TU SHANSHU ( a world between Life, Dreaming and Death )
For eons beyond memory...
The Great Turtles formed the lands of the world and gave rise to a powerful and advanced civilization that flourished across the three realms of Life, Death and Dreaming. However this world fell out of balance due to the influence of Malicant, the Dark Enemy until the very Planes themselves fractured and seven hundred years ago, the world was plunged into a shadow. War ravaged the land, decimation lanced across peoples and races and creeds, inexorable... until everything ground to a sudden, bloody halt. Tu Vishan, now known to the people of Keeliai as 'Asti', was one of two great turtles to survive the calamity, and he did what has not been done for millions of years. He freed himself, and he swam. In the years since, he has not stopped.
He is now a beacon, a refuge. A testament to the strength of will that all creatures exert to survive. And on his back is the only city left in on the planet that's free of the dark influence of Malicant, a being so terrible that some have already given the cause of fighting it for lost. The Emperor Eshai, who had reigned in Keeliai for as long as Asti has swam, tried at first to summon heroes to her cause. Her first attempt failed. Instead, she brought the kedan into Konryu: a fierce and warlike species from a dying planet, the improper use of her magics damaged them and made them what they are today. Her second attempt brought heroes true enough but they were lost when Sinbrilee, Asti's sister and the only other surviving turtle, died and sank to the ocean floor.
Keeliai straddles the three realms of Life, Death and Dreaming. Now revealed to be literal places, Keeliai exists in the plane of 'Life', and Death is currently ruled by Malicant's iron fist. Now Eshai is dead and Evandau, the Alderwood Emperor, rules upon the Turtle even as Malicant controls the Palace of the Landed Sky, putting the summoned Foreigners in jeopardy and threatening the very existence of the last Life stronghold of the world. If Tu Vishan falls, Malicant's poison will move onto other worlds and bring them likewise low. You are here to fight a war. Just possibly, you are here to bear witness to the end of the universe. Perhaps you'll get a chance to be a hero or perhaps you'll die trying. What happens next is up to you.
