The first island was on the edge of the draggenlands, a magically attuned area of the planet, where the old ones first gave gifts to the dragons, and where the deepest of mysteries lay. Deep caves run underneath the island, caves that lead to the last refugees of species only whispered of in myth. Deep down, Wyrms - the larvae form of a dragon - also live, and slowly begin the process of maturing. This island's inhabitants lost most of their technology, and people when they crashed, leaving only a lucky few to fend for themselves. The people who crashed in the desert now call themselves the Sunset Haven colonists and have more advanced technologies - but not anything nearly enough to fly again. And so, the world of Aground, will not only be significant - it will have a role in the fate of the universe - and how the old ones plan will unfold.
One starship landed far away from the rest, on an unexplored part of the planet, a deserted island with rolling hills and high mountains. Another crashed on the edge of a great desert and was only saved by the actions of a few colonists. Many others burned in lands far away, only to die. What the colonists didn't know was that this planet was incredibly significant, a crossroads thousands upon thousands of years old, colonized by the old ones millennia before humans even dreamt of reaching the stars.
The story of Aground: After the Nuclear Destruction of WW3, many refugees left Earth to try to forge a new life on one of the colony worlds. A group of Starships left Earth, bound for a distant star system: The planet that would become Aground. Unfortunately, as the starships entered the atmosphere, one of them exploded - causing the rest to be buffeted away, and also causing many of them to also experience critical malfunctions.
