Beyond Light

All five realms started to have rifts that crossed over to each other and tore apart the land around them. This forced exposure caused all the major powers of each realm to go to war for 30 years. There were no winners, the realms were left with no leaders alive to guide them, causing everyone to lose care for whatever laws used to be in place. Scavengers, mercenaries, merchants and sentinels are what most people became after the war. The scavengers scoured the torn up land for whatever resources were left, the Mercenaries did any job they could find even if it killed someone, the merchants came out of nowhere, with no origin, somehow having an extreme amount of rare materials and the sentinels were mainly people from Ulta or the Frozen Vale that refused to use most new technology beyond the medieval period. The fact that most of them have magic or the strength of a giant made them still able to combat the “techies” in a decently fair fight. Now the only place with any kind of law is safe havens set up in the realms, that are ruled by a group attempting to become a government called, The Roundtable. The only problem is that either nobody respects them, or everyone fears them. This has led them to be more tyrannical to anyone within the safe havens. They conduct routine searches, kill anyone that breaks law and most won't even allow scavs or the offal. The real purpose of their organization is to kill all the people brought in by the rifts from outside the five realms before The Apex discovers they're existence. According to the Queen, if The Apex finds out about these “Beyonders,” then he would figure out there are universes outside of the five he created resutling in the annihilation of trillions over his ego. Their self proclaimed Queen and the Pillars that uphold the Roundtable each could wipe out cities full of people. Each of the 5 Pillars control a different realm and focus on government with an iron fist.
