And so it begins ...

The old tales tell of Karsus’ Folly. In the year of Sundered Webs, it is said, the Netherese archwizard Karsus foolishly attempted to wrest the power of the goddess Mystryl away for himself. In the aftermath, the Weave unraveled. The stories tell of the flying cities of Netheril crashng to the ground, the end of Netheril. But in truth, the bright, shining objects crashing to the ground were not flying cities and they did not belong to the Realm of Netheril. The Rain of Stars was the aftermath of a large scale campaign waged by several space faring species that had taken place in space above the planet Aber-Toril. Many warships had been destroyed in the battle, dozens of starships had been destroyed, their wrecks came crashing to ground. There were a few survivors and the realms that rose in the wake of the fall of Netheril were supported by the aliens exiled by the events of that forgotten war. Over the centuries, there have been some visits by scouts from the spacefaring races, but by and large, they have remained unseen.

In the year of Shadows, a rain of fire brought new visitors. There has been activity around many of the sites where stars had fallen so many years before. Many fear a new danger is searching to unearth ancient beings and power. Will the people of the Realms be equal to the old terrors rising?
