Corrupted Lands
Upon twin peaks tended to by the finest magics meant to bend reality itself formed a single, flat plane above the mountains where researchers of every kind rushed to find limited boarding within the extravagant housing thereupon. Here, the greatest of minds both self-proclaimed and true dabbled in all manners of sorcery and divine intervention with the land in hopes of creating a true Utopia.

Invitations and word had been sent, animals charmed to do the bidding of their magical masters spreading the news to all without a moment’s notice.

A great quake of arcane and divine magic alike spilling from the rend in reality, bleeding together in an unholy mix that wrought as much destruction as any magic user believed it would given the chance.
The first step to Eden was also the first into Chaos…
