The Wyrd Woods is a place of magic and fantasy. The trees stretch forever skyward ending in unreachable canopies. Long ago the creators of the Wood made a pact with the old gods. They promised devotion for power and a place to call their own. This desperation was born of the Salem Witch Trials which is the time where most of the inhabitants came from. Over the years the two covens of witches vied for dominance over the Wyrd Woods with any human descendants suffering somewhere in the middle. The Succubi, demon-pact witches bent on dominance, believe the Wood is their creation alone and seek to rid it of humans and the Nephalem. The Nephalem on the other hand seek peace and oneness with nature and the other inhabitants of the forest. The forest itself is inhabited with the creations of the witches consisting of any and all mythological creatures a person could think of. Over the years some of these creatures have crossed over in to Earth which gave rise to the tales of Elves, Dwarves, Faeries, Dragons and other creatures of myth and legend. Several fantastic locations exist within the Wyrd Woods. To name a few are the Crystalline Grove, the Gravity Falls, Elfhome, Spire of the Heavens and the Demons Gate. Crystalline Grove: A grove of trees composed of crystal somewhat akin to quartz. They radiate a strange magic and any creatures that make their home in the grove are said to take on the traits of the trees.Gravity Falls: Unnatural in form, the gravity falls actually flows up a mountain in the center of the...

Yigdraxalandrevna the All-Mother is a recursion within the body of a dead goddess of unknown origin. Her body washed up on the shoals of earth at an indeterminite time. Although she is inert, you can never truly destroy a god. Her body lives on and inside of it flourishes a culture of creatures composed of her internal antibodies and microbes. They reside in the city of Yig-Revna which is a bone-and-tissue effigy to her mighty presence. The primary inhabitants of the All-Mother are the Podchildren, who exist solely to maintain her internal organs, reviving dead tissue and replacing what cannot be healed. They are short creatures with an biometallic skin. They resemble human children and can be of several colors depending on their function. Red – Blood Cell White – Antibodies Blue – Tissue Repair Yellow – Infectors (Hostile) Black – Necrotic (Hostile) Several satellite outposts exist in key locations to protect and heal the All-Mother’s vital organs. The Reproduction Fields are the home of the Podchildren, there new Podlings are born and old Podlings go to die. The Caverns of Life serve as the hearts of the All-Mother. The Wailing Hive is her lungs while the Feeding Grounds serve as her stomach and the Void exists as a place to sent refuse, this area contains a direct connection to The Strange. Little is know about the true origin of the All-Mother but there is speculation that is an ancient cousin to Planetovores. Evidence exists that may link her lifetime to the beginnings of the strange but nothing substantial has been determined at this time. The...

Shattered Earth is a ruined wasteland caused by war between humans and an alien menace known only as The Swarm. Most survivors of the last war live in Old New York, a landscape of concrete and metal skeletons repurposed and rebuilt for survival. Most of the old buildings are now vertical farms and factories used to support the war effort. Every citizen has a number, rank and job assigned to them when they hit age 16. Most are drafted in to the Republic Armies and sent to the front lines to battle The Swarm. Before the third world war a race of alien beings known only as greys came to earth to give warning and prepare the human race for the coming conflict. The alien Swarm was a product of grey experimentation with human and grey DNA that got out of hand. With their home world overrun their only alternative was to seek refuge on earth. In exchange for alien technology and know-how the greys were given refuge. But even this could not prepare us for the coming tide of war. The swarm consisted of telepathically linked hybrid creatures, this link worked as a sort of hive mind, giving them a limitless potential for psionic power and higher thinking. The first wave of soldiers were humanoids with elongated features like greys. Their defeat caused a ripple of adaptation. Each subsequent attack was launched with a more efficient killing machine as the swarm began to learn our ways and adapt to our technology. In the current year the war has come to a halt unexpectedly. The last swarm...
