RIFTMOOR
RIFTMOOR
A hard-science fantasy setting built upon the ruins of a civilization ruled by ruthless wardens.
The Wardens reshaped worlds, distorted peoples, crossed the stars, and built civilizations across the galaxy. Their rivalries divided those civilizations between the Alliance and the Empire, engulfing hundreds of worlds in war before vanishing.
Riftmoor is the story of what they created, what they destroyed, and the civilizations that inherited both.
