificial World and its reality fracturing it into many. The slave race warped into many others, and new creatures formed in the fractures of reality. These aberrations soon took control, becoming the now dreaded rulers, the "Nobles". The Nobles created massive cities on top of the black monolithic stones that scatter the landscape (remains of the floating city) from here they rule with absolute power. The other races being a beaten people and living in the shadows of the great towers and massive conduits linked to the monoliths, siphoning off its power. Now some of the new races seeks freedom in the places between reality and learn to manipulate and create their own, or seek out and try to speak too perhaps repair the now massively malfunctioning God-Machines perhaps some distant instinctual memory of the rebellion message still echoing in their minds. Others use simply wit and steel to fight and come face to face with the Nobels.</blockquote>
