Far off, nestled in an otherwise small Japanese town lies the Dark Gate Academy. An institution of tremendous size, the Academy holds a long kept secret. Unknown to the outside world, this unseemly town is home to a tear in our reality. A gate between our world...

Well, this is an interesting development.
The last time you saw Rei, she was comatose, with no signs of waking up anytime soon. And then... out of nowhere, she appears. Like a bolt of lightning, sword in hand, smirk on face, healthy and ready to take on any challenge. What changed?
Rei's been standing before you, resting her hand atop the hilt of her sword for a while now, expecting some kind of answer from the group. Instead, you're all busy staring at her, slack-jawed and in shock to even see her standing on her own two feet.
“Rei... you're...

Back at camp, you sit Rei down and explain the current situation to her, as she munches down on some candy Akira had to spare. “So, let me get this straight...” Rei remarks, trying hard to grasp what she's missed. “There's this cult... and they worship this place, so their leader made a deal with a Super Darkworlder so that we would be stuck here for as long as he lived?”
“That's the long and short of it,” you nod.
Rei sits crossed legged on the ground, scratching the back of her head. “Man, this never would...

A nameless man awoke in pitch darkness, seemingly buried alive in a stone sarcophagus. With nothing but a burial shroud and the faint illumination of a candlerod, he escapes from the stone prison and finds his name etched into the coffin’s base: KEJERAL ROERICAR / CATAPHRACTI. Another words comes to mind, that of your tribe: KORATHI.

Above the crypt lies an old, forgotten monastery. The Korathi make camp there, Kirari doing her best to heal Dorje’s and your wounds, but with no water in sight you know Kejeral knows they cannot stay for long. All around in every direction is a vista of expansive desert, a sea of dry rocks and sand. As the sun sets, the three Korathi head southwest, following once again the specter of the four-legged creature which leaves no tracks in the sand. It is discovered that Kirari can summon flames with a form of magic,...

The moment of revelation is cut short as a small group of creatures – Gnolls – walks into the oasis with hunting dogs and spears. They make for the Korathi camp and the stallion they have saved, but Kejeral and Kirari intervene, challenging them openly and boldly. To everyone’s relief, the Gnolls back down and respect the Korathi claim, apparently not willing to fight over it. Through gesturing, Kejeral manages a trade – the corpse of the sandcat in exchange for their guidance to civilization.

Kiyya leads the Korathi and Royt from one hidden cache of water to the next, small wells dug by her people to aid crossing the vast dry distance. As all of them progress further, the sands pile higher and higher and the rocks are worn smoother and smoother, until the entire landscape is just an ocean of sand piled high into great mountain ranges. To her horror, Kiyya leads the group to one of the Imashet havens to discover that in the years she has been gone, the sands have consumed and buried it deep below her....

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
At first, you lay there, unresisting to the weight of your body. Prying your eyes open, you grunt as you slowly pick yourself up from the floor. Your hands drag across the ground, fingers running through the soft carpet. Slowly, your eyes begin to focus. With the help of a chair, you manage to get on one knee, and soon you muster the strength to lift yourself up higher, your legs shaking as you stand up.

>Do nothing. It’ll be too suspicious with Aoi right there.
You decide not to do anything too rash right now and close the door behind you quietly. After a short moment, you hear Aoi whisper to herself,
“I should start making breakfast...”
Gently, she lifts the other girl’s head from her lap and slips out from under. Grabbing a pillow, she slides it under where her lap used to be and gently lowers her back down. She leaves the room, shutting the door behind her without any noise.

You awake to the sound of drills and men marching about. Immediately as you open your eyes your body winces in pain and you can feel the wounds in your stomach and the other areas you were cut. Your armor and dress shirt has been taken off and a quick glance around indicates you are in a tent. Your body is bandaged and you can see spots of red where your wounds lie. Your gaze goes to a person sitting a few feet away from your bed. A woman with her back turned to you and working something with her hands on a table. It seems to me midway when you take a glance outside of your tent. Your head feels woozy.

