"They were alone on the glassy blue ocean. A waterfall stretched endlessly along the horizon line. The water at the edge of the world was like a placid pond, as if enjoying a last few seconds of existence before cascading over the edge in a raging torrent of white-capped water. Directly in front of them was Kruphix’s Tree. Two enormous trunks were separate at the base, but they arched toward each other and joined at the top in a single leafy crown. Stars glittered beyond the waterfall, but the background was milky violet with tinges of deep blue. The seawater that plummeted over the edge disappeared into the abyss of the stars. They had reached the edge of the world."

Theros is a world of Myth and Magic, where the collective unconscious of mortal people has the literal power of creation, though the process unfolds over the course of countless centuries. It is a world based within Bronze-Age Hellenism, and draws upon the legends and myths related to the gods of that time and place.
