The multiverse; a system overlapping and intersecting planes of existence. Where did it come from? None know for certain but some purport that the worlds began with an infinitesimal spark of existence in an infinite nothingness that grew into the first god, who forged the realms using the flames from the spark. Some believe this spark is still burning, ever growing. Many scholars claim to have found traces of an ancient message being sent through every plane regularly. Where this message is coming from is a curiosity to all, because it appears to originate from inside every plane, and outside of them all at the same time. Those who have attempted to brave the journey to the origin of this signal have found themself unsuccessful so far. All who have gotten close to the origin of the message have found themselves faced with a imposing luminescent tower. This tower occasionally disappears when not being observed, returning with dust on it that doesn't resemble that of its own environment.

A strange disease that gradually transforms the afflicted's bones into solid gold. Despite this they do not often suffer adverse effects from this disease until a few years after the blight has begun to spread through their body. Gilded Blight is most common amongst wizards, particularly those that practice Necromancy. How this disease spreads is unknown, but legends of its origins tell of an ancient king named Sudim who was driven made with the desire for wealth, going so far as to prolong his life so he may keep hold of his treasure. Soon enough simply having his hoard was not enough. He sought to become one with his hoard; gathering his hoard together he fused it to his soul into it, enriching his former body with gilded bones, ordained with massive gemstones, while cursing any who sought to steal from his hoard, to one day become one with it.

The weakened can be anyone who has lost hope, and has an immense desire for rescue or freedom, or someone who has been pushed to the point of loosing or almost loosing their connection to reality. Demons, Devils, Gods, Fey, powerful creatures and eldritch beings beyond description take advantage of this disconnection from reality to impress their will upon the weakened, sometimes without the target even consciously knowing. These beings often make offerings of the power to escape their figurative or literal shackles in exchange for something later on, often leaving what will be required vague or untold. Deals made in this manner often benefit the patron more than the weakened, requiring them to go to extreme lengths to fulfill their end of the bargain. Those who have been chosen by these beings often become renown, either for their generosity, or their cruelty. Some become great sages, known for their boundless wisdom, while others become religious leaders, or bring destruction to the world around them.
