User blog:Sofia The Odyssey/Tales of the World Beyond, Volume 1

'once upon a time... in the land of Nexius... a ragtag group of adventurers stumbled upon a rare find. while exploring old ruins far from the known regions of the realm, they came across a mystical gemstone. it teemed with power beyond their wildest dreams. none of them knew what it was. yet their curiosity overcame them... when they attempted to tap into the gemstone's power. the gemstone detonated in a flurry of light and energy... and where it was, stood a being, made of the finest mist ever. she warned the adventurers that there is means to enter a realm beyond that of the known parts of Nexius. yet with this revelation came the thought of danger... a realm untouched by evil perhaps? it had more to attract than the Nexi would have wanted... but they bit the bullet. finding another gemstone, only to see it detonate in a like fashion to the previous one... but now, they found themselves stranded. somewhere that their maps will be able to point to... they entered the World Beyond. and now they were not adventurers... but settlers. founders of new kingdoms... but they knew little of what awaited them in this new world...'

intro
To those that already know me... hello again :) To those who are new, welcome. It is finally time; time to reveal the biggest play of the wiki. Behold, the Tales of the World Beyond. These so-called stories are the wiki's foundation in RP; they are the thing to set the stage. However, they are not pre-ordained. How they progress... is up to you, the RPer. There will be many chances to have a shot at telling your own story through the stories that made the World Beyond.
