The World

You've nearly forgotten what it felt like to remember. The world you once knew lies far behind you, stretching for what seems to be lifetimes between there and here. But what is here? The electric blazing of cosmic bodies above, along with those far-reaching stars keeping their distant secrets, cast a gentle light on the planet before you. Can you even call it a planet? You may stand upon its rocky surface, feeling the cold of neglect and age on its rough surface, but who is to say what it is, or where? Not you. In lands like these, you've got a question for every mile you've covered, and no answers in sight.

Horizons takes place in an alternate dimension, similar but different from your own on planet Earth. In this universe, all organic beings have the ability to speak - whether they choose to is up to them, but all are capable of sentient thought, of choice, and all the emotions that complete the package. Both autonomous animals and growing plants wield strange and fantastic characteristics, both in appearance and physiology.

The scene is set with a planet, titanic in nature, but still mostly unexplored. Creatures live here, but keep to themselves; to the outsider, this place did not otherwise exist before now. This is where you can make your mark and test what you are truly made of.

All that is known can be summarily listed as follows.


 * The atmosphere of the planet has been shaped by significant cosmic events, affecting topography (land), meteorology (weather), and horology (time)
 * Consequently, land and weather conditions are markedly disparate from Earth's more often than not
 * Science and reason fail to explain much of this 'new world' as of yet, and only time will tell if they ever will
