The Riven Exodus: An Everlore Backstory.

Prologue: The Fall of Strangetown

The Curious family had always lived on the edge of the extraordinary. Experiments, anomalies, and cosmic mysteries were a Tuesday in their household. But even they couldn’t predict the scale of the silent invasion that swept across Strangetown.

Alien ships descended, anchored, and did not leave.
They altered minds, reshaped neighborhoods, and converted Sims into bio-engineered servants.
Strangetown fell first—then neighboring towns followed.

The world was collapsing, and no one was prepared… except the Curious family.

The Rift Project

As the invasion took hold, Pascal Curious and his brothers, Vidcund and Lazlo, began work on their most dangerous invention yet:
a multi-realm dimensional rift.

Their hope was not to win a war—
but to ensure that something survived it.

Tycho, Pascal’s brilliant and intuitive son, became the key.
When the prototype rift destabilized, he was the one who stabilized the energy core, linking alien tech, ley-line readings, and human science into something functional. Dangerous, but functional.

Time was running out.
They needed a small group—people who could not just survive, but rebuild.

The Escapees

When the final alien breach hit the lab, the chosen group was rushed through:

• Tycho Curious

Reluctant leader; scientific prodigy; carrying the last hopes of his father and uncles.

• The Caliente–Lothario Siblings

Children of Don Lothario and the Caliente sisters—a mix of charm, ambition, and tangled heritage.
They represent social adaptability and survival instincts.

• Romeo & Juliet Monty-Capp

Once heirs to rival dynasties, now united by love.
They symbolize cultural unity and diplomacy.

• Alexander & Lucy Burb-Goth (Married)

A scholarly, grounded couple who married young after growing up together.
Alex brings old-world intelligence, a hint of latent magic, and the weight of Goth legacy.
Lucy brings optimism, practicality, emotional resilience, and the desire to build a peaceful life far from old family drama.

Together, they embody stability—the foundation any new world needs.

As alarms blared and alien drones swarmed, Pascal forced Tycho into the portal.
The last thing Tycho saw was his father sealing the controls, shouting:

"Live. Build something better than what we lost."

The gate cracked and collapsed behind the group.
They don’t know if the Curious brothers survived…
or were taken.

Arrival in the New Realm

They emerged into a raw, unfinished dimension—alive with elemental power but devoid of civilization.

The realm reacts to thought. To emotion. To intention.
It is malleable, waiting to be shaped.

There is nothing but:

• fractured land

• unformed magic

• unstable ley lines

• and limitless possibility

They are no longer refugees.
They are founders.
