Many people believe that there are millions of other paths that the world could have taken, surviving just parallel to each other; always there separated only by a thin veil of time, rips in this veil have opened. The rifts; as the rips have come to be known join the worlds, bringing all sorts of creatures and people together. Nothing is beyond imagination, in one world or another everything exists. Each world is different; some ravaged by years of old wars, on some technology runs rapid fighters born or built in labs, on others a simpler path as though technology never existed. As the rifts become more frequent magic, technology, creatures of myth and legend all mix, not always with the best of results.

As the rifts become more common the people and creatures of the worlds have begun to exchange ideas and information. In an effort to make it easier the races have been generalized, each sorted into a main class then broken down into more specific types. Rules have formed and a common tongue has been developed.

State name, generalized race, and occupation when first greeting others.

When a rift first forms the closest sentient beings hold charge over the travelers.

At least one person in the area of each rift must learn the common language.

Once the rift becomes stable a traveler's rest point and platform to the rift must be built.

The rifts are still very new and not much is known about how they work or why they send you to the worlds they do yet there are those who seek to control the rifts to use them as a weapon, a way to control the other worlds and become masters over the other creatures. Then there are those who fight back wanting nothing more than to be free.
