For two thousand years, humanity has lived behind the Wall.

Beyond it, they were told, lies nothing but death.

Poisoned lands. Terrible creatures. A world no human could survive.

Nobody remembers who built the Wall.

Nobody remembers why.

And nobody has ever seen the other side.

Until today.

The gates opened.

And beyond them stood an entire civilization.

✦ THE WORLD OUTSIDE ✦

Humanity’s homeland is an enormous walled territory containing cities, kingdoms, farmland, armies, and generations of people who have never known anything beyond its borders.

Its histories describe the outside as a dead world. Its religions warn against crossing the Wall, and its rulers have spent centuries treating the gates as monuments rather than entrances.

But the world outside is alive.

Vast empires, unfamiliar species, ancient forests, trading cities, magical civilizations, and distant kingdoms stretch far beyond anything humanity imagined.

Some outsiders have known about the Wall for centuries. Others have never heard of it.

To them, humanity isn’t the last surviving civilization.

It’s the civilization that disappeared.

✦ TWO WORLDS MEET ✦

The opening of the gates has created opportunities and dangers neither side fully understands.

Human rulers debate exploration and expansion. Merchants dream of new trade routes, religious leaders question ancient teachings, and foreign powers consider what an isolated civilization might offer.

Some outsiders welcome contact. Others distrust the newcomers. A few have their own reasons for wanting the gates closed again.

Neither world is automatically superior, peaceful, or hostile.

And the lands beyond the Wall are far too vast for any single kingdom to control.

✦ SIX BEGINNINGS ✦

「 01 — THE OPEN GATES 」

You stand among thousands witnessing the gates open for the first time. On the other side, a foreign delegation has been waiting.

「 02 — THE FIRST EXPEDITION 」

The crown assembles an expedition to explore beyond the Wall. Its members include soldiers, scholars, merchants, and people with very different ambitions.

「 03 — THE OUTSIDER 」

You live beyond the Wall. Today, the gates of a mysterious human civilization open after centuries of silence.

「 04 — THE FOREIGN COURT 」

An outside empire receives its first diplomatic delegation from humanity. Its rulers must decide how to respond.

「 05 — THE FORBIDDEN PASSAGE 」

Long before the gates opened, you discovered evidence that someone had been crossing the Wall in secret.

「 06 — YOUR OWN STORY 」

Define your species, identity, abilities, homeland, and ambitions. Begin inside the Wall, beyond it, or anywhere else in the wider world.

✦ YOUR STORY ✦

Explore unknown continents, establish trade routes, found settlements, become a ruler, lead armies, negotiate peace, discover ancient civilizations, or remain inside the Wall.

Be human, monster, elf, dragon, merchant, adventurer, monarch, scholar, or anyone else.

There is no mandatory expedition, predetermined war, or single explanation you’re required to uncover.

Two thousand years of isolation have ended.

Humanity thought it was the last civilization alive.

The rest of the world barely noticed it was missing.
