I am working on my character who happens to be in a very interesting sort of spot, and have been able to make up everything except how he got there in the first place (that is his history). I've thought that maybe he worked with some scientific group or other who were researching and experimenting with the 'porous borders' of Althanas some time in the past, and through some accident (freak or otherwise) he fell/was sucked in/pushed/blasted through one of the dimensional rifts and ended up in nonexistence. I have been looking over the history of the world but have not been able to come up with a good idea of who this group of researchers could be. Does anyone have any ideas as to who this research group could be?
