Basic story

INTRODUCTION

In the vast tapestry of space, through the ornamentations of stars, galaxies, and planets; and the weavings of the fiery nebulas, there was one sphere that was hidden within the fabric of this expanse. The planet, Alora, was home to a myriad of races, civilizations, and magic- powerful magic that would work and warp the very lands. Occasionally this chaotic flux of magic would result in the creation of artifacts or relics, highly powerful things from which legends were made. In one such instance, the greatest work of magic was done.

     The power of the land, mixed in with the threads of other realms
and planes of existence, fused together into a large portal of energy.
The portal, with seemingly a mind of its own, would occasionally fluctuate
and spit forth dazed and confused adventurers from the other worlds,
some more than others. At this time,the portal, named the Nexus by the
educated minds of the realms, was still connected to the southern
mainlands near the town of Tarsonis. However, the magical strain of the
Gate's coming proved too much for the land, and a large section of the
land with the Gate in center, split off into an island some distance off
the coast.

    Eventually the years went by, and the natives of Alora found their
way onto the island, even managing to establish a small town on its coast.
However, further expansion deeper into the island's  wilderness was
thwarted by frequent natural dangers that occurred on the interior, and so
the citizens were content to stay near the shore. It is this town that
many of the "out-worlders" work their way to. At the same time, another
change was taking place. Squabbles between the native humans, elves,
dwarves, and other races would break out between them and the ever-
increasing population from the other realms,for numerous reasons of
superiority, right, etc. Today change hangs in the air,  as the
Caretakers watch the Legacy of time unfold its purpose.
