[Original Statplay] Tales of Alidaire: The Abyss

Naught but a mere shadow of the true world...

Slowly following the world known as Alidaire's path through the manaverse is another dimension named Abyss, or at least that is what is found in the legends.  Abyss is a shadow of Alidaire, but it isn't as evil as it sounds.  It is a normal dimension just like any other, though it takes on the appearance of Alidaire, only twisted and contorted in strange ways.  Civilization and culture are different.  The way things work are backwards in some ways, and more familiar in others.  To cross from Alidaire to Abyss typically results in certain death, and as such, it is forbidden.  Luckily, Abyss is not well-known, for lore surrounding its creation and existence are not abundant.  However, this simple dimension gets turned completely around, embracing the truth behind its name.  A malicious being known merely as the Void King seizes control of the realm, unleashing an ominous darkness that shrouds the entire dimension and gives birth to frightening monsters whilst submerging the realm in perpetual night.  With no one possessing enough power to fight back against the Void King, the spirits inhabiting the realm were forced to flee, isolating themselves in unknown nooks throughout Abyss.  Not everyone's thought process was so constrained, however, for there stepped forward one spirit with a revolutionary idea.

A powerful specter by the name of Nox Tellerin fled Abyss completely, choosing to step out of shadows and into the actual world of Alidaire itself.  With his ability to take on a corporeal form, he was able to assimilate with Alidairian society quite easily.  In need of a job, he used his Abyssian powers to become a bounty hunter, taking down thieves, murderers, and tough monsters single-handedly.  He got his own place in the peaceful town of Benevolentia on the continent of Elendia.  This was a life he could enjoy, and enjoy it he did.  However, what he forgot was that no one can just leave the past behind, at least not a past like his.  Rumors began to spread across the land, eventually arriving in Benevolentia as well.  They told of people randomly disappearing, becoming lost in a dark mist never to be seen again.  Nobody knew exactly what that meant, but having come from the realm himself, Nox knew exactly what was happening.  People were wandering absently into Abyss, and with the Abyss monsters running about and the lack of civilians to accommodate new arrivals to the realm, it would spell out certain death for any who were unlucky enough to enter.

Knowing that it was the work of the Void King, Nox decided to shrug off these rumors as that--merely rumors.  He would continue working as always, and he would enjoy the new life he had made for himself.  Even if he went back, there was no way that he alone would be able to stop the Void King.  Unfortunately for him, when a young girl who had been seen around Benevolentia vanishes, he realizes that maybe it is time to return to Abyss and face that which he couldn't all that time ago when the struggle first began.

Amelia Vivere is a young orphan girl with no home, no friends, and essentially no life.  Living on the streets and in the outskirts of Benevolentia, every day for her is a struggle to remain alive.  There's no time for social pleasantries with her.  Each day that passed amplified her depression, and one day while walking on the outskirts of town, she wandered into a dark mist only to wind up arriving in a completely different dimension.  Her case was special: because she possessed no life on Alidaire, she essentially faded from existence, becoming dislodged from the world and falling into Abyss.  She wandered about the place at which she arrived only to become set upon by monsters.  However, an invisible monster named Clamber came to her rescue, saving her by demolishing each monster who dared try to lay a claw upon her.  Clamber, although invisible, became Amelia's first friend in the entirety of her life.  Together they stayed in the forest to support each other, and despite it not being the best life, it was much better than what she had on Alidaire.  Still, Abyss was a dangerous place, and though she despised it, she still wanted to return home.  But that was impossible for her alone to achieve.

Follow the story of Nox, Amelia, Clamber, and the brave souls who will wind up venturing into the dangerous realm of Abyss to turn the lives of many from lost in darkness back to the twisted normality that they once knew...
