+===== Setting Primer =====
+At our core, Project Multiverse is a space opera.
+Our stories take place on worlds within star systems within a greater star cluster. This doesn't make our setting exclusively science fiction, however! Individual worlds and/or systems can be pure high fantasy, post apocalyptic, steampunk, or any other type of setting that our players might wish to write stories in. The broader space opera setting is the glue that holds everything together and allows characters of one location with its own rules - [[shards:start]]s - to travel and visit other shards.
+So long as their stories don't cause problems for others, players can tell the stories they want to.((Within reason - we have rules about fairness, appropriateness, Intellectual Property, and so forth!))
+We're excited to see where //you// fit in.
 ===== Setting Pre-history =====
-The //Calliope Star Cluster// predates the various burgeoning [[shards:start]] and entities that have in recent history begin to pock its interior.

-Thousands of years prior to the current GC((Gatekeeper Calendar)) a race of powerful [[universe:precursors|precursors]] ruled the star cluster in its near-entirety for millennia without count.

 These precursors, their history now lost to all but the most advent of stellar archeologists chose to shepherd instead of rule the many races of peoples in the star cluster; Guiding them and watching over them when they could have ruled over them like gods. The precursors lived with and among the fledgling races of the star cluster until one day they simply //vanished// from any known records or annals of history, leaving the weak and vulnerable races of the star cluster to fend for themselves.

 Their disappearance is highly speculated and disputed among those nations to uncover ruins, technology fragments, and installations of the precursors such as the [[universe:gates|Gates]].
-The reasoning behind their disappearance is widely up for debate; As no definitive answers have ever been found. To do so would require one to invest heavily in the exploration of [[location:hadals_chasm|Hadals Chasm]]; The great and sector-spanning great nebule that cuts a great tear across the star cluster and sits on top where many signs point to being the heart of the precursor's society.

[[shards:start]]s, fragments of wayward realities that follow their own laws of space and time, have likewise begun to appear, with just as little explanation.
-But the chasm is not only great and turbulent but also filled with horrors and terrors beyond comprehension that only the bravest and most well-equipped of adventurers, treasure seekers, nations, and archeologists dare brave for more than just the secrets it holds.
