You wake up to find yourself lying on a large hill. How did you get here? Not knowing the answer, you stand up to try and get your bearings. Where are you? Your eyes trail across the unfamiliar landscape, across the trees that surround you to unknown ruins and mountains in the distance, and then up to the dome that covers the sky. Wait, dome? You realize you have no way of knowing that, and yet you do; this place is encased in some kind of magic field shaped like a massive dome. While you ponder how you know such a thing, more things that you don't know start to come to mind; Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you the only one here? And what are these things in your possession? One thing you do know for sure is that you're going to have to work out the answers yourself while you try to survive. It doesn't look like anyone else is going to help you any time soon.

Yes you read that right, in this story your character is an amnesiac with no idea where they are with only a few possessions to their name. I thought it would be an interesting concept to have a story where basically every character is pretty much starting from scratch in a survival situation. With that in mind, only one part of the map is marked off at the start; the place where all your characters will be waking up. Over time this map can change as your characters explore and attribute names and maybe even create places of their own. This is a story that will be driven first and foremost by the characters, so it will be almost entirely up to them to decide what the big goal of this story is and what alliances they may or may not make. My role here is strictly as a dm, I will not have any PCs of my own but will instead dictate things going on in the environment such as weather, encounters, and other story elements like that to help guide your characters along to either finding out what is going on or to a path of misery depending on what happens. It should be noted that this isn't an island! The "ocean" on the map is merely the unknown landscape beyond the dome that can not be seen!
Now what do I mean by 'low magic'? Simply that magic is not very easily accessible to player characters, no one will have the ability to freely cast any spells or incantations, humans are the only race, and there aren't just magic items laying around willy-nilly. That being said, characters will have the option to start with a single magic item with limited uses. All magic items in the game have limited uses ranging from just one to five, with one use items being the strongest and most powerful and five use items being the weakest. Hopefully this way things will be more balanced and interesting; however this is my first time starting such an rp and trying such a system so if it turns out to not be fun this may be subject to change! More about magic items and how they work will be explained in the lore page!

Introduction
Yes you read that right, in this story your character is an amnesiac with no idea where they are with only a few possessions to their name.

How to Play
Firstly you'll need to go into the Character Waiting Room and fill out a character sheet as instructed, then once your character has been improved you may feel free to make your entry post! It should be noted that unless something big happens, all new characters will wake up ontop of the giant hill that is the starting point. Be sure to put the name of your character at the top of your posts and to @ anyone you interact with! As for formatting, that's entirely up to you. I will not regulate how you rp whether it be long posts, short posts, first person or third. Just be kind and polite OOCly to your fellow players and remember, while your character is the protagonist to their story, they are the background character to someone else's, or even the antagonist!
I look forward to seeing how this all plays out! If there's any questions or anything you feel you want to suggest, either send me a message or hit me up in the OOC room!
