Ballerium is a vast world with one single sun always shining above it and providing the energy anf light for life. This sun goes through a never-ending cycle of color-changes, known as phases.
Seven sentient races populate the world, and live together in the cities dotting the landscape. Each race is connected with one color of the sun and prefers that color above all. Lately, a number of anomalies have appeared on the surface of the sun, and many believe that the end of the world is near. Thus, all of Ballerium's inhabitants wish to escape to other worlds, through the use of dimensional gates. Others see the gates themselves as the real threat, as they seem to be connected with the dreaded Shard-Rifts (dimensional rifts between Ballerium and other planes of existence, pouring forth horrid monsters into the land). There are yet others who care for nothing but exploiting the situation to amass power and wealth.
Ballerium is now a torn and fragmented world where might makes right, and the inhabitants of the once-safe cities now turn to roaming bands of soldiers and warriors to help them protect themselves against marauding monsters and raiders, and crumbling political institutions try to enlist these same bands to their cause be it what it may.
