Raltha, a shattered world
Raltha (pronounced "Rall-tha") is both the name of a science fiction/fantasy setting and the name of a distant world in the far future that has been shattered by a calamitous supernatural event. Raltha, a shattered world, has been split up and stitched back in a patchwork of other realities including, but not limited to: a world of dark gothic horror, a world of hellish suffering, a world of high fantasy and a high technology post-apocalyptic world. This setting is the brainchild of Jeffrey D. Gordon for Sentry, a book written for NaNoWriMo 2014 to be published in mid-2015. The first draft of the book is available to review immediately.
Leave this Kain fellow to me, for he is lost and used to following orders. His soul is vengeful and dark, but deep down I think there's hope. I've trained many good Clansguard with just as much turmoil. I'm confident we can use him at least for now.
-Lyne McKinney, Clansguard Elder to the Pankeen Council
Kappel? Yeah I know her. Damn good soldier - sharp as a whistle. I was on short tour on the northeast border with her while she was a conscript - right before battle T-264. Last I heard she'd gone into tech school.

Claymore calling anyone who can help. We've been hit by an energy wave and our arcanic drives have been knocked out. We're going down hard. Mayday! Mayday!
-Last words of Captain Julia O'Donnel, P.A.S. Claymore.
The earth shook and the sky was afire. When my senses returned to me, Castle Kalifax was gone. In its place was a shining gate to another world. I knew then our lady was gone.
