The World of Darkness is one not unlike our own, where Shadows stretch farther down and the worst fears humanity had ever conceived of are all too real. Monsters of all sorts lurk in the darkness that pervades this strange world, but even they have something to fear. In the vast tapestry of the universe are woven strange, unspeakable patterns, the restless dead feeding on the living, shape-shifters who hunt between two worlds, and human beings who re-constitute the fabric of the universe in ways both wondrous and terrifyingly alien...
However, even among the beings in the World of Darkness, there are even greater threats that lurk in shadows far deeper than whatever human beings could have imagined. In the darkest depths of the world dwell beings that lurk just beneath the fabric of the grand Tapestry. Some humans have peered deep into the secrets of the universe and saw just what lies beneath that tapestry, and from whatever they saw on the other end, they draw the power to reshape reality as we know it.
Among those who possessed such power, however, a great conflict had erupted over who should be allowed to discover this ability, or if it should ever be discovered at all. Pulling more and more of these dark secrets from the other side, an attempt by those who believed all people should learn of this strange, dark secret had attempted to impart this knowledge upon their fellow man, both to awaken them to the truth that lies behind the world they see, and to combat those who wished to keep the secret hidden.
They succeeded, but at a terrible cost; the Tapestry had been torn asunder, holes ripping through each part of it and from these holes seep the monstrosities that lurked beyond the darkness, creatures beyond even human understanding now walk among them, warping the Fabric and unraveling it thread by thread...
You now walk this tapestry as those who dare delve into the dark. The world goes largely unaware of the new tragedy that's befallen it, and indeed remains unaware of that which lives in the shadows, and in the deepest parts of these shadows are holes in the very fabric of creation through which the unspeakable seep through...
You now walk the Worn Tapestry.
Watch your step.
