Going to try my hand at a story thread, after a great read in Legends for my new world. How do these usually go?
World: Sil Tholest, the Plane of Cyclones
Backdrop: In the year 9, Vucar Faithfulpage became the Queen of Dalkamreg, The Lean Glove. Her reign was was but 4 years. In the winter of the year 13, Queen Vucar was kidnapped and imprisoned by Sath Murkumbras, a male twilight freak. One of the first of his kind, Sath Murkumbras was a large, eyeless humanoid with gray, waxy skin and three short tails. He is why you fear the night. That winter, Sath transformed the Queen of the Lean Glove into a twilight freak mate. Her once beautiful aquamarine eyes fell out. Her peach colored skin turned waxy. She gave birth to Sath Murkumbras's first son, Nidela Shadeash, the Tomb of Ghosts. Seizing upon an opportunity, Vucar fled Sath's imprisonment in the year 15, and tried to return home to Dalkamreg. She was spurned, and for good reason. The evil of the twilight freaks suffused her very being. The bloodlust made it difficult for to be near other living things. She roamed the land far and wide, her monstrous form and twisted soul guaranteeing a steady supply of enemies.
In the year 241, she was spotted in the Glowing Hills, perilously close to Dalkamreg. The hills have been more and more dangerous these past years, kings and queens coming and going on a yearly basis. Still, Vucar has never attacked Dalkamreg. And the goblins in the area have been suspiciously inactive, an occasional torn limb or worn skeleton being the only sign of them. The Queen of Dalkamreg, Olin Netchucked, has decided this matter is worth investigating. If the old Queen is out there, and if she is willing to aid Dalkamreg keep the other beasts at bay...
In the first part of the year 251, Ivy Zutashnil sets out at the head of an expedition, The Silvery Glimmer of Dawn, to forge a facility in the hills and try to make contact with Dalkemreg's fallen Queen. They will need to create a facility that is secure from the outside, to keep the many dangerous beasts of the area out, but also one that is safe from the inside, in case there truly is no hope for Dalkamreg's fallen Queen.

This game will be played using Lazy Newb pack, for obvious reasons relating to my laziness and newbosity.
I have turned cave-ins and aquifers OFF. Everything else is ON. I will be using Ironhand's wonderful graphics pack.
Tomorrow, we Strike the Earth!
