Talinar – (A World of Fable)

 

A world set in smoldering sands and malevolent magic

 

The world of Talinar would never fully accept life; however, life was never told of this.  A being known to few gods and even fewer mortals Talinar removed itself from the multi-verse.  It has existed before some of the younger immortals.  The eons of solitude have driven the once keen and near omnipotent mind of Talinar insane.  Though it has little care or concerns for any life who now  inhabit it.  Talinar's fits of rage and joy over the eons have destroyed the once utopian landscape.  Pockets of primordial magic have been unleashed over its lifetime and scared both Talinar and those who now survive on it still.  These events however are far in the past when gods walk the beautiful shorelines and lush forest of Talinar as the Paradise it was.  The reality of today is far different.  Where great oceans once flowed deep salt flat remain, craters where lake once called home, and clay steeps are all that remain.  The forests are all but gone poisonous swamps filled with giant monstrous creatures dot the world in their place.
