WHAT
SURVIVED
The Great Erasure took the worlds and left the art behind.Every Xara is a fragment of something that used to be whole, and every collector recovers a little more of it.
The world was not created, it was remembered.
Before the first block was mined, there was Xara.
Entire worlds disappeared, cities became dust, names vanished from history.
Only one thing survived.
Art.
Every drawing, mask and strange little character that had ever been made became a fragment drifting through the void, until the fragments found each other.
FOUR REALMS
The Void
The place between worlds, where time has no meaning and the oldest Xarans keep the truth hidden.
This is where most of the story still sits, unread.
The Garden
Built entirely from imagination, home to dreamers.
The Machine
Every action has a purpose, and emotion isn't one.
The Unknown
Nobody has mapped it. Those who return from it are never quite the same again.
