. . .
Ages ago in the mists of time, there was a Great War. The Gods, the greatest of the sorcerers, the paragons of the wizards, and the Dragons, the mightiest of all fought for supremacy among themselves. As we all know, the Dragons won . . . but at such a cost. Heaven and Earth were torn asunder, the world itself was wounded near unto death. At the last, the Gods and wizards gave the last of their magic to bind the world together . . .
The last of the sorcerers had allied with the dragons and they too used their powers to bring the world back to life but the world had changed. No longer the vast fields and towering mountains, the long seas and deep forest, now we are all adrift on islands in the Sea of Stars. Only the last strength of the Gods and the mighty heart of the Dragon Queen keeps us for drifting apart forever.
Welcome to the Sea of Stars setting, a world literally shattered by magic and now only saved from destruction by that same magic. A world ruled by dragons, who are distant autocratic rulers. Dragons are rarely seen, but their influence is immense, their power undoubted, they are worshiped, loved, feared and hated by the common folk. Most people will never see a dragon except at a distance, but their magic and strength lies like a shadow over the lands, enforcing the laws of the Dragon Queen, exacting tribute and crushing opposition to the Dragons' Rule.
The vast
interplay of magic and the isolation of the various regions
of the
world have lead to the evolution of strange and
wonderful
lifeforms and
cultures, yet all are in thrall
to the Dragon Queen and
her Court of Seven
Stars.
However, slowly building in strength are the
forces of change, of
rebellion,
those that would see the Dragon Queen
cast down and the lands
freed from her rule. Some oppose
her tyranny,
others the harsh laws of the
dragons, still others seek the
chance to
supplant the Draconic rule with their
own, but whatever their motives
are, they are bound together by their
opposition to the dragons.
Magic is
omnipresent, from gossamer bridges linking the floating
islands of
the world, to sorcerous airships and enchanted
castles.
Magic infuses almost
everything to one degree or another. The greatest
center of magic, learning
and art in the Sea of Stars is
the palace
city of the Dragon Queen herself,
Shel’lioc, or as it is known to
most
‘The Lair.’ Within the palace city, it is said,
are wonders undreamed
of, as all the greatest treasures of man, god and
dragon are contained
in that place.
