A Fractured World

The players may start in whichever kingdom they choose, though they must all start in the same kingdom. The continent of Medolania, once ruled over by the vast and unchallenged Rozani Empire, is now fractured and in a constant state of turmoil. Religious zealotry rules much of her cities, tensions stir at all nations’ borders, inquisitors march door to door, taking many from their homes for high crimes against the approved pantheon, supported by most governments. Across the mountains and plains of Medolania, a fierce sandstorm stirs in the Al’Akra desert, with reports of incursions against garrisons at the Terrorwatch of the Helvenic Dominion coming dangerously close to breaking through the fortifications and into the motherland. Closer to home, border disputes between the Helvenic Dominion and the Ascendancy threaten to reignite old fires of war, watched upon gleefully by minions of the Czerka Trading Company, who profit off of such bloodshed.   These are just some of the conflicts, stories and woes that betide Medolania. Beneath her ancient shell, relics of Empires long destroyed, peoples long crushed and cities long forgotten await discovery. Old technologies since forgotten lay dormant, awaiting reactivation and a master to serve. New technologies grace the fields of battle, wielded by mercenaries and common soldiers alike, powered on by the House of Black and Gold and madmen of the Fellforge, bent on creating implements of war, sustenance and order.   Beneath these technological breakthroughs, these magical wonders, terrors of the unknown and strongmanning of civilisations, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people set out to carve their lot in the world; living meal to meal, town to town, coin to coin. Medolania, a land filled with adventure and opportunity, awaits one or many eager enough to plunder her treasures.
