The Birth of the Oasis The creation of the Wastelands is wrapped in mystery and magic. Some tales speak of a great war brought from the outer planes. Bards often sing of a civil war within a mighty household of magic, punished for their arrogance. Still others tell of the powerful magics born of hatred and greed. It does not matter to those who struggle to survive in the tortured land that remains. The elements build up here just to destroy it an endless cycle. Fire falls from the lightning torn sky onto frozen earth, which lay next to pools of boiling acid. Rifts open and close in a strange concert creating entryways to places even the bravest warrior and skilled spellweaver would dare not tread. The rules of planescape theory, logic and morality fail to meet with the reality of the Wastelands. Among the storms, a single figure stood. His will alone pushed the elements back. His robes whipped about him as he knelt upon the barren and lifeless soil. No plant could survive this place and the constant abuse. Few things could survive here unless they were cared for properly and powerfully. And the world would hear his command. "Hear me! This is where I will build my dream. A safe haven from the dangers of the Wastelands. An asylum from the politics of kings and senates. A place of solace for the weary travelers of the world. And a home for my adopted children." His staff struck the ground and echoed above the roar of the ravaging storms. Beneath his feet, a green glow began to build. Slowly it pushed back the storms from the lush forests that quickly grew within its protection. The Great Druid's gift still stands against the many challenges that have faced his dream. Like waves crashing against the shore, there is always another danger upon the horizon. But will these trials break the people of Shadowmoor, or make them stronger? Choose your allies and decide for yourself. Shadowmoor is SOLAR's second chapter based out of Kings Mtn State Park at the NC/SC border. The game is designed to project a different feel from Clanthia's environment, focusing on a heightened sense of wonder and mystery. We focus on a strong, organized plot committee and plenty of things to think about during and between events.
