(More a Thing my DM said. As it stands the best opening to any games I have ever played)

“You see the wide expanse of Creation before you. To the South is the endless deserts and volcanoes, where the most exotic spices and gems can be found. Opposite of it the snow covered North, home to ancient temples and hidden secrets. The West holds the shimmering seas and sings of pirates and adventure. The forests of the East are dark and mysterious, holding countless secrets in it’s depths. And in the center of it all, the Blessed Isle, once home to the gods, and now the hub of the vast Empire that spans all of Creation.”

“It’s an amazing sight, one that truly puts into perspective the wonder of the world as well as how important it is to protect it, But you can’t enjoy the view, because you’re five miles up and free falling, with no means of stopping your descent. Also you’re being attacked by savage bird men. Roll for Initiative.”
