Malifaux

Welcome to Malifaux!

Bad things happen...

Malifaux is not my original works - it belongs to Wyrd Miniatures, I'm just trying to run a Through the Breach game, and make it easy for my players to understand the world...

Malifaux is a world set aside from our own. Located in another realm, in another dimension of reality, it is home to monsters and mankind alike. Far too often, the two become indistinguishable from each other.

Despite being a different world, Malifaux is similar to Earth in many ways. It has breathable air, discernible seasons, and a blue sky with a sun that rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The soil is suitable for growing crops, and Earth plants have been successfully transplanted to Malifaux (and vice versa) with little fuss.

There are differences, of course. The stars and constellations in the night sky are completely different from those of Earth, and two moons - the bright Illios and the darker Delios - hang overhead at night. Some people claim that the sun makes colours appear brighter and more vivid in Malifaux, as if the world had been painted onto glass, but the majority of people who travel to Malifaux don't notice that much of a change.

In short, Malifaux may seem strange to humans, and it's certainly dangerous in the way of untamed wildernesses, but it's rarely alien. Most natural laws, such as humanity understands them, continue to function on Malifaux just as they do on Earth.

The one notable difference that separates Earth from Malifaux is the abundance of magical energy. On Earth, spellcasters have always had to struggle to draw upon the magical energy; only the most powerful spellcasters, emboldened by mystical runes and arcane phrases passed down since ancient times, could even hope to harness this mystical power.

In contrast, Malifaux is saturated with magical energy. The same arcane words that could barely light a candle back on Earth are enough to summon up a whirlwind of flame in Malifaux, and even those with no talent for magic gradually find themselves developing strange abilities as the latent magic of the world seeps into their bodies and souls.
