Literally the worst
"March 15th, 2017, the day the Rift opened and everything changed.
It had seemed like a normal day at first, but then the sky split with a horrible, gut-wrenching shattering sound. Then came the tremors, like the Earth itself was crying out at what was happening to it. Buildings began to topple and people screamed, it seemed like it would never end, and then it did. It all ended as if it had never happened, as if it was all a dream and the world was right. But it wasn't. They were here now. People and creatures that shouldn't exist but did. If there was any consolation it was that they seemed just as shocked and confused as we were.
In the following days we realized that we couldn't leave, not with the fog surrounding the city. Some tried anyways but they always ended up coming back, swearing that they'd never turned around. Eventually we stopped trying. That's when the real fear set in and the protests and riots began in earnest. There were those who blamed the people who had come through, some who feared the newcomers and what they could do, others who wanted to go home, and still others who didn't know what to think and simply lashed out in their panic.
Eventually, people began to realize that we were all in this together, like it or not, and we began to learn about each other. It was a long process putting aside the fear but we did it, or at least most of us did. In return we learned from each other. They taught us magic, a power we'd only ever seen in fiction and our imaginations. We taught them about the strange world they now found themselves in. Though this, we began to learn how to live together and we began to rebuild.
It's been 25 years since the Rift opened and everything changed. It's been rough, and we haven't figured everything out yet, but we've come a long ways and I think we'll go further yet."

What Came Through the Rift is set in the city of Edgewater, situated on the banks of Lake Felburn and the Dunmark River in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. 25 years ago a Rift opened over the city, shrouding it in a fog that made it impossible to leave and connecting the city to another world. Through this rift came people of many races, forcibly plucked from the world they knew, and magic. Since then, the original residents and the newcomers have had to learn to coexist, a struggle that is yet ongoing, while being almost entirely cut off from the outside world.
Some things of note:
- While there will be established lore for you to use, please don't hesitate to come up with suggestions for new things, whatever they may be. I want you as players to be able to build off the foundation that I've established, so if you have new races, factions, locations, or anything else don't hesitate to let me know, either via DM or in the general OOC.
- Magic, while prominent within the RP, is not all-powerful. It's simply a tool for characters to use to achieve their goals. Furthermore, I've left it intentionally fairly open-ended so that you have freedom to make it your own. However, I do ask that you be reasonable, and keep in mind your character's abilities.
