The Mirrored Realm or Middle Realm, the realm at the heart of the multiverse.

Torn asunder by ancient magic the Mirrored Realm sits as a nexus within the multiverse, a central point through which all paths cross.

A fantasy world of high magic and mystical beasts that millennia ago was ripped apart by the uncontrolled use of an ancient magic. The magic itself shattering the fabric of space and laying open to the unsuspecting traveler the infinite possibilities of the multiverse.

In essence the Mirrored Realm is plagued with countless invisible portals, each linking the Mirrored Realm with another realm within the multiverse. These portals or worm holes are known as ‘The Elder Pathways’ and exist throughout the realm, many have been discovered and their paths well mapped. Yet the vast majority remain completely unknown, save for the accidental and hapless traveller or through the magical scrying of the scholarly and wise.

The Mirrored Realm is scared by the events of the past, lost now the true origins of the realms ancient turmoil. The Creation Myths and legends of the many races are the only clues to the disasters of the past, telling tales of vast flying cities and the great fires and floods of the coming of the Dragons.

Long has it been since the Great Evil was imprisoned beneath the earth, yet the titanic battle between good and evil rages still only now in the subtler ways. Dark forces still at large whisper corruption into the minds of the weak, turning their path and guiding their ways into shadow.

All the while, oblivious to the fortunes of the greater heroes locked in combat for the very essence of the realm, the old enemies of Goblins and Orcs trade freely among the peoples of the world. A level of peace reigns throughout the Elder Lands whilst within the Human Kingdoms annexed to the south, violence and hostility still nurture the darker nature allowing the dark powers to regain their strength.
