Planar Castaway Image

You were not meant to journey beyond the borders of the world you knew, yet fate had other designs. Through rift, ritual, or accident, you were dragged into another plane—one beyond comprehension. There, you beheld wonders and horrors in equal measure. The experience changed you, not in a way that scarred, but in a way that made you something else. Now you walk the world with eyes that have seen truths most mortals never will.
