Editing Dungeon World: Planarch Effect

[[Category:Planarch Effect]][[Category:Dungeon World]]

Planarch Effect is a PbP game run on the RPG.net forums, set in a universe inspired by Spelljammer and the Mass Effect games.

We follow the adventures of the first human Spectre, Morgan the Cruel, and her motley band of associates as they work together to save the universe from horrors beyond the dragon-gates...

== Introduction ==

''In the year 742AE, sorcerers of the Seven Kingdoms discovered the relics of an ancient civilization, hidden beneath the jungles of Bah Rai Soom. These relics would unlock magical secrets that would change humanity forever. The basis of these secrets were a set of spells that controlled the very fabric of the astral dimensions.

''They called it the greatest discovery in human history.

''The races of the planes call it... the '''Planarch Effect'''.

*'''The Sorcerous Wars''' - Eldarin, Urukai, and Myrmidons battle for supremacy over the cosmos.
*'''The Draconic Crusade''' - The Council races unite against an implacable foe - the Dragons and their slave races. Eventually, the Dragons are all slain and the Spire is taken from them. The secrets of the Dragon-Gate network are unlocked.
*'''The Unfurling Horizon''' - The Council races use the Dragon-Gate network to expand into the galaxy.
*'''The Myrmidon Revolution''' - The High Queens' lock on Myrmidon society is broken, and the Free Republics are established. The Revolution is lead by a former Council Spectre.
*'''The Modron March''' - The Modrons burst onto the scene from an uncontrolled Dragon-Gate, destroying tens of worlds, including Goldheim, home of the Dwergar, who become a client race to the Urukai. They are pushed back behind the Mechanus Veil by the combined efforts of the Council races.
*'''The Human-Myrmidon War''' - The Seven Kingdoms discover astral-jamming sorcery, and use it to expand into the Astral Sea.
