Aephiria

Imagine yourself in a world. Maybe not that one you're thinking of... Picture a great waterfall cascading down into a canyon river inside a temperate rain forest, everything's peaceful. The monsters sleep and the Catfolk hunt. Imagine a desert teeming with life, the insects that feed the lizards that feed the hunters that feed the monsters like so many hunters and adventurers before. Imagine sitting on a balcony in a tropical lean-to as you sip your morning tea, staring out into the misty sea to look at the strange land beyond the water, it's uncomfortable to look at for long- sometimes you think you see the world twist and sheer and maybe, just maybe if you listen close enough you can hear the world itself scream. Or is it the ghouls that were riled up by a recent fight across the water, ready to feast on the bodies?   Aephiria is a world of adventure, magic, politics, war, and big monsters. There's a little bit of adventure for everyone from the golden deserts of Israha, to the formidable grasslands of Saarland, and everywhere in between. But most importantly, anyone who knows anything knows that the Blight, the strange, twisted lands that seem to mark the world like a pox scar, is where all the real adventure is. Some may think it can be harnessed, or tamed, or outright destroyed, but can anyone really control a force of nature? No one truly has yet.
