Zatvor
July 28th 335 AP
Over 300 years ago, explorers discovered a gigantic and ancient portal, complete with a fractured keystone. This portal lead to a new world, similar to the original, but different enough to warrant new mysteries and a new name - Zatvor. The very land, sea and air brim with magical energy, yet all are disconnected from The Weave, something even the greatest minds and mages are struggling to comprehend.
Many have come to Zatvor seeking wealth, power, adventure, knowledge and answers. As one of the many adventurers making their way to this new frontier, you step through the portal on one of its few Opening Days, and begin to see why so many venture forth into this great unknown. With or without an affinity for the arcane or the divine, your senses are immediately overwhelmed with a tingling sensation. You can feel a subtle jolt on the fringes of your skin and a slight widening of your perceptions the instant you take the first breath of new world air. Everything natural is familiar, yet subtly different: the vegetation is taller and more lush, the animals are larger and bear more life, the water is crystal clear and the earth is rich with energy. No wonder, then, does the great metropolis of Truce stand before you as a massive, shining jewel of urbanization, having been born and matured in unheard-of speed.
Now, with an entire new world strewn before you full of opportunity, your mind begins to fill with questions. What is this world, exactly? Why do they say it is disconnected from The Weave and yet it still teems with life and magical energy? Who constructed the portal that leads here? Does that same civilization still inhabit this world, and if so, where are they? The answers to these questions and more mysteries are out there, you need only take the first step on your journey towards seeking them out.
