What is the Sonder Universe

In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.

In the universe of Sonder, you live in a high fantasy world blended with realism in some aspects.It is a world born from the death of the One God, the Creator, the Painter, all names for this singular entity that had created the known realms. Within this universe there are lost histories, great forms of magic, ancient beings, warriors that can kill with even a single slash from their sword and more to discover. Every player is considered a “Notable Character” within the world, each someone of worth that is above NPCs.

What is Volaris

The continent in which players find themselves is vastly evolving and changing. From massive tundras and lands of frost, to volcanic deserts and everything in between. Life as it was known changed completely, wiped from the face of the planet. It is unknown if there are any others that still exist, but some written documents, stone tablets, and historical mention of places beyond the vast sea that can be found within the world. As it goes, the rest of the world may not exist, the people referring to their home as the only place that exists. Volaris.

In the beginning of the world, those who lived were Humans, Elves, and Shifters. It was only after the collapse occurred that new origins began to sprout. Nymphs taking shape from the will of a godling, those from the sea and those from the earth, inspired by tales of the Fae. Tales are spoken of other races that exist outside of what those within Sanctuary are aware of. Hellions, fairies, men who grow to half the height of the rest.

It is well known that creatures stalk the world. Monsters of myth that part the oceans and split the skies, corpses that wash up on the shores of the city of giant creatures. Things unseen before, bears the size of a carriage, bodies that rise beyond death. Researchers frantically document each new addition, kept within the royal compendium.

Within the realms of Sonder, Elementia are unique beings that have recently been appearing around the realm. They are shrouded in mystery and the unknown for now, appearing in locations and around the mortals of Volaris.

Prior to the collapse, there was worship of the Old God. His breath filled the veins of the common man, bringing life and power. Vanished from the world, a scar left deeply ingrained on the continent and universe as a whole, his shattering brought rise to the deepest of misfortune. In current ages, starting back to The Return, new godlings arose. Favour garnered with blessings, boons, and offers of strength. Many had fled to their comfort in the absence of a grounding faith, spreading their word and gospel.
