The story you are about to read takes place on a world far-flung in the universe, an unusual realm not round like a sphere. It is a flat world, like a planet-sized island floating through space. On its top is an ocean with great continents strewn across, the water of this ocean is mostly kept in with a ring of tremendous mountain ranges that span the rim of the planetary island, colossal waterfalls going through the spaces of these mountains and falling into the void below. It is not a thin isle but a thick mass of earth, the roots of the world hanging down like titanic upside-down mountains.

This realm is known as Fiahn. On this world live humans, dwarves, elves, ogres, and many other odd races. It is a world of magic and mystery that still recovers from deep wounds of the past, many kingdoms have fallen with new ones rising to take their place. Fiahn is in the midst of a new age, one of exploration and countries making new ties. An age where new heroes are rising and will influence the world, for good or for ill.

This story begins not with the lands on Fiahn’s surface though, it instead begins deep underground within a great realm that is a almost a whole world to its own: the Underworld.

“Our world of Fiahn is still full of untapped discoveries! We must seek it out and I will not let old superstitions about ancient spirits, underground beasts, and a flat world stop me! Fear of the unknown is a weakness I will deft, I will chart all of this world or my middle name is ‘Wandering Idiot’!”

- The famed traveler and sailor Ardjulus “Wandering Idiot” Azimuth before he began his voyage around Fiahn, which he intended to prove was round like a sphere. After several smooth days of sailing, he sailed right off the edge of the world and was never seen again. Despite his reckless and hardheaded nature, he was still hailed as a great adventurer and decades later has helped inspire others in exploring unknown areas of Fiahn.
