This small collection of short stories takes place in a world not unlike our own, but different in so many ways. These six standalone stories are a hint at things to come for this world where hope burns bright.Welcome to Aearth
Aearth was once a place of magic and wonder. A world where the gods were said to walk among its people and gift champions with great power. Aearth, once so powerful and grand, fell to the Great War over two-thousand years ago.
When the Gods created Aearth, they gave a country to each of their races. The forest of the north to the elves and fawn folk. The mountains to the dwarves and small people. The desert was given to those brave enough to survive in the monsterkin. The southern jungle was gifted to the elementals. While the plains and swamps were given to those that would live close to nature. The central plains were gifted to humanity.
Humanity quickly out grew its borders and so started the Human Expansion. A dark power promised humanity the world, and they were out to take it.
When the Great War broke out, the gods saw fit to intercede. Their Chosen were Marked and given gifts no other mortal processed along with the weapons to fight the armies of undead humanity created to fight their war. A group of heroes meant to unite and bind the world with them. A task they never completed. They failed.
The world of Aearth Broke. Magic broke the world apart at the seams. The gods saved their people and their world, piecing it back together. They took magic from mortals, infusing it into Aearth to hold it together.
The gods left their people to survive without magic, in a world that is starved for it.
Two thousand years later, the cracks in the world are widening. Magic is leaking into reality.
Aearth and its stories are inspired by a private Fantasy 5e Homebrew
