History of the Universe
There are few surviving records from before “The Sundering” when the Inner Planes were blasted into shards. The most recent history stretches from when refugees created the Voidship “Home” to escape the destruction of their homeland, an event that left a ruined province now called The Frost Shepherds.

Event: The King in Yellow attempts to take over Biomia
Using his aberrations and far too many clones of Gondra, the King in Yellow tries to steal the memories and minds of all of Biomia. He and his plan is ultimately defeated by the Well Met Heroes.
Event: An Arcane Academy is created in Quasqueton
An academy for arcane arts was created on Biomia. It is a beacon of learning for wizards in the Welmet area for generations. While generalist studies were available, the gem in the academy's crown was their Bladesinger program, dedicated to training the newest wandering defenders of Aperta-Mundi, trained in blade, spell, and song.
Lonnal and Wren opened their academy for arcane arts. The name for this school is lost to the ages. While generalist studies were available, the gem in the academy's crown was their Bladesinger program, dedicated to training the newest wandering defenders of Aperta-Mundi, trained in blade, spell, and song. For over a thousand generations, Bladesingers were known as the guardians of peace and justice on Aperta-Mundi. Lonnal and Wren became headmasters of the Academy, sharing their knowledge with the world.
The Sundering
Little is known about the period of history that began the Sundering.
The Decline
Little is known about the period of history where the decline in civilization prompted by the Sundering grew in scope and danger.
Building Home
In an effort to survive the final collapse, a small but diverse community took their accumulated knowledge of magic and built a self-sufficient colony. They started with very little in the way of material resources on one of the last large fragments of the Prime Material Pane. They established farmland, scouted the area for new resources, and were overall successful.
While there were losses on the way, most notably the oldest and most knowledgeable throuple, the colony made up for it by preserving that knowledge in magical crystals found nearby. Those same crystals allowed for the taming of the dinosaur population the colony found in the jungle. This led to the development of a very mobile and powerful fighting force of dinosaur riders.
Among the threats faced during this time were a group of barbarians who objected to the throuple-based social dynamics of the colony, as well as the remains of the mega corporation Gamma Co. Both caused some problems for the colony, but the people developed and implemented various plans for the future. Gamma Co. managed to tap into a magical reservoir found under a volcano and mount an offensive force, but the Dinosaur Riders were able to handle them.
There were some excursions to more remote areas of the region, some more successful than others. One to the ruins of a crashed flying city had only one survivor, which led to minimal efforts to explore the beautiful arctic region with a second freshly-fallen flying city. On the other hand, an old sailing vessel was found and moved to a convenient spot to start working on it. A brilliant scientist built the efficient and durable Miriad Drive and built a voidship around it. Thus, the voidship Home was made.
In a final burst of desperation, the ship was ensured to be large enough to hold people, supplies, and especially the dinosaurs. Just before this fragment of reality was also shattered, Home left with everyone and everything on board for a new destination. The barbarians put aside their problems with throuple to join them. Gamma Co. used the power from the magic volcano to build a strong barrier to protect them. A splinter of the Home community did take issue with how things were run and disappeared into the wilderness.
Recent History
Since then, the voyagers of Home have settled in to their corner of the universe. They expanded their magiponic farms to the new land. Once they were secure, they decided to start reaching out to the remains of the universe around them. They then created the Welmet Voidspace Station as a point of contact for those who need help in the universe to get it. The Welmet accepts all adventurers looking to help deal with the problems of the universe, even if only to make some money.
In the current age, the original sailors of Home have settled or made contact with a number of other Provinces throughout the Aether, setting the table for any number of adventures.
