Abandoned Colony Ruins

The strange ruins show no sign of damage beyond neglect. Homes, factories, buildings of unknown use: they all stand empty and abandoned. Where did everyone go? It seems likely that a large building in the center of the colony may hold the answers.

A large crystal has been found inside what we now know to have been the colony's central administrative center. In some way we cannot fully describe, the crystal seems to have wanted to be found, and is trying to communicate with us. Perhaps with further study, communication will be possible?

After a great deal of trial and error, a breakthrough has been made. The crystal is some kind of Psionic Archive, but its records are fragmented.

What we know is that this was a colony of The Zroni: a psionically gifted race who discovered a dimension which came to be known as "The Shroud". Once the Zroni population reached critical mass, it seems that their collective unconscious minds began to make contact with the proto-Shroud in dreams, leading to mass lucid dreaming. The phenomenon was studied, and the Zroni discovered how to psionically project themselves into the Shroud - at which point they also found that they could manipulate the very fabric of reality, using their psionic powers.

It wasn't long before the Zroni discovered they could physically enter the Shroud and live like gods, transforming the dimension to suit their whims...
