Shards
A shattered world of broken ideals in need of transformation.
This world that was asunder by a cataclysmic magical battle, only one large city remains standing amidst the void that now consumes the rest of the known world. The once vibrant lands that teamed with life are now populated by twisted creatures born from the corruption of death magic and void, constantly seeking to destroy what remains in the last bastian of safety.
The city itself is a marvel of magic and steam punk design, with four distinct districts each with its own unique characteristics. High Circuit stands tall and proud, filled with towering buildings made of shimmering metal and glass that glint in the sunlight filtered through dark clouds. Low Circuit is bustling with activity, its streets lined with workshops where artisans craft intricate gadgets powered by both magic and technology.
Nursery district serves as a sanctuary for the new life of the only remaining species and those who have become injured in the fight against the minions of the void. Lush gardens bloom under enchanted skies while healers work tirelessly to mend wounds inflicted by malevolent forces lurking beyond their borders.Â
In contrast, Low Lands are shrouded in shadows cast by looming factories belching out smoke tainted with ancient sorrows. Slums, hovels, makeshift homes mar the land, adding to the feeling of unwellness. It is the most populated district but also the most overlooked.
Throughout this surviving cityscape, buildings rise like monuments shaped not just by mortal hands but also manipulated through powerful elemental magics woven into every stone or beam. Despite being surrounded on all sides by darkness and despair, there is still hope lingering within these mystical structures—a beacon for those who dare to dream of reclaiming what was lost in that fateful battle long ago.
