Hey guys, a friend and I put together a world that utilizes aspects of Lovecraft/Eldritch horror, steampunk tech, and an aura based magic system. The lore is pretty fun, and I'll probably post a larger interest check/application post later, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if anyone liked the idea of running around inside the world we've created.
A short rundown: Veda is a parralel universe Earth, where the first sentient beings to exist are monstrous things known only as Elders. They can take any number of forms, from partly human, to giant mashups of nightmarish creatures. They posses massive magical powers, never age, but can die. Humans didn't come into existence until several hundred years after Elders.
The God of Veda created six Elders more powerful than the rest and these Six were assigned special missions. One of these missions was to prepare for the creation of humankind, and protect them when the time came. At first Elders as a whole didn't pay any attention to humans, ignoring them mostly. Over time humans became extremely advanced, even surpassing our current tech. The time finally came for one of The Six to fulfill his final mission. The Elder known as "Prometheus", oldest and strongest of The Six, selected two humans and bestowed portions of his power upon them. Along with his massive power they were given the power and mission to spread "Talents", or the ability to utilize aura to do magic, to humans.
Fast forward a few hundred years and humankind are all but extinct, hunted by the now jealous Elders.
That's the watered down version anyway, let me know if your interested!
