World
The world of Groundless is a dark one. Only little light makes it through the heavy layers of fog that have been towering between the gigantic mountains of the Tortus Mountains for centuries. In the middle of a rugged gorge is a base, one of the last fortresses in the darkness. From there, paths, impassable for most people, lead into the depths. Over small rocky islands, ancient rotten bridges and rough terrain, it goes down into the gorge further than anybody who came back was able to reach. It says that hundreds of years ago, the oldest god fell from heaven, right down into the deepest depth and with him, all the light vanished. Since then, humanity tries to reach his artifact of power, a mask, promising salvation and divine strength. But many people tried to reach it and and only few, those who were wise enough to give up, came back.
Since the fall of the God, the world changed. Animals became extinct, plants withered and the water changed into a thick, glowing soup. Those who were desperate enough to drink from it became insane, those who did not found death. Some clans, however, who had been smart enough to prepare for any catastrophe, fed on their supplies long enough to adapt. With the help of technical devices they were able to extract the energy from the neon-colored liquid and win it for themselves. At first, only to feed and not to die of thirst, but soon they realized what incredible powers and possibilities the neon offered them.
They started to build technology powered by the Neon. Lights and engines were fed by it and after a couple of decades the first tried to build tech, which strengthened their body. At first it was all about power and practical tools which helped them in everyday life and at work but soon some people developed weapons which gave them unexpected power and masks which pumped the power of neon directly into their bodies. These people were called hunters, and they were the first to dare to go into the depths of the canyon to search for the artifact.
Not even for them it is an easy journey. And although the descent is lined with plants that glow and shimmer in the most beautiful colors due to the neon, the descent is almost always deadly. A thunderous stream of neon falls down the gorge, neither up nor down is there an end to it. Now and then remains of the old civilization can be found, but the deeper it goes, the lonelier and colder it gets. The paths lead down into the mountain where the small neon streams that drip from the hard rocks are the only source of light. One wrong step from one of the islands and you fall into the endless depths.
But the trail is not even the greatest danger.

Legend of The Cyanide Mask:
Deep downhill the giant waterfall in the old ancient glacier. On the very LAST depth, there shall be his body - right beside his mask.
Since then, humanity tries to reach their lost god. Its power is told to be immense and its known to be the first godlike relic.
Of course people are curious, but the old waterfall is very dangerous. Powerful monsters live in these depths. Also human hunters attack others of their kind to make sure nobody reaches the last depth before them.
Player will find the mask eventually on the last depth, completing the base game. Player can use the Mask in NG+.
