Fractured Realm

There was a realm that was rather empty, almost devoid of life. The nomads scattered around had to scavenge and fight for what little resources remained. One group of Nomads found a rift, after some examination they tore it open with their bare hands, being evaporated in the process. This rift allowed four magical realms to leak into the nomadic realm. These magic realms allowed technology and life to be found, and eventually civilizations arose.
