I appologize how short this is; but its how I describe my world (howerever fictional)

 

The Continent of Shadows

 

The skies, the waters, the very earth died. It was irrevocable; all  
life was sealed.  
Sealed in darkness, fire, ice, rage and the Bindings of Shadow. All of  
a contenent was sealed in a cloak of Shadow.  
Some say it sank, others say it was destroyed in a war of gods and  
demons. It has been sealed in the Power of Shadow. Since then it lived  
on in the shadows. Sometimes you can see it in the corner of your eye  
in the eve of summer. In the last moment when the sun went down; you  
can see just a glimpse for a fraction of a second; water, deserts,  
towns and forests. Most think it is their imagination. Others see it  
as it really is; they weep for the lives torn apart.  
Chaos ruled; nothing ever could be the same. Fires froze, waters  
boiled, the air poisoned and the earth crumbled. Many people died;  
the ones who survived adapted slowly to the chaos around them. They  
made things anew; mending a damaged world.  
Then a new generation of people were born. They weren't born the same as  
their parents. They were different. The sheer mass of Shadow Energy  
changed them.  
Some had powers beyond belief, others were cursed into beast forms and  
others still died. The dead could not rest; they became Spirits.  
Either benevolent, others malevolent.  
Order was slowly rebuilt. Painfully slow things began to take a better  
path.  
Still the new generation of people remained. Most were cast out.  
Labelled as freaks, murderers, filth and many other horrible names.  
Some became bitter of people. Some stayed hopeful that someday they  
will find someone to love. Others became disinterested with the  
affairs of humanity and left to hone their own talents and skills.  
Many people said hope saved them. Hope for a better life; it is  
powerful. Hope is the light that kept them from the dark.  
Then a fateful event happened; the people born with strange powers  
became accepted again. The hearts opened to everyone; they realised  
that they were still people with hearts and Souls. There were still  
prejudices though; but there was peace between them.
