Codas - The World of Ash
Our world is called Codas, the world of Ashes, it is the final destination of all stories without endings. Those who live upon its surface are forgotten, mistakes, errors, failures, broken, lost, all of them stripped of the power they once held. Due to their otherworldly origins, these remnants are fated to remain fractured, never gaining their happy end, only the children born within Codas hold the potential to become complete.
Tainted Dust blankets everything, gray as far as the eye can see, yet the first remnants to appear had managed to survive within the inhospitable land. They had at first struggled to keep their lives, though, eventually some formed communities, some wandered alone, and others joined roaming caravans.
Humanity has managed to reach greater heights through the use of paths. These paths are sets of beliefs, emotion. Logic, or otherwise that gives one a variety of strange control methods over dust, usually through the use of Hymns, that despite similarity to magic, are not.
"Until recently I had believed the churches doctrines, I though that they were telling the truth, but, this ring, the ring father entrusted me with, holds secrets I never imagined, though unfortunately it won't seem to let me learn everything right now."
"I remember his face, his dying words. as if it had happened yesterday"
