Sparked Destruction
Their regions have collided, they are in chaos, and without anyone to help but themselves. It's up to the people to decided if they want chaos or order to be the outcome of their story. Right now, the worlds are meeting new eras; magic, technology, and the unknown.

⚰︎ Sparked Destruction
Everything was fine, until it wasn't. That's usually how it goes, isn't it?
Every region, plane, universe, home - whatever you wish to call it - was living it's day-to-day life. There was nothing out of the ordinary, no anomalies, nothing misplaced. The locals would've described it just as that; a normal day.
All within the same moment, the skies gained an unnatural darkness. It was instant, covering across the whole region, until the darkness turned into a bright, nebulous explosion. This explosion was within milliseconds, without reaction time to offer, and caused the regions to split and rip apart. With how abrupt it was, lives were lost, families displaced, and no one was able to help one another. Chaos was unleashed, and it's still untamed.
An earthquake would've looked like child's play, with how the regions were rocked, shoved together, as they all collided within the same millisecond they disappeared. The oceans were restless, the ground was lifting with debris, and the solar systems were living beside one another; far too close, but just enough space between them to not cause any issues, at this time.
Now, all the regions lay in a settling chaos as they adapt to their new home.
At this time, they lack necessities and luxuries.
-
No governments, no leaderships, no rulers.
-
Emergency services aren't able to handle this destruction; they lack people and abilities to help. They're trying their best.
-
Food is scarce, water is questionable, and living arrangements will have to be made.
-
Power is coming and going, but stabilized enough for day-to-day, if reserved at nightfall.
-
Cell service is down, there are no social medias that can be reached any longer.
-
Electronics may have been fried during the explosion, causing a lot of missing data from previous world, but not forever gone.
-
Magic is displaced, it feels out of reach, but not forgotten.
-
The oceans are a mix of nearly any type of water, causing a overlap of species running into one another, leaving blood-filled waves.
In an attempt to stabilize the regions, the people will need to work together to maintain their new homes. However, not everyone is going to have open arms, and those who seek chaos may work against others, and wish to maintain an unbalanced world.
⚰︎ The Lost Lands
Serocea became a mixture of any and all water types, causing species to overlap with one another. It's starting out as a battleground, for people to either join in protecting their sliver of the ocean, or remain in hiding for the battle to wear itself out. Many homes have been lost, the water is shared, and that isn't settling right for most. Pirates from Io Dagda are a new threat, however the tourists from Aelthaz are an 'all you can eat' buffet at this time.
Abeir remains in the sky, with different day patterns depending on where the islands lay. They have lost all of their living, however the eggs upon their islands have hatched, and hatchlings fly around and will soon start to take over as the new dragons of Abeir. They are facing their own threats now; high winds and constant storms, that may spread into the other regions as hurricanes and/or tornados. Some of the hatchlings aren't able to keep up with the highwinds and have lost their lives with their little wings.
⚰︎ DyMnNo-γ
When the regions had been ripped apart and put together again, their water source become an iffy source. They had everything figured out, they had clean water, and now it's contaminated once again. Having to rebuild The Well to redirect the radiated waters down unto the tunnels, away from their city, they work off of the last of Fort Bridgemore's water treatment plant's resources within The Well.
Meanwhile, the cultists who were homed here have lost their leadership and are frantically working to get someone in robes to lead their teachings. Their necrotic magic is unstable, their churches are lacking in numbers, and their attempting to keep any of their bodies alongside them; both alive and dead.
This is the first time, in countless years, that these people would be able to see a modern time era, Aelthaz, and be able to go get resources they lacked. Their technology may be able to be revived, their people can thrive again.
The people of DyMnNo-γ are the only ones who have lived through destruction before, even if this is different, it's comfortable.
⚰︎ Io Dagda
In the dead of night, a fierce trembling woke them all, villagers and the creatures below alike. Houses shook loose from their foundations, people were thrown from their beds, guards stationed along the roads were swept away by an unforgiving force no one could see through the nightly mist. When the earth settled, soldiers scrambled to assess the damages and assist the people, and as the sun rose, the people of Wyndameer watched the fog melt away to reveal a new and chaotic land far from home. The Baron, who had left earlier that evening for a trip to the capitol, was assumed to be lost in the destructive chaos.
The fae-kind below had huddled up together on the Life-Tree's island while the roots held the trembling cave walls. Rocks and debris spilled below, crashing into the water, the trees, and some knocking off branches of the great glowing tree itself. The tunnel workers of Mystrock Keep fled deeper into the caves, and some into the Aurun Amaya to seek shelter. In that moment, hostilities were briefly forgotten as the workers and the fae kind clinged to one another.
