Setting:
The Age of Humanity
- Very little is known about this era. There were miracles, wars, and strife, but what brought about the end might be recorded in ancient texts somewhere… The world of humanity has come and gone.
The Age of Animals
One word to describe the period after humanity…unrest…
When dusk fell, a new dawn rose. The age of humanity, technology, and triumph had come and gone, but the relics, structures, tools, and remains of their age lay scattered across the lands in ruin.
Only animals survived in this age, and those who stayed at the top of the food chain were the survivors. A new player, Mother Nature herself, marked the end of this age…
The Age of Nature
The seasons were no longer what they once were during the age of humanity.
The summer sun brought colored snow with strange side effects.
- The Fall winds brought music and mystery.
- The winter brought life and wonder.
The Spring brought deception and chaos.
Nature itself became a fight for survival.
The Dawn of Magic
The flash in the sky changed everything. All living beings were struck down, but only some arose.
Some were animals from ages past.
Some were humanity-age objects that came to life.
Some were evolved creatures, now only echoes of what they once were.
However, animals, creatures, and objects suddenly had strange, frightening new powers that could lead to their salvation or destruction. Unfortunately, with great power comes a great curse…
As these creatures awaken and adapt to the new world order, some questions remain unanswered:
What caused the flash? Maybe it was the mysterious creature known as the Night King.
Will the seasons be better or worse than they were in ages past?
Will the dawn of magic bring about a new society, new knowledge, or more destruction?
Can you survive one year and live to tell the tales of the dawn of Magic?
Your story begins with your awakening…
