Final Dark
In the infinite expanse of realms, not many things are consistent. Realms vary greatly from one another. Things like races, technology, even the elemental composition of the worlds these people know can vary wildly between realms. However, one thing is a consistent. All realms that exist, will eventually be forced to face their own Final Dark. This event is cataclysmic, and results in over 99% of all realms eventually dying off. What exactly is the Final Dark? To put it simply, the beings of a realm will be forced to face something equal in power to the creation of their own realm. In other words, to survive, your people must become stronger than that force which created them. Mind you, this does not mean every individual must be this way. Some realms have overcome this trial with sheer numbers. Others technology. But this isn't a story about the realms that have already survived. This is a story about a realm known as Terra, one that has yet to face its Final Dark. Before we meet the main cast for this story, let us take a look at Terra. As it currently stands, Terra has two primary continents, Thela and Ortesia. Ortesia is a country with a massively rich focus on their own unique cultures. high mountains cover the majority of the outer layer of Ortesia, minus the southern shore which contains the city of Ging. Ging Port is VITAL to Ortesia, as it serves as the primary location for import and exports to pass through the country. The majority of this tale will focus on Thela for one simple reason. It is home to the Thelan Guild of Adventurers! What is an adventurer you might ask? That's a complicated question with a plethora of answers. Adventurers could be defined as any of the following! Daring heroes who want to change the world. Fame seekers looking to become the most well known adventurer. Stoic warriors who only wish to better themselves. Brave leaders who want to help lead the charge to a better future. Finally, freedom seekers who want to experience all the uniqueness of life to its fullest. --------------------- Writer's Note: I'm looking very forward to sharing this world with you all, it's been a passion of mine in the works for some time now. I'm still figuring out how to write and translate my vision to Tumblr, but if nothing else i am optimistic! All of my writing related to this will be linked via the #finaldark tag, so if you like this keep an eye out there, i might upload more soon! Until then here, enjoy my crappy MS Paint rendition of the realm of Terra!
