Legends speak of an unusual traveler that haunts the dunes of the planet, appearing every now and then in the most unexpected places. Rumors have spread across the four nations about the one who is always on the run, who never sits still and, as folk would say it, never sleeps. No one knows who he is and many doubt he even exists, but there are those who claim to have met him once. No one has ever met him twice as he is very hard to find and, since he’s always on the run, the changes of bumping into him are slim at best. Chances of surviving the encounter are even smaller.

Those who have survived said he calls himself Phramo’or and, while he looks like a Ke’pikar, he can survive anywhere on the planet, even at the bottom of the poisoned ocean if he wanted to. Legend says he’s one of the descendents of the Ke’pikar ancestors, who would not know farming or caring for each other, would not live in houses or caves, but simply toughen up to survive out there, in any environment, day and night. Every would-be adventurer who has ever met him and lived to tell the tale, has been seen wearing lavish clothes and spending large amounts of money in the cities afterwards. As they say it, should you meet Phramo’or and get to talk with him, he’ll buy every item you have on you at the estimated price. He’ll give you even more on it if he likes you a little.

Of course, all of these are just rumors…

Holding the least territory on the planet and being hunted down and killed, the Shakay gathered their life was heading towards extinction in a rapid pace. Leaving their homes and hiding in their new-found cave, they began living like animals, running whenever something approached and feeding of the few plants that survived their poisoned soil. Very few Shakay ever reach adulthood, and even fewer can be called elderly, since once their body gives up and starts faulting, they would either be caught, either fall victim to the poisonous environment they live in.

However, a few decades ago, they noticed their cave has openings on both sides, making their new home the only passage through the high-mountains. Therefore, using precious stones found within the cave they were able to buy tools and training from the other side, as well as hire guards to keep their home safe. Inside the cave, they are not only prosperous, they are thriving. And since each side is desperate for the other side’s resources, they hold the key to the new flourishing economy on the entire planet.

Living in the most controversial zone on the planet, the Xiffens are known to be the most long lived and powerful humanoids on Blue Stone. Their Oasis is their sanctuary and their curse. Growing dependent of the fumes within, they cannot leave the place, but in there they are so connected with the environment that they are almost gods. Their identification stone is plucked from the muddy waters, very smoothly shaped, and their mediation mark is engraved on it by one of the priestesses that has lived long enough and is so in tune with the place she can make rocks melt. Only them can provide such a stone in the muddy oasis.

The Blue Stone planet was a planet not dissimilar to Earth, pretty round in shape and with an flourishing ecosystem, but not a dominant species. Ages ago a meteor hit the planet at what was to become one of the planet’s poles, nearly crushing it in half. The crater in which it collapsed was one of the greatest seas on the planet, hosting many large creatures of various kinds.

Once the meteor hit, the stress was so great on the planet that it nearly cracked in half. Luckily the metals within were very malleable and provided a chained reaction that reshaped the entire surface and created a huge line of mountains around the Ecuador that rose so high they completely cut access between the two sides of the planet. The sea in which the meteor fell was to become the planet’s only ocean, were all the water from that side of the planet and even a substantial quantity from the other side poured in over the years, forming one gigantic ocean of poisoned water.
