Welcome to Terra Nova:  Welcome to you, member of the Fourth Expeditionary Wave, to Terra Nova. The first, true, settlement on our new Material Plane. Please take a quick tour around to get your bearings before your faction allocates your accommodations and distributes work assignments.

Biefing on the World Out there:  This new Prime Material is vast and savage. Beasts and Monstrosities here are larger and stronger than those spoken of in our history lessons. Elemental forces wander from tears between the planes. Mana storms ravage the surface leaving wild magic fields scattered about- not to mention, the demi dragons slipping through the planes to steal and/or eat anything they wish. Enjoy your stay, and try not to die.
