They say reality is a fabric, a weave. Well, was. 'Cause what happens everytime the world changes? You've got Gods dying, Heroes becoming immortal, and Dragons razing the world. We lost all of that. Too many heroes to fit in too-tight britches. Dragons in the coup - that kind of thing. A fabric? I wish, buddy. Normal world's done up and gone. Just a memory of fire.
I don't how we got here, or when - just that we're here now. Only useful damn place in all of this fog. Yeah, the damn fog. Fog's everywhere. Thicker than molasses... whatever the hell that is. A few dumb asses went first of course - they were out for a good two minutes before running back to town. Crazy talk, then they went out again. Never came back. Now we're waiting for some more dumbasses.
So what'd we do, the dozen or so of us? Well, we built. Cut down a few trees, made a few lodging's - bar went up first o'course. What do you call a town with such a plain messed up group of misfits? People from all of time and space. A minotaur, a mushroom, an' a damn elf too.
****, I wish reality was in a weave. A weave of something that made sense - but hell, we're just stuck with this shanty damn town. A fray in our ****ed-up fabric. That's our name too. Fray. A town that shouldn't exist, but hell, that didn't stop us. And it won't.
