Terrarian
The story will take place some time after the events of Terraria.
The world of Terraria is a wondrous world with a rich history. There have been many occasions where the very existence of the world and its citizens was threatened. The coming of the Crimson, a voracious organic hive mind bent on consuming all, and the Corruption, a similar force which twists things in a more subtle manner are two examples. Perhaps the most notable of these occasions was the Great Cthulu War.
Cthulu was beaten at great cost and torn asunder, scattering the entity about the world. Eventually these pieces gained life turning into terrifying entities which plagued the world. Some dwelled in the corroded pits of the Corruption or the twisting innards of the Crimson. Other pieces made their home in the skies or deep dungeons of the world.
They and others plagued the world for many years. Eventually there came a being who vanquished fought these beings. They were aided by the citizens of the world including the last Dryad and a member of the Order of the Guide. They brought great change to the world and eventually vanquished the Lunar Cult, a mysterious group, and the Moonlord an entity mysteriously similar to Cthulu.
It has been centuries since their Journey's End and the world has greatly changed. The descendants of those who aided the Hero(look up name for the Terraria pc) have formed Guilds and Orders to pass on their trade and role to others. The Crimson, the Corruption, and most other forces have since remained dormant. Recently however there have been those digging into the deep places of the world, places better left alone.
I typed the above up as a pseudo premise/synopsis for a terraria story that I will be working on. I will of course make use of the existing lore, but my own headcanon will fill the gaps as well. For example I might have Plantera be a Corrupt or Crimson Ed Dryad(s), or what if Moonlord is actually the parts of Cthulu that fled taken over by the Crimson or Corruption.
Some parts of the game will be mechanics inherent to the world whilst others may be kept out. For example most large towns have Pylons but small settlements and outposts may not. Invasion events and such are things which rarely occur but are still known of.
I intend to post the prologue by the release date for Journeys End. I will fully dive into the story after I beat Terraria following 1.4's release.
Feel free to give thoughts and criticisms.
