Spoiler: The Gateway

A strange portal that appeared with a small island sixty years prior. While clearly visible, there was no detectable source of energy, it couldn't even be physically touched. There seemed to be no technology existing that could create such a strange phenomena.

Research teams from all over the world were sent and funded to study this Gateway. Billions of dollars were spent to build facilities nearby, leaving the natural landscape and forest intact. It was a fascinating subject for many years. The forest held no wildlife other than the trees, and even they were strange as they didn't seem to grow or die throughout the years it was being studied. Overtime, the money began to dry up for the research teams, some were reassigned to more...viable projects.

After a while, the Gateway became more of a tourist site. Thirty years in and people could visit and explore the forest, take pictures, jump through it, all for a price of course. It was only ten years after that, the Gateway lost it's appeal to even the most frivolous of tourists. For the last twenty years, the Gateway has just sat there, abandoned by scientific and exploratory minds.

Then the Call went out.

 

[Seraph Darkfire]

The Call was what it was eventually known as. The call to action, the call of exploration, the call of the wild. The Call of the Vanguard.

It was only a few years after the Gateway was left alone that it went out, words floated in front of the eyes of every man, woman, and child across the planet. It was like something out of a book.

Attention!
Selecting Vanguard. Vanguard are the first people, those who will set out and explore their given territory. This new world will be paved by the Vanguard, built up and made available to the rest of the world. Vanguard will be randomly selected in the interest of fairness.

The words were strange, terrifying, and exciting in many ways. Some feared being selected for some strange force. Some desired it more than anything. Some were afraid of their children being selected, or their elderly parents instead.

It was only a few short months later when the next message came through. Though this time, only those selected received it.

Congratulations!

You have been selected as your World's Vanguard. You are tasked with exploring, advancing, and experiencing the territory given to you. This territory holds new, great, and terrifying things. You must change and adapt to what is new. You have one of your Local Years to travel to your Gateway and enter your territory. Failing to do so will not only give up your rights to your territory, but also your home world. Your Rival will take possession of all. Power, Knowledge, Conflict, and Adventure. Survive.

These Vanguard were gathered together. The governments of the world had no choice. The idea of giving up their world to an outside threat was unthinkable. Some went willingly, some had to be coerced. All were equipped according to their skillsets, weapons, tools, survival gear, any and all that would give them even the barest leg up wherever they were going.

But when they stepped through...

Warning!
In the interest of fairness, all non-territory materials have been removed. You must start new, as your Rival will. All things must begin equal.

Attention!
You have entered your Territory, The Valley.

 

[Seraph Darkfire]

The very first spot of the Valley, the territory of the creatures known as Humans. This was where they all appeared into their territory, nude and laying flat on their backs, dazed by a travel that none of them would remember. A peaceful forest clearing with not much but trees, birdsong, and a soft warm breeze that caressed them.

More Lore will be provided as the rp goes on and the characters discover it.
