It was an older world, where few resources remained. Beyond solar and geothermal, there was no source of energy. The power dependent civilization was threatened. Then scientists discovered what they thought was a new energy source. They began a research program that would free the power that bound the universe itself together, what we would call a sort of cold fusion on a cosmic scale. Tremendous amounts of power were needed to open a small window to this new power source. The resulting explosion destroyed the planet's third largest city. The next attempt to tap this power source was located on Delos' lone moon. It was connected to the planet by a massive beam that was one of the society's greatest, and last, achievements which was capable of delivering to Delos enough energy to supply the entire planet's need three times over. When this beam hit the planet it was to be controlled and converted to usable energy by a Quantum Tap. This tap appeared to be a large, faceted jewel whose facets glowed red, blue, and green and was quickly dubbed the "sunstone" by the media. Unknown to the researchers was that the fundamental truth that the universe is not bound together by some abstract energy source. It is joined together by a force that doesn't obey the laws of nature. What else could control and bind the laws together but something beyond them? This force had occasionally leaked through on other occasions and there was even a name for it: magic. The beam that still showers Delos in magic was many times more powerful than expected. The Quantum Tap was shattered by the sheer mass of the magical energy cascading through it. For a brief moment it held, then shattered and doing so reflected a large portion of the magical beam back at its source. When the breach occurred, raw magic poured out and the sun seemed to shatter into three magically charged glowing orbs. Even as the sun split, it showered Delos with gemstone shaped charges of crystallized magic. The very nature of the world changed. Continents shifted in hours and crashed together in a single mass that centered on Delos' equator then split apart again. Unknown for a millenium an evil entity, spawned or trapped amid the magic also came through the crack in the wall of the universe. This entity is known only as the Laria. The Laria is a personification of the evil potential in magic. Instantly it was able to take man's darkest nightmares and have them appear as an array of deadly monsters. Once these creatures take physical shape, they can be destroyed. Some are defeated more easily than others, but so long as the Laria lives on this plane, the plague of horrors will continue to regenerate. A few key "laws" of physics ceased to operate, bringing technology to a crashing halt. Without electricity or mass transit, the cities were abandoned. Without certain combustion processes, nitrate-based explosives were useless. Monsters thought to exist only in the grimmest fairy tales and myths ravaged the shocked survivors. The very land itself changed with dangerous regularity. Where a mountain had stood yesterday might now be a swamp. A once safe land to cross might find a dragon infested forest had risen up in its midst. Within a few generations, the population had diminished to just a few struggling outposts scratching a dangerous living from a world they no longer were lords of. However, after a few generations of breeding amid the flow of magic, some men found that with practice they could cast spells. And their magic gave them the means to reclaim their world. As the age of technology ended, the era of Magic began. Over the next five millennia magical civilizations rose and fell leaving behind strange and wonderful treasures and terrible dangers. The first grew strong with the exuberance of newfound magical power. In ten cities whose enchanted towers rose into the clouds and where food was magically transmuted from weeds and gold from dirt, the wizard lords who ruled would, and did dare anything. Spells acquired increasing power until one spell triggered a chain reaction that destroyed the cities, the towers, and everyone in them. Of the first Great Age, only haunted ruins filled with magical menaces and traps remained. Where the Shards of the original Quantum Tap were once magically held apart, they can now be reassembled. This will allow access to through the gates that the Laria hides behind. If the Laria can be slain then evil will stop regenerating and mankind has a chance at reclaiming the world. Scholars have discovered this fact and have begun looking for a hero to bring the Sun Shards together. A hero is needed as each stone, by its magical nature sits in a location of the greatest magic, and hence danger. Further the stone must be reassembled in the place where the beams still concentrate on Delos, the unexplored center of the Valley of Dragons that shelters the Gateway to the Castle of the Laria. Once there, only the most intrepid heroes will have the opportunity to battle through the most powerful monsters and finally face the Laria in magical and physical combat. Victory will finally allow mankind a chance to reclaim Delos. Enter a world comprised of more than 700 maps, 300 spells, 100 monsters and 100 of NPCs.
