The Convergence of Realms - Lost City of Knowledge

Written by DoStuffZ

In a world where boundaries between dimensions are absolute, an ancient and hidden source of power has fractured the very fabric of reality. This cosmic cataclysm has led to the emergence of interdimensional rifts, threatening to tear apart the multiverse. At the epicenter of this cosmic disturbance lies the Lost City of Knowledge, an enigmatic realm that exists between worlds, housing unimaginable secrets. It is here that this uncontainable power was initially locked away by an ancient civilization, the remnants of which have left behind fragments of this energy in the form of vestiges.
Individuals from various walks of life found themselves inexplicably drawn to these vestiges. As they touched them, they were either rewarded with newfound abilities or punished as the overwhelming energy consumed them, turning them into malevolent entities.
The vestige-bearers, each marked by their unique vestige, must now journey across the interdimensional rifts to collect all the vestiges and restore balance. The rifts lead them to diverse realms, each more surreal and perilous than the last. They'll encounter allies who can aid them in their quest and adversaries who have been twisted and corrupted by the vestiges' power.
