History
Herein is detailed a brief history of my world, which will be expanded gradually as I have time...

Premise

 * The "Creator"
 * The ritual of an (epic-level) mysterious, aberrant Wild ArchMage / Mystic Theurgist, bent on ascending into godhood, gets spun awry by forces beyond his control, which tear up the entire space-time continuum, and (ie: akin to the "Gray Gem" of DragonLance(TM) Krynn fame), the ripple-effect transforms and modifies the entire local cosmos into a warped reality personally possessed (and tortured) by his own soul. Thus, a new bizarre cross-planar world of quasi-physics and elemental chaos is borne... full of strange dysfunctional landscapes, and new, awakened life forms.

The Present

 * Rulership
 * The cosmos has eventually come to be ruled by usurpers: super-intelligent, yet aberrant 'Amoebic' life-forms, whose despotic rule is enforced by their elite legions, the 'Virals' (these names will change later, but for now, they are referred to as such conveniently to help people grasp the concept of life here).
 * This universal rule is countered in the balance and opposingly checked by scattered pockets of resistance led by 'Bacterials', my world's version of "freedom fighters".
 * This contrast of black vs. white is hardly the full extent of it, for most of the realm is neutral or isolationist and self-centered, except a few predominant factions whose various allegiances are unique to them.
