Join The Explorers Guild . . .
In Character Info
From our ancient past to our uncertain future, history is a continuity that can only be understood as a whole. We are explorers, hunters, conservationists–we dig through ruins for secrets lost to time, study the flora and fauna of the present, and use our knowledge to pathfind our way forward. It’s a brave new world, after all. Someone has to map it out!

Story So Far
In the new world of Attlan, the explorers encountered a mysterious force that overtook their creatures, mind and body, turning them inexplicably hostile–and people were not immune either, as this strange contagion infected the minds of several REC members. Those effected fell into fits of paranoia and aggression, they wrote strange symbols and felt themselves compelled to follow urges of unknown origin. Eventually, enterprising members of the guild traced this force to its source: an ancient magical defense system called AEGIS, malfunctioning after eons of neglect.
Against all odds, this now-refurbished system has become the REC’s friend and ally, and not a moment too soon, as these new lands are rife with other dangers. Chief among these are the Constructs, relentless mechanical beasts that seek to turn all life into cold alloy (and the sworn enemy of AEGIS), and the Alvunids, psychic horrors of amalgamated flesh that consume all they encounter. What both enemies share is the ability to punch holes between worlds, so unless they’re beaten back, no one is safe.

Story So Far
Arriving in the new world of Attlan after the cataclysmic end of Atta – the distinguished members of the University began to turn its sights onto researching and understanding this new world of theirs; after a portal was opened up into a mysterious golden land they came face to face with a new threat.
Mechanical creatures which could spread a potent disease known by some as ‘Clockwork Disease’ and others as ‘Mechanthropy’; which spread upon them and their creatures like a curse. While lethal to all known creatures there appeared to be a single exception. Our survivors from Atta rather then perish and convert seemed to merge with the curse until death without the curse fully corrupting them.
The Construct Threat culminated with the Construct creatures managing to set up a new ‘Forge’ on the Volcano of Attlan – where they began to make stable constructs that could live more fully on Attlan and provide a serious and existential threat. The combined forces of the University and peoples of Attlan lead an assault on the Volcano and fought their way to the core of the Forge where they interfaced with a form of Artificial Intelligence that spoke of their goal and their ancient enemy the ‘Alvunids’. Seeing no way to render the forge inoperable in a manner that didn’t leave it a threat; a vote was held and eventually the Volcano was allowed to reclaim the area with the destruction of the forge.
When the University and others of Attlan followed the call of action from Terras’ Collective, they once again found themselves in a new land; beset upon by new challenges. Most namely: The Rats.
At first, they were considered merely an annoyance but they eventually grew into a major threat after they began attacking settlements and started creating ritual sites across the lands which culminated in a ritual that allowed them to summon a creature of flesh capable of tunneling into and forcing a portal connection to some sort of ‘Flesh Biome’.
From this biome, the Alvunids spread through the desert and even began to replace individuals with what were called ‘Infiltrators’. Dreadful, humanoid creatures that seemed to have all the same emotions, memories, and mannerisms as those who were replaced.
After fighting back the Alvunids for a time; they launched a surprise attack on the University sub-dimension. Trying to steal items and research and cripple things like the University Reactor and the REC Aegis orb.
But thanks to the valiant defense and counterattack; the University and residents of Terras were able to attack the Alvunid Biome, a Forward Operating Base for the Alvunid Infiltrators, Rescue the captured people – and then destroy what seemed to be the Hive Lord which was stabilizing the Alvunids Hive.
