Parhelion: A World Reborn

Have you ever wondered about the things that slip through the cracks? The people that just...vanish? The places that fall into myth? There is a place where many of them go: Parhelion. The currents of the Maelstrom drag things from reality. From all realities. It takes the forgotten, the lost, and it keeps what it takes. When a person falls through the gaps, well, sometimes it's just they've been forgotten. And sometimes it's more. Something you're about to find out. You awake on the train, confusion and horror. Outside is the void, endless, infinite, colours and darkness and smoke and cloud. Through the shadows and the mist a structure comes into view...an island, floating in nothing, thread-like train tracks running from into the nothing that surrounds you. The doors open and you feel compelled to step onto the platform. You don't recognize the writing on the signs, but you know what it says anyway - 'Welcome to Olympia Station'. Or maybe you came on purpose. Maybe you sought out the void, sought out it's secrets. Working endlessly, devising machine and magic to hunt for the secrets lost in that place, working tiresly until one day...you were there. On a train car, riding through the void. And maybe you've always been here. Your family stayed, made something of thmselves, and this is just your commute to town. But however you came to it, you're in the void now. Some seek to slip out of reality to escape, as a fresh start, or just curiosity, others fall in by chance - or were pushed in. However one falls through, there are ways out - though it's often said they always come back to the void whether it's after a day, a month, maybe years...but once you enter into the void, you always come back eventually. There are rumours of ways to permanently escape, unique for each person, though some have chosen to embrace the void, building lives, even growing families in Parhelion. You'll meet all sorts here...
