Welcome to the Evereach!

Grab your rucksack and sword! And get ready to set sail for the endless horizon!

Welcome to The Evereach, a world of vast seas, ever expanding horizons, and endless
adventures.
The Evereach is an oceanic world created and expanded in the wake of The Maelstrom, a
colossal interplanar storm bringing The Calamity Event to countless worlds before depositing
their remains in The Evereach.
These deposits usually take the form of Islands, fragments of various worlds to be explored and
harvested for crucial resources and or possibly forgotten secrets. Or even for the people of The
Evereach to colonize.

This world is populated by the creatures and people from as many worlds as The Maelstrom has
torn through. Some come with the fragment of their world, others simply appear on existing
islands from The Maelstrom’s chaotic magic.

The world is divided into the four cardinal directions: The Northern Ice, The Eastern Sea, The
Southern Ice, and The Western Sea.

The Maelstrom is found to the west, and the closer you get to it the newer the islands are and
the seas get more chaotic and dangerous, but the ambient magic is also found to be stronger.
Reachfolk refer to the western part of their discovered world, The Western Sea. A border that
changes and is decided by The Council of Towers, a network of mages in traveling arcane
towers that they relocate to their island of interest. The only known location of any tower at any
given time is in The Eastern City, Solis.
The border is decided by where The Maelstrom’s magical influence is reduced to a set amount.
Marking the point to where the seas start to become exponentially more chaotic.

It is said that somewhere to the east is where The Maelstrom first began, but no one has found
it yet.
Otherwise The Eastern Sea is typically regarded as the safest sea because of the lack of chaotic
magic causing storms and other anomalies. The Eastern Sea has the most colonies as well as the
largest city in the world; The Sunrise City, Solis.
Solis is the largest and most prosperous civilization in the world. Many successful colonies were
instigated or funded by the city. The Sun Sails of Solis also serves as the largest alliance of ships
in the seas.
The City of Solis seems to have their hands in everything, sending out the most ships to
discover islands, the most people to harvest resources, and the most money to buy the resources
other settlements produce.
Solis is the creator of the world’s most recognised type of coin, and their outposts typically have
means of converting other types of coin found.
The types of coin they make are as follows; Strom [Platinum] , Sol [Gold] , Lun [Silver] , and Petia
[Copper].
Among traditional resources, Solis also pursues the greatest variety of research and offers the
most funding toward such endeavors if they think they will yield results.
Solis is also the only place most people know of to pursue an academic life, due to Solis’s
number of schools and their connection to The Council of Towers.
And lastly, most discovered riches find themselves sold to Solis, directly or through outposts,
and most valuables are bought through Solis as the middleman. Making the city and their
outposts the best place in the seas to procure hard to gain items and resources.
As well as they’re the only ports that maintain the Arcane Port network, a system of massive
portals meant for the teleportation of whole ships, greatly decreasing travel between discovered
islands at a very steep price.

To the north and south are The Northern and Southern Ice. Massive Glaciers that wall in The
Eversea. Within are great fragments cast off and frozen by The Maelstrom. No one knows if the
horizon of ice ever ends, and the few explorers that have returned say that the further you go,
the colder it gets.
Many companies specialize in purely harvesting and scavenging through the ice. There are even
entire settlements dedicated to ice harvest. Some are raft homes that float on the seas, or they
are a community of family owned ships that travel around to points of interest, and some build
straight on the ice, or even on the ice wall if it is stable enough.
 Newfolk and Reachfolk

People born on other worlds who are taken to The Evereach are called Newfolk by the
inhabitants of The Evereach. Typically Reachfolk, natives, tend to regard them as naive or
somehow inferior to those who were born and raised in The Evereach. They typically don’t like
folks who insult The Evereach, earning for their own homes.
While the circumstances and worlds of origin change between Newfolk, they all have one thing
roughly in common; No Newfolk can fully recall memories of their old world. Usually their
dreams are of places they do not know, but find familiar. These are assumed to be the memories
of where they come from.

People born and raised in The Evereach are known as Reachfolk, they’re usually better suited to
the world and are a strong people, physically and mentally. Most Reachfolk do not believe in
gods, and most believe that gods die with their world.
Reachfolk take adversity in stride and nearly all yearn to make a stable home for themselves.

In this campaign, you’ll choose if your character is Reachfolk or Newfolk, and get a free unique
