The Stellar Crown goes by many names. It is a structure so huge that if we were to make a map of it the surface of earth would be barely a dot. However we can gleam a few facts from what can be observed on its surface. Firstly many civilisations appear and fall in short periods of time, often to face similar challenges or threats, as though they are experiments or tests. Secondly we see such wild variety of species and creatures, similarly to some form of intergalactic zoo. Finally the controller of this world, worshipped by many as GOD is known by some to have the full name of 'General Operations Director' and is clearly not a divine being from another plane but appears to be, what we would call, a Sentient Computer. The occupants of the Stellar Crown know none of this. While they are all at different stages of evolution: some yet to evolve sentience, some on the cusp of discovering fire and others fashioning guns and magnificent flying ships, none of them have the understanding to know that this creature is anything but a god. Many of this structures inhabitants do not even know it exists and of those that do most only believe it does as it hides its presence well. You may wonder why I told you about the incredibly sci-fi setting as we are to start a fantasy RP but it is important to know. The magic and other such elements are secret usages of technology. Some may give the user the ability to manipulate the world through nano technology. Others may provide the ability to direct internal reflectors to focus heat onto a certain point. Those who think themselves psychic are merely able to access surface level results of the computers prediction algorithm and so on and so forth. Remember this going in. Nothing is impossible but its limitations and applications are invisible, unpredictable and unfathomable. Welcome to the next great Experiment being designed by GOD, struggle or survive against a dangerous fantastical environment and prepare for what is to come. You were not the first such experiment to take place on this continent and you will be lucky not to be the last, for only if you complete what is to come well will you be deigned interesting enough to allow to survive.

Now that I have explained what the world of The Stellar Crown and the GODs eye view (get it :|) of our world, lets tell the story from your perspective. From the leader of your people.
How did you get here? In a strange land under a strange sky? Perhaps you remember another past. In a distant land and different land when suddenly you were blinded by a light that made you sleepy, the next you remember is awaking with some of your kin on a distant shore. Perhaps you had no past. You remember darkness, then light, and woven through it all are the sounds of bubbling, hissing and the incessant whirring and then you opened your eyes on a new shore surrounded by others like you. But now you are here. Behind you is the sea. Barren and empty were it not for the small islands dotting near your new home. Before you is your new home, to the left and right golden sandy beach, ahead thick pine forest and in the distance, peaking through some of the branches, is a great rocky spire. You don't know what any of this means. You are sure your faith and your determination will allow you to survive the horrors ahead as you hear a demon screech deep inland and set to work. Helpfully provided for you are building materials. Not new and strange materials but ones that feel... appropriate to your people. They are certainly not infinite but they are enough to set up a modest settlement for your people. You also find a small number of tools and weapons that feel fitting for how you would fight. You also see another object, far more curious then anything else. It looks strange. It feels strange. It is strange. Despite being unlike anything you know or feel as... right, It almost reminds you of the powerful artefacts of old, whatever or whenever that is or was. Those used by the great wizards and conjurers. Some may find more on the beach with them and others possibly less. But this is all you are supplied with and with it you must provide a future for your people against this dark and evil place.

This is our setting. If you are interested, hurrah! If you feel like you would be interested but this is a little too sci-fi for you, despite that fact 90% of the action and interaction will be very fantasy/medieval in nature, then I would advise checking out Beckoncall's Colonisation RP, Lost Continent: Flight from Muurdaan
