Earth has been without magic for eons. This was not always the case. Once it was filled with mythological creatures and wonder. Two thousand years ago the mythical races were in dire peril. War with the humans, and thier common enemy the dark races pushed them to the brink of extinction. Out of desperation they used potent magic granted by the creator to separate the world into two realms. One for most of the humans, others for the mythical races, separated by a dimensional wall. The humans Earth remained round, but smaller. Its dimensional counterpart. While unseen remained magically connected to its other half.

It was called Mystria. Half of this place is made of the lands granted to the myth races. The other half is called the dark lands. Land connected to the Earth it was once a part of. It's a land filled with the echos of the world they left behind. Mirage like images of the cities and places of Earth. Seen, sometimes faintly heard, but cannot be touched or interacted with. Venturing into these lands is dangerous, as it has driven many mad. Few dare to brave these lands anymore. It is rumored that the portals that linked the world long ago were hidden there. Long ago these portals were used by designated ambassadors in an attempt to repair relations with the humans and make thier torn world whole once more. Alas the dark ages of man defeated thier efforts. Many who went never returned. It has been hundreds of years since any have tried

Now a strange storm springs up on Earth during a summer camp. Several teens and/or camp counselors are stranded on a lake during a canoe trip. The strange storm opens a portal that sucks them in. Once on the other side they are pulled into an unexpected adventure. An adventure with a dangerous secret, can these brave few find the old races and help mend the rift of worlds before it's too late?

Dwarves are on average four and a half feet tall. They are stocky and muscular, deep chested and heavier than they look. They are also faster and stronger than they look with great endurance. Most can read stone, tell locations of living things by listening to the ground, see In almost complete darkness, and unrivaled miners, stone farmers, and Smith's. They are rather secretive and distrustful of strangers. However if you do earn thier Friendship and trust you will have no greater loyal friend.

Dwarves in this Rp all have Curly hair and the men all grow beards starting as boys. The women are apple cheeked and even considered attractive. Two thousand years ago the dwarves became highly isolated. They have not been seen by most other races since. Some of the younger members of other races doubt thier existence.

Stone mages have great power and are connected to the Earth itself. They live even longer than normal dwarves, some say as long as elves, but as most die in battle this has never been proven.
