  This is an apocalyptic plot based on fantasy. Basically, major natural events are breaking apart the whole world named Waskon and all races are united in order to overcome this by providing shelters to everyone. However, there are only a few people left because a major part of the population already died. An artifact can stop the cataclysm, but it needs to be put on a pedestal in an unstable zone called the center.

  The Last Army contained different personalities and races from different kingdoms. For most, they’re the bravest one of their clans who proved themselves during the first act of the collision, but some of them are volunteers or souls saved from torn cities. One thing was sure : they will have to remain strong and calm if they don't want to succumb to this nightmare. The first people of The Last Army were a group of survivors from different regions who came through altogether and decided to name their group based on war, but they're not following any rulers. They soon put their feet on a large part of the world and their numbers keep growing, rescuing the last remnants of all races. They're known by the whole world of Waskon, and the last cities standing will help them with everything they can. They're actually carrying a map to follow although they still have to choose on where to go. The Last Army is armed and possesses what it takes to survive. They found about the artifact a few weeks after the start of The Collision inside an ancient book deciphered by a wise person, but the reason about how it starts remained a mystery.
• It all started with an increase in heat and fire spreading across the forest, killing most of the elves shelters. Although most races were at war, they set their tantrum away and started on focusing to rescue those in needs by taking care of them in their villages, cities, and capitals. It wasn’t easy, but the numbers of death were so high that it was impossible to let them suffer from such atrocity. To make things even harder, heavy thunders broke a large part of the west, which make life impossible back there. A few survivors from the west made it back to the civilization, traumatized from all they have lost. And if it wasn't bad enough, the beasts became furious and fled from their home which was far away from civilization and started spreading across the remaining cities. They had to focused on preparing their defenses while saving the wounded from the collision.
  Right now, the weather is shifting dramatically making the heat way more supportable. However, it is speculated that winter is coming way sooner.
• Magic does exist in the world of Waskon, although the sorcerer and wizard are rare. That's because many people believe it's best to only use a tiny part rather than relying on it entirely, but some had accomplished it.
  All races are capable to learn it, but it does require a lot of work and sometimes pain to go through. There are limitations to all abilities, and it isn't recommended to use it for too long with strong output. Also, once your ability is worked on, it's impossible to get another one. However, you're not stuck with it forever but a new main power required the previous one to be entirely erased and you would need to start from zero, which why many keep their ability.
  Those who hold strong magical abilities may have lost something, with the example of Abimael Lazarus losing both his eyes and a bit of sanity along. However, there are a few exceptions where species are entirely based on magic and have to use it because they're physically too weak to fight with a weapon. Fairies are an example. They have accommodated with their genes over the generations and has fewer drawbacks than others race while using it.
  
• 
  Gunpowder is a thing, but it's still avoided by some races considering it evil. Dwarves, humans and some others races started using it a few years ago so it still needs improvements. With the help of the most skillful engineers still alive, there are automatons wandering around the remaining cities working instead of the people who can focus on helping others by providing more help with the nursing home. Automatons are all different and have different goals based on their programs. They can be light or heavy, short or huge.

  Waskon is a large world featuring a multitude of races and places. The west was the most peaceful place with non-dangerous species and creatures. The north had many coveted places, but with dangerous races and beasts wandering around. It had many adventurers despite the risk. The south was more balanced and contained many capitals, such as the dwarves, humans, elves and other races despite the constant war between them. The east was a desolate place avoided by everyone and contained the thieves and monsters who wanted to avoid any interactions after all the horrific things they had done. It also contained the exile.

• Hollows
• Grimbears

• 
  Hollows and Where to Find Them
  Description: Hollows are often identified by their white eyes, devoid of emotions other than absolute madness or anger. They vary from tall to short, but often have longer limbs and athletic bodies.
  
  Location: The darkest parts of any forest are aften home to unknown creautures, but hollows take the prize for the worst of them. They are fueled by the forest, and are tireless and merciless hunters.
  
  Advice: Stay far far away from a hollow. If one is following you, either hire as many of the best trained bodyguards as possible or accept your death.
• 
  Grimbears and Where to Find Them
  Description: A full grown grimbear has the appearance of a massive bear. They range from the smallest being 6’ and the largest standing at 10’. Babies are the size of cats, while their teen years have them grown between the size of a hound and a horse. Grimbears have fur ranging from pale white, grey, or brown and black. They are fierce protectors, and bond easily if you have enough food. These creatures are savage and fierce, their elongated claws and teeth able to tear through most armor. It takes the strength of ten men to take down the fiercest grimbear.
  
  Location: They are not as rare as you would think, but are found only in two places. The elf-haven to the south and the icy peaks of the wild to the north.
  
  Advice: If you see one unbonded, befriend it! They are indeed social creatures, and are not against sharing space with a partner. Beware of mother grimbears and cubs, as much like regular bears they will attack without hesitation. If you are found facing and angry grimbear, run. You will most definitely not be able to outrun it, but you have a sliver more of a chance than if you fight alone.
