The Realm of Riftfall

What is a Rift?

As opposed to other settings and games where

the term “rift” may refer to a tear in the fabric of
space-time, or a portal accidentally opened into a
neighboring dimension, for the realm of Riftfall, a
rift is a place, a location where the familiar is torn
away, leaving the unknown in its place.

Some rifts are known across the realm but rarely

explored or adventured into due to the high risk
and danger one may face. It is rumored that
within rifts weird things that make odd noises or sounds, possess strangely colored lights are leftover
relics from the Holographic Age.

So much was lost in the Great Collapse, knowledge,

expertise, and the actual technology itself that any place
which appears it may contain or at least hint at the
existence of it is largely avoided by the majority of the
citizenry. Only desperate treasure seekers or ambitious
explorers dare to investigate its completely alien
appearance and behavior.

Magic, and the use of it, has replaced anything from the
Holographic Age that may have had its equivalent. In the
current day of this realm, it is called “Riftfall” for a reason.
The Great Collapse was a warning from the gods, powerful
Outsiders that shape and govern the world and the
universe and whatever was the cause of it is best to
remain a mystery.

The are many presumed hidden or lost rifts across the realm, and what secrets they may hold or what
artifacts they may contain is, by many, best lost to
the ages and not to be reclaimed should we anger
the Outsiders, the powerful deities that truly rule
from a place beyond our perception.

However, that is not what you, and your adventuring

companions, have in mind at all.
