What happens before sBurb begins on the Player’s Land?
This is in terms of a storytelling standpoint, not in the literal where a Land is generated as the Player enters the game.
Before a player is born/hatched/otherwise brought into the world:
1) Their Hibernating Soul rules their Land in peace and harmony.* 2) The opposite Dream Moon of the player attacks the Land in order to gain an advantage over their enemies.** 3) Amidst the chaos, the Denizen enters the Land. The carapacians of the royal's dream moon ferry them away to safety. Before this happens, the Hero or Noble scatters their treasures from their reign across the Land.*** 4) The royal flees to the body they will soon inhabit as a newborn. 5) At the same time, the newborn form of their dreamself floats to the dream moon of the carapacians that helped their waking self escape.****
*In the Land's history, this is considered to be the "fairy tale" age of the Land. Thus, each Land's population views their respective Monarch differently. Some resent the Player for leaving when they were needed the most. Others don't even believe the Player really existed and view them as we view Lady Liberty or King Arthur. And yet others still are complete and utter nerds dedicated to their Player. **Double dreamers (of which there are only 1 in a billion) are overthrown by their own subjects. ***Players born prematurely instead bring their reign's treasures to their own mind/heart, and would be regained by doing specific Quests on their Land instead of just coming across random caches. ****Carapacian players are sponsored by a noble family on their respective dream moon.
Thus, every Player is an exiled royal from their Land who needs to reclaim their birthright and their honor. As said in the Sburb Glitch FAQ, "A title of nobility without a Land means nothing."
A Land starts with only one descriptor. (The Land of Shade, the Land of Frogs, etc.) The second part of the Land descriptor only comes when the Denizen does. This second descriptor is the problem that the Land is facing. After the Player solves the problem, this descriptor will take on a positive meaning.
Example 1: Born 3 months premature, I flee the Land of Diamonds with my Land's treasures. A sickly Glow envelops the Land. My tiny dreamself floats to Derse in a specialized incubator. Example 2: Born at the normal time, my boyfriend escapes the Land of Circuitry empty handed. The Synthesis of the Land is corrupted. His dreamself floats to Prospit in a cradle.
