Ayla Vhae

Intro Hubris is why the world fell. In the late 27th century the world rediscovered magic. Society’s greatest minds found ways to combine these arcane arts with their advanced technologies. But our ancestors did not understand the forces with which they toiled… Soon the world was wrought with chaos and unfettered destruction from the very forces they created, leaving the face of the world, and all its inhabitants changed forever… Humanity is gone but something else emerged from the rubble… What few remained gathered into five tribes: the Desert Tribe of the East that calls the scorching dunes and savanna their home, the Luminous Tribe of the West that settled in the vast forests full of bioluminescent flora and fauna, the Plains Tribe of the South that resides in the untouched plains at the basin of an ancient crater, and to the North the Tundra Tribe which got its name from the land with which it settled, and at the very top of the world the Frost Tribe that calls the frozen abyss home. Between these last remnants of society lays the Barren Wastes, the Barrens are the barren wastelands that’s stretch between, barely able to support even the smallest life… But deep in the Barrens also lay the Ruins of the Ancients, fragments of the the world from before the fall… Archives, bunkers, libraries, even labs… You are the heir to one of the Northern tribes and while out foraging with your hunting party you stumble onto a previously undiscovered ruin. Ruins that appear to be one of the ancient laboratories you’ve only heard of as stories as a child. Inside is filled with strange machines and these odd glass cylinders… Some of these cylinders have gone dark, but others are still lit, revealing their contents suspended in an odd orange fluid. Some contain strange creatures, others plants, and one an almost humanoid figure… This is Ayla. She was one of the many experiments created by the Ancients, but as the world fell, she was abandoned here, and long forgotten…