The least advanced of all the regions, the people of Io Dagda hold the strongest connection to magic, however the necrotic nature of DyMnNo-γ can become a risk to their people and the Life-Tree.
⚰︎ Aelthaz
Everyone was living their normal day in the city full of modern conveniences until they weren't. What was initially reported as, and believed to be a freak earthquake in a city typically devoid of those, made international news when an entire downtown was lifted into the sky and suddenly disappeared, leaving a gravitational disruption in its wake.
When their chunk of the university town came crashing back down onto the plane, massive tsunami waves rose to meet those that survived. Everyone scrambled to higher ground, the fragments of law enforcement and EMT that were absconded with this section of the city desperately tried to keep up with the stranded citizens and help them through the disaster. Power, water, internet, gas, and supply lines were completely shut off. Food and medical commodities were depleted from the few restaurants and stores that survived within mere hours. The mayor is gone, no one knows what to do next.
Being the middle in advancement, they're now introduced by magic from Io Dagda and never before seen technology from Zan'notic.
⚰︎ Zan’notic
The city form tomorrow was a home that was already built to survive its own disastrous ways, one day when the world seemed to be anger than before, it was tested in ways it had never seen before. Satellites were gone, power was hit-or-miss; the power dependent metropolis was dark for the first time since anyone can remember.
People were in a panic, looting, rioting, and the only people still with power had been those floating above.
There was damage across all cities, but all else was the same. However the atmospheric generator was not the same, it had not been working to the same level anymore. The people above in Nuvola Inc., with all their recourses and power, are distracted trying to revive what keeps them alive. Police forces are stretched thin and become more brutal under the stress, unassisted by their once powerful machine forces.
Now, being the most advanced out of all regions, they fight and work endlessly to get everything back online. Being the only region with a police force and hospital, there is debate of allowing the other region's people in.
What will become of a world that needed all their inventions to even breathe the air they had today.
It's been two weeks since the chaos took hold of everyone's lives. There has been progress, room for improvement, new enemies, and new allies.
While all the regions were still cautious of one another, there were parties within that were not afraid of this change.
There is a small group that has rumored to attempt to understand the balance of the world. They have been working to help get resources that are required for a better living, across all regions. This group claims to be named Crescent Inc., but they have yet to prove themselves to all of those around them. They have, however, managed to offer some relief to certain regions.
A Doctor, taking notes on different regions and their threat levels, managed to make reports enough to start a library that will become public for all to reference. These reports even have strange anomalies that have appeared within the chaos.
A report on Gummy Bears? No, these Gummy Bears were life-sized, and feral, and were here for about a week before they disappeared. Apparently they are violent..
While the Gummy Bears were being confronted in Io Dagda, within DyMnNo-γ another threat took hold.
A mercenary, a healer, and a demon walk into DyMnNo-γ...
Cultists were running the streets and causing mayhem for those all around. Luckily, there was a small group there that put an end to their chanting ways. They carried their words as sharp as the knives in their hands, preaching of a god, and those who did not follow alongside them are nothing but rats. Luckily, they were taken out, either by their own doings or the group they attacked.
Meanwhile, all the regions are suffering from food shortages. Diners are keeping up with all they can, hunters are trying their best to keep the sources from dying out but killing enough to feed their family. Regions are getting possessive of their resources. Who's to blame them? However, somehow, during these struggles, a Waffle House appeared. It did offer waffles, but it was a battleground for the strongest warrior.
All while they're being possessive of their resources, Crescent Inc. has been working to spread their resources across all regions. And, in the dead of night, those regions with power sources had a flicker of light. And soon electronics, street lights, the hospital and police station, and anywhere else across all regions have power. This is allowing the emergency responders to pick up the pace in helping people.
Cell service is still down, there are no social medias, so only those running around on foot with word of mouth are spreading the news of the relief centers being able to better assist.
On the nature side of things, the new Life Tree was confronted, questioned, and allowing more knowledge to grow. They're learning that the rooting system stretches further down and further out than expected. Those who have a connection to known life trees, world trees, trees of knowledge, and so forth, would feel a connection to this tree, along with something much deeper below.
⚰︎ Anomaly: Wayword
Power was turned on with the help of this lesser known facility: Crescent Inc. The wastelanders fought and regained running water, which across all regions, helped them as well. Now, a group of hackers, tech-aligned, and cyber-enhanced have had enough, and with the cell service being accessible -
It's time to get social media back online.
