To the North is a cold and merciless land, with tall mountains, deep valleys and long winters. The people there are hardy and intrepid, and they live a simple life of hard work and hard play. They do regular battle with an ancient enemy that rules the sky, and they study the documents that still remain of the civilization that ruled the land before an Upheaval divided the world.

They are convinced they are alone in a small, harsh world, until they meet surveyors from a vast Empire from the south...

To the South, over the mountains, a sprawling Empire rules over many assimilated cultures. It boasts complex civilization and wondrous technology based around crystalized fractures of time, machines and science. But they are faced with a deadly, invisible foe and know of no way to combat it. Fear, superstition and unrest are rippling through their well-ordered society.

Part high fantasy and part science fiction, with flavors of steampunk, alternate realism and high adventure, Torn World is a richly detailed shared world like no other. Exceptionally well-developed and highly honed, Torn World invites new members to participate in the creative development of a complex, intertwined storyline and contribute artwork, writing and ideas, while retaining commercial rights to their own work.

In 2010, Ellen Million and a host of talented artists and writers will take you on an interactive adventure of stories, artwork, poetry and more, in an inspired new format of cyberfunded creativity.
