Overall Storyline
In a constantly shifting world, both literally and figuratively, where continents shrink to archipelagos in years not aeons, and mountain ranges burst forth over the course of month's, civilization has evolved to be constantly shifting and nomadic. A few tribes still walk the land, though most have taken to inhabiting mobile settlements. Some are small little hamlets, carried about on scaffold like frames, picking their way across the scenery, others are vast cities that are the scenery in themselves, littering the backs of mountain sized snails creeping across the landscape.
The biggest of these, Mollouscopollis Prime, attracts people and beings from all around "The 13th", and further beyond, to seek their fame and fortune, or as a shelter and refuge from the chaos of the wider world. Many have achieved acclaim and the trappings of wealth from the lucrative quality of mass civilization.
However, all that glitters is not gold, and something sinister festers at the heart Society in Mollouscopollis Prime. The poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the most powerful stand on those below to raise themselves up out of the mire. The good life is available for those that can afford it, and a comfortable existence for just enough to keep the populace docile.
But as the balance of power sways ever more in the favour of the few, and those caught in the middle start to feel the pinch, more and more whispers of discontent are starting to spread, and rumours of an terrorist organisation begin to sprout like a weed, impossible to root out. To add further to the storm clouds that are gathering, dark stories are starting to come in about strange disappearances of settlements and cities, and whispers of The Elder Elementals, The True Avatars of the Asdre, awakening from their long slumber are on everybody's lips.