The wastelanders had their radio, and it was not enough for those more advanced. They needed their engagement, needed their likes, subscribers, sharing their posts and bathing in the love, and hate, the world had to offer them. As the devices across the regions recently have started to delete old social media apps, and re-downloading it's own: WayWord.
This app previously was listed as 'Unnamed', but recently the app has updated itself with a name and icon. The site can also be accessed across the web as well.
With WayWord's arrival, notifications began to pop up:
-
Excited for our new app? Check us out!,
-
Miss the old social media days? Wait no longer, get yourself out there.,
-
Felt pretty, might post on WayWord later.
The app was designed to be an all-in-one. With the option of #wayword-sfw and #nsfw-wayword. The app is designed to accept any styles of posts, from video, audio, photos, to simple text posts.
No one knows who made this app, who's behind the notifications, or the installing on the device. The app can be deleted, and re-downloaded, but there are no other social media outlets offered within the regions. The chaos of the planes clashing together caused anomalies, and one of those anomalies simply was to remove the social medias. And a new anomaly: WayWord.
Along with WayWord's arrival, the emergency lines are back online for #911-emergency and a new service line: #crescent-services. The world is getting on it's feet, people are becoming less afraid of the world, and more afraid of what's going to become of it.
The world was becoming more of a home for everyone, regardless of the region.
With the app Wayword being the only social media outlet, it made people question. Some were just happy to finally have that ability to post, while others were struggling to understand what happened to the previous outlets.
911 was back online, with different types of responders across all regions. Knights, EMS, Police, Army, Nurses, etc. It was an odd mixture, with all the different offerings across the different eras.
Crescent Inc. started to make themselves more known. A group that looks over all regions, in an attempt to maintain balances and keep an eye on anomalies that have been happening. They declare no wars, nor call themselves kings, they are Crescent Inc. After all has been done, the worlds are able to live their lives. Water, power, cell service, internet, you name it - they have it.
Businesses have opened their doors, across all the regions. Outside of the businesses blossoming, each region has it's own update to share to the world.
⚰︎ The Lost Lands
Winds are picking up, storms are unleashing, and the sound of thunder is getting confused for dragons. The shift in the islands, causing the storms to stretch down to the regions below. Dragons have previously caused the storms to settle, under their wings. The dragons now have been missing, and the storms have been growing too aggressive.
⚰︎ DyMnNo-γ
Along with the trade between Io Dagda, the issues with the cultists keep emerging.
Cultists have been slaughtered on sight, causing them to change tactics. They started to head underground, leaving more of Fort Bridgemore to itself, to its people, and the rest of the cultists head towards their Lair. The change was big enough to cause the (NPCs) of Bridgemore to hesitantly take the streets.. and start life once more. (FBG) Rip & Tear are the one's that have forced the cultists underground.
They know exactly who is to blame, and they will remember this.
⚰︎ Io Dagda
Connections to DyMnNo-γ are growing.
Halls of Fire and Steel have been working with the (FBG) Rip & Tear to get connections made between the two regions. Food, weapons, personal - almost anything has been discussed and worked for, attempting to gain peace, at least between the two groups.
On the other side of things, Knights have been becoming more aggressive to anyone they see that resemble the fae. As the fae typically remain underground, some have been surfacing up on the lands under the group name: (FBG) Kinsfolk of Aurun Amaya.
⚰︎ Aelthaz
Pride Month was here, and the citizens are already on their feet decorating the city. Balloons, flags, festivities, all coming to life.
The frat house remains in denial, the restaurants get ready for their limited editions, and the beach resort gets ready for their parties. It looks like everyone is ready to run the streets with all their gayness. Nothing new, let's be honest, but they're here for a good time - not a long time. After all, most who live in Aelthaz are human.
Until recently, when the college started to see an increase in animal-aligned students and professors. They got confused, seeing an influx in what they thought were furries. But, the college doesn't discriminate, and signed them up for their classes. New professors to teach the history lessons, new students in each class, and new stars on the basketball team.
⚰︎ Zan’notic
Life is brought back, now that the life online is back online. Hackers have already began to be a problem.
Finding anyone they can abuse, more stationed in Aelthaz who aren't used to seeing this advanced technology. They've been abusing the system, for their own selfish needs, and finding ways to sabotage those who cannot fight against.
However, this is causing people to stay on their toes, and start to wonder if Zan'notic is making itself out to be the enemy.
