Dusk has settled and another day was about to come to an end. Looking back at what you had accomplished today, you realized that it wasn't much. Whatever problems you were facing are far from disappearing anytime soon. Frustrating, I can imagine. Sometimes, you just wish everything would just end. If you probably had a different life, you wouldn't be forced to deal with such dilemmas. What if I told you that this was actually possible?

Imagine a universe in which all the stars of the sky are another world and that every world was a interconnected into one massive dungeon. Interesting, right?

I present to you, the Dungeon of Samarkand, a City-Type dimension. It is also, to its own knowledge, the only dimension that actively seeks to make extensive contact with other dimensions. It is, in fact, an intrusive dimension, if not a pirate dimension.

Its denizens are hunters of riches and soldiers of fortune, merchants that want to make it big in foreign and exotic markets, adventurers and fearless ethnographers, collectors of the weird and people who simply want to make a name for themselves.

Central, therefore, to Samarkand, is its Dimension Door Hub, an access point to other dimensions. It is located at the core of Samarkand and pretty much everything in Samarkand revolves around it.

Merchants and administrator do their best to make most out of the riches that come and go out of those gates. There are four doors and most worlds have four doors as well. Samarkand is a bit special in that its door are very close together and form a sort of square, around which a quarter is often built beyond.

Once alignment is achieved with another world, you can jump to and fro to another place and time. Such a phenomenon has a time limit on it. Very often we see adventurers stranded in strange places because the gates have fallen out of sync.

Under extraordinary circumstance, some of them even make it back, if the dimensions sync with one another again within a lifespan. It is usually considered a death sentence – or exile, depending on the world they find themselves.

Of course, you can always stay home. Samarkand is a very nice place in itself. But I doubt that you'd simply live such a life. Now, let me ask you, have you ever looked at the stars and wondered what the world beyond looked like? If so, heed my call, accept my offer, and embrace this novel life that some could only dream of.
