HISTORY & EVENTS

In time lost to history Arion was tasked to guard the material world from the beings that exist beyond reality, while serving as one of the guards he was betrayed by the people he was sworn to protect who sealed him into his own sword allowing the creatures to pour forth into Etheria, shattering the planet but also grantibg those who betrayed him immortality along with nigh limitless magical power. These events are long lost to the winds of time and only faintly remembered by Arion himself as the cycle of using a host has imprinted coubtless lifes onto him. In recent history one of the ancient beings has begun to act upon the world directly again and this has stirred monsters to begin to arise and terrorize the shattered realms, though the rifts only appear in more remote areas avoiding population centers, along with evil practicioners of magic being promised access to more power should they assist they ancient outer beings in their eldritch machinations. Various adventurers have set out to stop the incursions.
