Welcome to Zorolai

Welcome to Zorolai! This continent, set far below the equator in the midst of an otherwise vast expanse of monster-infested ocean, is largely uncharted, inhabited by some of the most dangerous creatures ever documented, and the site of one of the most tremendous interplanar phenomena in recorded history. The only known safe establishment on the entire continent is the small town of Creston on a shield island called Redbar, an old explorers’ base of operations, which grew into an outcast’s haven, and eventually into a small city made wealthy by its miracle crop, commonly known as sandleaf. As a nationless settlement, the Ostron Trading Company (OTC) is Creston’s economic lifeline back to the rest of the civilized world, but their ambitions for the continent are expansive. With the help of their new science partner, Pulminov Research & Industry, and a band of monster hunters known as the Peregrine Pact, they intend to tame Zorolai and expand on its settlement initiative. That’s where YOU come in, but it’s only the beginning of the story.
Roughly a century ago, around about the opposite side of the planet, an immense clashing of magic tore open the Rift, a hole through the Astral Plane and a gateway between planes. Monstrosities and magical energies from across the universe were free to pour through — and many did, to detrimental effects on the surrounding regions. Ground zero around the Rift transformed over time into a horrid and disfigured wasteland, where none who entered would leave unaffected. Similar events have since been observed at significantly smaller scales in ripples and tears across the world, though none nearly comparable in effect to the original Rift. That was, until revelations within the last decade pointed toward Zorolai, suggesting it could have some of the most intense concentration of breaks between the planes on the planet. One small island town would not be nearly sufficient enough for the operation necessary to thoroughly investigate the dangerous, only-partly-charted continent; help from many walks of life were recruited to begin a grand-scale expedition out of Creston.
You are not the first to join the expedition, and you will not be the last, but you are needed. Whether you are a resident of Creston, an associate to the OTC, an assistant to Pulminov, a hunter of the Peregrine Pact, or a capable being of other origins signing on to this adventure, your role begins now.
