A refinery city hires hunters after workers vanish into maintenance shafts that lead to a rift dungeon.

The World

Shattered Maw is an asteroid belt civilization built around a planet-sized spatial wound. Its broken rocks hold crowded habitats, mining towns, pirate ports, and sealed rift dungeons where monsters enter from other planes. Starstone reactors keep people alive, so every spell, shipment, and military campaign is part of an energy struggle. Mercenary hunting guilds serve as rescuers, bounty crews, and political weapons while eldritch anomalies spread between the shards.

Form · Shattered

Shattered Maw is a broken planet reduced to thousands of inhabited and uninhabited asteroid shards circling a vast spatial wound.

Traversal

Ships cross ordinary void with fusion drives, spell sails, and beacon routes, while rift gates provide faster travel at the risk of monsters, memory loss, and altered destinations.

The Ages

  1. The First Landing

    Founding Era

    Refugees from a dying world settled the asteroid belt, naming their new home Shattered Maw after the great rift that opened through its center.

  2. The Long Reach

    Expansion Era

    Mining fleets, spell engines, and habitat foundries linked the largest shards into a harsh but prosperous civilization.

  3. The Energy Wars

    War Era

    Major houses fought over starstone reactors and rift routes, leaving wreck fields, poisoned habitats, and lawless frontier stations.

  4. The Hunt Years

    Mercenary monster hunter guilds keep settlements alive as pirates, rival powers, and creatures from spatial rift dungeons press against the remaining routes.

Plot Hooks

Dungeon expedition

A habitat reactor begins broadcasting a distress call in the voice of a dead guild captain, drawing hunters toward a newly opened dungeon.

Heat for Sale

Political crisis

A pirate crew offers proof that the Meridian Combine is deliberately starving outer settlements to force annexation.

The Convoy Split

Planar disaster

A rift opens inside a moving convoy and links every ship to a different dangerous plane.

The Missing Shadow

Investigation

A famous monster hunter returns from a breach with no shadow and claims the Maw is learning the names of everyone aboard.

Secrets

The First Landing fleet was guided into the belt by an intelligence speaking through the rift.

Discovery · Recovered navigation cores all contain the same erased flight plan.

Impact · The original settlers did not discover the Maw by accident, and their descendants may be maintaining it for a reason.

Some rift creatures are transformed people whose bodies were used in early starstone experiments.

Discovery · Guild veterans recognize certain monsters as former licensed hunters.

Impact · The guilds may be creating the very threats they are paid to destroy.

The Maw has begun dreaming through human minds and is slowly learning how to imitate the dead.

Discovery · The Choir's sermons include accurate descriptions of places no living scout has visited.

Impact · The Maw is not merely a passage between planes, but a growing intelligence that can perceive the whole civilization.
