The Near Now...
Later today, early tomorrow, sometime next week, the world began to end.
They came from other cosms—other realities— conquerors joined together to steal the Earth’s living energy...to consume its possibilities. The Reality Raiders brought with them their own realities, turning portions of our planet into someplace else.
Led by a mysterious and ancient individual known only as the Gaunt Man, the High Lords each claimed a piece of Earth for themselves. Each established his or her primitive, pulp, dark fantasy, cyberpapacy, high tech, or horror realm on our world, setting the conquest in motion.
In some realities, the raiders encountered stiff resistance from the residents of Earth and those defenders full of Possibility Energy, the “Storm Knights.“ They rose up against the Gaunt Man and his allies, battling back with the full fury of their will and eventually overthrowing the invaders.
But this is not one of those realities. In this reality, in this time, the High Lords are winning.
Our World
Core Earth
This is the Earth of high drama and action movies. Very similar to our own reality just with a little of that movie magic. This reality has amounts of Possibility Energy that have never before been seen in this part of the Multiverse. The Raiders are here to deplete this poorly understood energy and leave the Earth a dry husk.