Ah, yes! /tg/! You decide that the world of fantasy roleplaying is in desperate need of a wake-up call. Which thread catches your attention?
Story so far:
You are Kurridge, an average yordle from Bandle City. Through a series of unfortunate events you have ended up fighting a Krug, getting knocked out, saved my Braum and Tristana, then meeting a spooky masked entity whose chime you've accidentally picked up, then touching a bright orb that sent you to the SUMMONER'S RIFT - while all you wanted to do was earn some coins to live off of.
After recovering from the initial shock and horror of realizing where you are, you decided to go and talk to some of the denizens to figure out what to do - or where to go.

PLANETOGRAPHIC SURVEY
http://emlia.org/pmwiki/pub/web/LeftBeyond.Maps.html
>>244844
ECONOMETRIC SURVEY 1/2
(We're not going to try to design an economy for this setting, so this article is mostly OOC.)
Equipment in the post-Appearing world can be bought in a variety of currencies, since every country prints their own; however, these are pegged at fixed ratios (one US dollar equals one French franc etc. with a few exceptions such as Italian lire and Japanese yen), and travelers will find that exchange bureaus charge very nominal or even no fees. Greater Israeli currency (sheqelim) is accepted worldwide. Of note, the Euro/ECU European currency unit was never re-established due to its perceived connection with the Antichrist.
A large bill ($1000 or so) is called a "talent" and a small coin (1c or so) is called a "mite" regardless of currency.
Also due to a perceived connection with the Antichrist, electronic currency is discouraged - banks allow remote withdrawals from a teller's desk, but the accounts are equalized by ferrying gold, usually at the end of the month.
Note however that post-Appearing society has little room for scarcity: food is abundant, most plant matter is edible and most water is safe to drink, and living space is at anything but a premium. The greater economy is mediated by God Himself, so there is never need to worry about glut or penury.
This works in a very simple system; for most transactions (and certainly for pretty much all large transactions) a Christian merchant will briefly ask the Lord for guidance about the buyer, receiving one of the traditional answers NO, YES, and NOT YET.
In the first case, the transaction is canceled. In the second case, the prospective buyer will be given the good or service free of charge. In the third case, or if there is silence, the transaction proceeds normally. Unbelieving merchants are a small enough part of the economy that their actions do not significantly affect it.
It's entirely possible for someone with a highly active spiritual life, say a professional roving missionary, to effectively operate in a gift economy while his believing neighbor to the right enjoys a stable free-market economy and his unbelieving neighbor to the left must find and make grey-market deals for everything except for the basic necessities.
Post-Appearing society places emphasis on basic crafts; many things that could be made industrially, like fabric, are woven in homes and small workshops by families or local co-ops that encompass groups of friends. The practical effect of this is that prices remain low, as the work is distributed well enough to be light and enjoyable.
>>244880
ECONOMETRIC SURVEY 2/2
High technology products are considerably more scarce, usually due to lack of demand, and are designed to last a long time to prevent having to over-industrialize or succumb to planned obsolescence; this keeps the economy stable and prevents futile performance wars. A computer built in +200 will have roughly twice the memory and CPU capacity of a computer built in +100, and the latter will be about ready to be replaced by the former.
In general, basic consumables cost about half as much as they do for us today, durable goods (toasters, clothing, books) cost as much as they do today but last much longer, and high-tech equipment or weapons may be hard to obtain and cost twice as much as they would today. Media consumption devices such as radios or TVs, and basic cell phones (flip, box, or transcutaneous) are effectively subsidized and count as durable goods. For example, your 20 franc shoes will probably last you five years, and your 2000 franc 486 laptop is likely to keep running for twenty, as long as you replace the battery regularly.
If you are familiar with the post-WW2 economic boom period of the mid 1950s, use it as a guide for what is available, with a few exceptions like personal phones and terminals. It is socially acceptable for the members of a middle class household to go to school or to work with clothes that have a few tasteful patches, although they wouldn't wear them to church (unless they were signaling distress).
Due to the global flattening, heavy metals are obtained via "gentle" stripmining in which rocks are crushed, harvested, and then put back under the soil; this is actually a long-term form of land reclamation in the service of the ever-expanding fields and orchards, that has mineral extraction as a side benefit. The general economic direction seems to be going towards global pastoralization by the time of the Final Victory.
