Distorted Reality is completely different from the old Reality. Removed from the usual space-time continuum, time passes differently. Also, we may be removed from what you may know to be Escellsia or Vescrutia. We are completely independant, as of now.
How did this happen? Simple. As the Dusk village formed, there was a simple blip in time, the exception to the rule...
This exception allowed for an alternate dimension to be formed. The buildings were identical (Maybe a bit of tidying up was needed...) and most of the people the same (Perhaps their ages had changed... Maybe). People from all over had alternate personae that existed and lived on apart of this new dimension.
Now I ask... Are you ready to continue your journey?
