For centuries, the world of Rune-Midgard thrived under the balance of the three great powers: the Kingdom of Midgard, the Scholars of Yuno, and the Arcane Council of Geffen. Together, they maintained peace and prosperity, keeping the forces of chaos at bay.

But then, **the Rift appeared**.

A mysterious tear in reality emerged in the heart of Midgard, distorting time and space itself. Legends speak of **an ancient war between gods and forgotten entities**, a battle that was sealed away but never truly ended. Now, that seal is breaking.

Through the Rift, creatures of **unfathomable power** roam the land, and whispers of **hidden knowledge, forbidden magic, and lost civilizations** call out to those who dare to listen.

### **⚔️ A World on the Brink**

The Rift is not just a crack in the world—it is a challenge, a curse, and an opportunity. Some seek to **close it** and restore the world’s natural order, while others wish to **harness its power** for their own goals.

The kingdoms are divided:

* **Midgard’s royal knights** defend their lands against Rift-spawned monstrosities.
* **The scholars of Yuno** study the Rift’s secrets, hoping to understand its origins.
* **The warlocks of Geffen** fear that the Rift is a doorway to something far worse.

And in the shadows, **a new faction rises**—adventurers, mercenaries, and rogues who see the Rift as a means to forge their own destiny.

### **🌟 Your Role in the Story**
