The Vanishing Lands

The Vanishing Lands have not always been here. Less than a century ago, beings of several different planes of existence suddenly found themselves (and the land on which they lived) instantly transported through time and space to come to rest on a new, previously uninhabited plane - an occurrence that became known as The Appearance. 

As far as anyone can tell, the entire plane is  covered by the Great Sea, a vast ocean continuing forever in each direction. Orphaned lands from the far reaches of time and space dot the Great Sea, and some have come and gone again within recent memory. 

The first fifty years was a golden age for those of strong enough will and hardy enough stock to explore this new home. Most of the time has been peaceful, with everyone dealing with their new reality at the same time.

But there are always those people.

It soon became clear to some of the more ambitious new inhabitants of The Vanishing Lands that there are fortunes to make and lands to claim. These operators are further emboldened by the inherently connected nature of spirit and magic of this plane, which most people had not experienced in their former homes, and which has created a new source of power and control for those who seek such things. 

This new strife leaves plenty of room for heroes. Rich patrons need bodyguards, cartographers need guides, and frontiers need to be explored.  It can be a punishing, confusing place to live, but those who can tame the wilds can become true legends of this new world.

What will your legacy be? How far will you go to be a hero?

The Vanishing Lands is: 

• A roleplaying game about being a hero. You decide what is important to you, and how hard you will fight to achieve it.
• A game setting where anything is possible. From prehistoric tools to frighteningly advanced futuristic technologies and mysterious arcane energies, you can create and mix it all however you want.
• A tool set for creating the game you want to play. Creation tools for characters, monsters, and even entire cities allow you to spend less time writing and more time adventuring.
