Setting and Lore

Established & Server Lore

Where is our game centralized?

On Rathatruum: a roving city that attracts those who wish to see the incredibly vast world! Rathatruum is roughly 2,000 feet in diameter. The legs rise about 900 feet above the ground ‘toe to knee’. The ‘belly’ sits about 200 feet above the ground. Pod homes are generally 20 feet in diameter and the central tower is 200 or so feet tall.

The third and fourth rings are pressed full of moss and solar umbrella trees. The latter are required to help power the town while the former is used as a fuel source and renewable resource so removing them is not an option. A large portion of the third ring is occupied by the waterworks though about a third of the ring is set aside for residential housing.

The second ring is still full of solar umbrella trees and moss but also houses thee worship garden, gathering grounds, and guild offices. Each ring is roughly 250 feet wide and the bulk of the population spends their time in 1/3 of the surface area so it is common place to see other citizens. The number of citizens occupying the town ranges from 150-200 adults.

  • We do ask that players attempt to familiarize themselves with the lore of the server. No one is expected to know everything of course, just try your best!

  • It is recommended that players have a general knowledge of server lore as it relates to their characters. Admin is happy to help on this front.

  • With greater entities that have firm lore on their alignment/history we ask that players who chose these entities as their god or patron be consistent with the generally accepted and known lore. Keep in mind that we do have custom lore for our world and certainly encourage you to incorporate that into your character!

The magic of our world is known as The Resonance. It is much like the Weave of standard 5e lore, just flavored a bit differently. To casters this may mean it is more formulaic, sound based, frequency based, etc. It is, of course, not limited to those concepts as the interpretation of The Resonance can vary from caster to caster.

On planes and planar travel: Not all of the traditional planes are planes. Some of them in our setting are planets that are generally inaccessible outside of higher level magic. We are still working out the lore details for these areas but please feel free to ask server staff if you have any question about a particular plane. Characters themselves are all born on Oidhre and have likely never travelled to another planet as there is not space travel currently.
