This wiki houses primarily the setting lore for the Realm of Ko, the fantasy world in which the game takes place. The Realm of Ko is a world rife with danger and besieged by disaster and tragedy. Eldritch creatures roam the land, twisting the laws of nature to suit their mysterious whims, remnants of a great catastrophe long forgotten, known to some few lorekeepers as the Exodus. Tribal civilizations, all that remain after the devestation of the events leading up to the Exodus, worship these monsters as gods, obtaining strange and powerful magics in the imitation of their cryptic mannerisms. Ancient races cling to corrupted vestiges of their old faiths and customs, struggling to reconcile them within a realm usurped by newer civilizations, antithetical magics, and alien gods. The players, sent questing by their shared tribe to obtain knowledge, power, and salvation, must wander through this hostile world, making pacts with spirits, fighting off abhorrent beasts, and plundering secrets from the anceint remnants of past civilizations as they do so.
