The world the Red Baron inhabits is a hostile, dangerous and fragmented fantasy setting of Astalos. A amalgamation of floating "islands" with their own cultures, fauna and flora on them. Birds being the only consistency across the islands, and the ever present fear of falling off the edge. The shattered world of Astalos earned its title and breathtaking vistas after a cataclysmic world altering event. Of unknown origins the world violently and without warning exploded. As chunks of Astalos separated from the planet, a Deity known as The Ruined Architect made a desperate attempt to save the realm. He tossed powerful magic crystals from his realm at the remaining fragments of the world. Without precision and with only a general idea of the locations the scattered and diverse population inhabiting Astalos were. Thus the world was saved, barely and with some more fortunate than others. Many were forever lost to the void and the world was unfathomably changed.
