Somewhere, out in the infinite cosmos of possibilities there lies Okuza. A world once renowned as the ‘Land of the Gods’ and ‘The Center of All Existence’. Many people made pilgrimages to this mystical world and in time made it their home. Together they built a shared civilization, made unparalleled arcane discoveries, impossible technological advances and lived side by side with the gods.
But that was a very long time ago. The world now stands in ruin. Fractured and broken beyond repair. A collection of floating landmasses and wandering oceans. 400 years ago a cataclysmic event occurred that laid waste to all that had been built there for thousands of years. No concrete records depict exactly what happened or what caused it, only what was left in its wake. This event became known as ‘The Downfall’. Millions upon millions perished. Only a lucky few managed to take refuge in a fortress of unsurpassed technology that protected them for hundreds of years until the worst had passed.
They called this fortress ‘Infinitum’.
But the people of Infinitum could not stay there forever. Overpopulation and famine forced them to open the fortress’ protective shell and venture forth to reclaim the outside world...or what remained of it. But what awaited them was a wilderness where long forgotten arcane secrets and mutated wildlife ran amok. Half buried cities, abandoned civilizations who survived the Downfall and tears into the mysterious trans-dimensional plane of the Void litter the landscapes.
It is a dangerous world filled with horrors...and opportunities.
Many have found themselves called to the frontier of Old Okuza. Some seek to test their mettle while others crave to unearth the secrets of the past. For the mysteries of the Frontier are as vast as the number of worlds in The Great Beyond.
It is with one such group of adventurers that our tale will begin. A rag tag party of warriors, arcanists and other oddities, all of which have found themselves on the Frontier for different reasons. These heroes stand on the precipice of a great and terrible change, unaware of the horrors they will soon face as they get caught up in the cosmic currents of an uncaring world. And it all begins with a simple job to hunt down a beast. A beast of claw and teeth.
