## Plot

The Yggdrasil got sick, all of the planes collapsed, the world was completely ruined. With their final breath the last generation of gods gave up all their powers and created a new world for the survivors. This world is called Arabella, which means An Answered Prayer. This new world was placed on top of the ruins of the old world and it is an environment completely untouched by people, ready to be explored and to find not only new exciting plants, animals, and environmental vistas, but also to find yourself. This season follows three students from different universities: Juniper, Vimble, and Xana, who team up with a never before seen construct named Dio, as they explore this new world. They soon discover that one of the gods chose not to give up their powers and there is a stretch of land completely unchanged. They are now in a race to be the first ones to reach this untouched land, so that they can shape it to their will.

Juniper, Vimble and Xana have travelled at the behest of their colleges into the new world beyond the sky. The trio are expected to make discoveries and map out the area, with Vimble as the dedicated cartographer. It is soon revealed that they've been selected because they are trouble students, and this may be a punishment. The students try to stock up supplies for their expedition, instead picking up Dio, a stone construct in use as a labourer. After causing some trouble in town and being marked as criminals, the party flees into the jungle. Here they discover that the gods who created this world died and gave themselves up in the act of creation, leaving behind parts of themselves in hidden temples. They learn that the god's body parts grant power, and that one god did not finish their act of creation, leaving some section of the world blank and unfinished. They realize they will be world renowned explorers and discoverers if they can collect these parts and find out what happened to the last god, granting them not just good marks in their classes, but incredible prestige. They just have to beat out the earlier research team sent here, and everyone else who knows about this.

In an earlier time, A kobold and two dragonborn enter the new world to scout it out for dragons and their kin back home. They're a good intentioned group, but dragons are notorious for their hoarding of resources via immense power. The future safety and freedoms of Arabella may be decided by their choices here.
