You [[WakingUpElsewhere awaken]] on a hard, uncomfortable bed in a crude hospital room. A single dim lightbulb with a pull-string switch flickers above you. Your clothes are soaking wet, and you're covered in scratches and bruises - thankfully, all minor enough to heal on their own, although you can't shake the feeling that ''something'' is wrong with you.

The doctor will tell you you were pulled out of the water by a fisherman on the docks at sunset, just like the rest of them. You're in the port town of Vandare, he'll explain further. You'll be asked if you know where that is, and if you remember how you got here. Your answer will be no - just like the rest of them.

When you are released from the hospital, the townsfolk will look at you with a mixture of fear and pity. Almost anyone will help you if you ask, but some will gently encourage you to try and find shelter elsewhere. If you're lucky, you'll run into someone like you who can explain what has happened. If you're unlucky, you'll run into someone like you who is [[HorrorHunger already too far gone]]...

Welcome to Ryslig Peninsula.

Ryslig is a panfandom [[JournalRoleplay journal roleplay]] with the basic premise that characters arrive and slowly begin [[ViralTransformation transforming into monsters]]. There are also a couple of [[DivineConflict meddling gods]], a number of {{Muggle}} natives with varying levels of haplessness, a mysterious horse-headed guy in the woods, and an [[OminousFog ominous]] [[FogOfDoom recurring fog]]. Can be found [[http://ryslig.dreamwidth.org/profile here]].
