is the working name of the World. The history of the world is largely that it is the new start on top of the previous versions of my game world going back to the first. The Gods are largely ported from my 4th edition world, which in turn were ported from the 3rd Edition world, which in turn... you get the idea. This world represents the 5th iteration of my world, and if you know Arabic, then you'll understand the name. 

PRELUDE:

The Gods fled the Astral Sea as those realms were destroyed. The Primordials, Devils, and Demons fled the Elemental Chaos as those realms were destroyed. The great war happened again as the Gods and Primordials and their allies battled one another Gods & Primordials died in droves. There was no immortality for them any longer, with their home realms destroyed death became very real and very common.

The Shadowfel was the first material plane destroyed in their fighting. The Fey attempted to save the Feywild, but that too ultimately proved futile. Then finally the once immortals destroyed themselves along with the prime material plane. We Died. 

Then the world began anew.

We remember dying. Everyone is unsure if they are dead, our souls committed to this place, or if the memories of our old lives are just something that was dreamt. The world is different from the dream. This world is savage and untamed.

Gods, Devils, Demons, Elementals, and Monsters walk among us, we aren't certain if we should feel safe or be terrified.  We are afraid that we just can't keep ourselves alive.  Who will answer the call to make this world safe?

A few brave souls stood against what stood at One Edge of the World and drove it from the world. We're safer, that is certain. We know there are more people here than anyone dared to hope. We've found that our children do not remember any old life, this is the only place they know.  Where do we go from here?
