The Realm of Tarsere

Welcome to The Realm of Tarsere. A world shrouded by the ever-present Veil and subsequently cut-off from the rest of the Prime Material Universe. It was created by the Elder God Helos as a personal atonement for the wanton destruction he caused during the Godswar at the Dawn of Creation. Helos intended it to be an idyllic paradise realm whose inhabitants wanted for nothing, but the emergence of his immortal foe, the Elder God Dhamoc -- a primordial force of Chaos from a much younger universe, bent on escaping and wreaking havoc across all of existence -- changed all that. Helos reshaped Tarsere into a perpetual prison for Dhamoc. When Dhamoc discovered he couldn't cross The Veil and escape he raged and turned his malevolent attentions inward, intent on corrupting Helos' paradise from within.

Tarsere exists in an adjacent "quantum sargasso" plane of existence with only a few tenuous planar threads anchoring it to the wider universe. As such, the species and creatures that have evolved within its bounds did so with little to no outside influence and are wholly unique interpretations of the familiar races found elsewhere in the cosmos. Despite this isolation, each of the species herein have developed vibrant, thriving cultures with rich histories. Many have been tempered by constant vigilance against Dhamoc's forces, while others seek to understand the mysteries of what's beyond The Veil. All are trying to recapture a spark of knowledge or glories past after Dhamoc caused a cataclysmic plague across the planet, nearly destroying or mutating everything.
