Okay, so I've been thinking about this for a bit, and, the introduction for Mortia is, "Thousands of colonists arrive at the gates of this new world. Mortia lures generals in search for lands to conquer, leaders looking to establish new clans, merchants dreaming of fabulous riches, explorers and adventurers, nobles and commoners." et cetera, et cetera. Now, after sending the Confederate Research Ship Magellan across the vast oceans, I've determined that the world is round. And as there's no old world continent or the like out and about the oceans... Where are the colonists coming from? Are those gates dimensional portals, bringing people in from other worlds? Or are we exiles from the cities of another player? If that's the case, where did they come from, and so on?

There is another world above Mortia, people get pushed down from there.

Oooh, what can you tell us about this world? I've been wanting to get around to writing some backstories for various things, but that generally needs some background information.

Well its a beautiful world with rivers of milk and cookie houses, but it's problem is overpopulation. Some have to stand close to the edge and "occasionally" slip.

If you're serious about the backgorund story, I can provide you with a rough translation of the original one.

Yes, I am actually serious about this. I'd even been contemplating one based on the idea of it being a dimensional portal.
