Where The Farlands Went

== Chapter One - Origins ==
The Farlands. Towering plateaus of titanic terrain that give off a sense of something lonely and unnatural. Before those days, mighty adventurers journeyed far and wide to climb the flat cliffs of the Farlands. But now, it's gone. Or most of them had thought. The mystery that underlies the generation phenomenon known as the "Farlands" will be revealed by a young and curious boy.
Underneath the crepuscular glow of the midnight moon, an unknown hunter, armed with an Iron Sword rushes through a bushy forest. The hunter feels a strange sensation, a light vibration of the earth. They slowly sneak around the foliage, and find a gleaming red block amongst Redstone Ores.
The hunter slowly checks for traps, and proceeds to further walk towards the block. The sensation is strengthened when the hunter touches it... suddenly, the hunter's health is drained, heart by heart, their body falls down the dirt, and is pulled together towards the red block.
=== Chapter 1.1 - The Pillars ===
Was it a week ago? A month? No one knows. The hunter known as "Leolidas" perishes. Traces of what appears to be Leolidas' footprints are found in a nearby forest, but no sign is left after an abrupt stop of their footprints.
As a memorial is made for Leolidas, his son; Line thinks there is something strange regarding his death. A day before the funeral, Line sees a burst of red beams from the forest, and sprints towards it.
"What was that?", Line thinks to himself. He dashes further and further into the woods, where he finds an Iron Sword and a very light pink block. It emits a powerful ray towards Line's eyes, knocking him back a couple blocks away. He uses the sword to puncture through the block, releasing tens of hundreds of Redstone Dust, a special material that no one in their village had ever seen.
Line was covered in what seemed to be powdered Redstone Dust. He brushes off the dust and collects some in a compact Glass Bottle for further analyzing. Line was crafty, and his first instinct was to see if he could make anything with this new item. Creating a Crafting Table from nearby woods on trees, he uses all sorts of items to try and craft something, and finds his first invention; a Redstone Torch.
