Multiverse Inspiration
This storyline assumes a multiverse, similar to that used in many popular fantasy roleplaying games. This assumption allows us to have separate planes of existence, cosmic wars, and multiple habitable earth-like planets without getting all tied up in the messy details.
The setting and campaign use the Dungeons & Dragons 5e SRD rules. These suit our purposes being flexible, familiar, and enjoyable. However, the default Forgotten Realmstm setting didn't fit our needs.
The foundational myth's Great Seal, however, gives us the ability to pick and choose. Sealed away, we bring only the game system elements and multiverse we want and leave the rest behind. We've decided to keep much of the D&D multiverse, including its vast collection of creatures, spells, magical items, and mechanics. We've left behind the pantheons and racial lore. We also hope to avoid the systemic racism implicit to the setting.
The resulting setting focuses on a single fictional planet of Zihæt, sealed away during The Great War.
