The World:
The world is ancient and forever changing.
All things are cyclical, and this world is no different.
In the cycle prior to our adventures, long enough ago that no one knows names, two empires ruled the halves of the known world. But it was not an equal separation.
In the cycle prior to our adventures, long enough ago that no one knows names, two empires ruled the halves of the known world. But it was not an equal separation.
The Empire of Dragonmen was old and greedy, while The Empire of the Demons was young and treacherous.
For a great while there was an outward peace, with borders and territories negotiated and traded, deals made and speeches given in the name of solidarity.
But behind it all was a lust for all that the other possessed, and with a single event, known to no one, the shortest war began.
This history that remains speaks of a single battle. Then end of which was brought by a massive wave of death that, to hear people speak of it, ruined the world.
Centuries later, the land in which we find ourselves is ruled more in theory than in practice by a kingdom of human men, and peppered with creatures of various races. Dominated primarily by plains and rolling hills,
the countryside supports more small townships and farming communities than cities, and the few cities that exist mostly as trade hubs and marketplaces.
Our party of adventurers live near one such township. A motley crew, they grow bored with small farm town life, and set out to join the ranks of heroes past. Questing for riches, excitement, and to carve their own mark on the world.
