Beyond the realm that we all know and dwell in, there is another. One that is very little known to most people, and even less likely to be seen. And yet, this little known realm is important to Earth, and to all its inhabitants. Why? Because, if not for this realm, none of us would exist. It is because of this realm and its inhabitants that we can continue live our lives, our blissful, content and ignorant lives.

Indeed, one may think of this realm as the essential part to make something work and continue. As a human needs a heart to keep blood pumping through their bodies, so does Earth and our realm depend on the other like a heart, like a lifeblood.

Every year, a chosen few individuals are taken from our realm into this other place. There they will undergo experiences that one would say is very excruciating, especially if they're very sensitive to tickling, and all those chosen always are supremely ticklish. The beings that dwell in this other realm, known as Atheiirlan, feed mostly on laughter, and one of the best ways to produce laughter in the chosen victims is through tickling. In turn, the crystal that hovers over the main island of Atheiirlan gains power, and that power sustains both Atheiirlan, and Earth. If the crystal should fail, or its power wane, both realms would cease to exist forever.

So why are you being told about all this? Because, YOU are one of the chosen! Indeed, thanks to you and a few others like you, Earth will continue to exist. There is no escape, there's no alternative means. What you're about to experience will be quite literally out of this world, but at the least, some part of you will be aware, that the world can breathe easier knowing that you have done it a great service.

Atheiirlan is a land of magic and immense fantasies, during your visit to this realm, you will have a combination of your Earth skills with new skills that will vaguely mirror what you are on Earth.

Now all that remains is for you to choose who exactly you are.
