Abios Campaign

A Dungeons & Dragons 5e game In the world of Abios
May 23rd, 2018 | Full
Volstis is the third planet from the sun orbited by one moon called Luna in what is known as the void sea. It is on this small blue jewel that we learn of our heroes and though insignificant at this time, may find themselves changing the course of history for the entire planet and all creation.
 
Along the known northern hemisphere of Volstis lies the continent of Abios, home to all manner of races with varying political and personal motivations from nation to nation. The good kingdoms in the north stay ever vigilant against the covetous gaze of the nations along the the Emerald Basin to the south east, and all watch nervously for any word of an undead invasion from the forsaken lands of Telethas in the far south.
 
Political and religious intrigue dominates the kingdoms of the Emerald Basin, which make up the most populous and most affluent cities within Abios. These kingdoms enjoy economical and military superiority, though are often stymied in their quest for expansion by geography and the sheer resilience and determination of the good races in the north.
 
The races of the far southeastern-most nations on the mainland of Abios seek to annihilate all races in favor of their own image. Seeing all other creatures as an abomination, they seek nothing more than to eradicate humankind. They are often kept in check by the superior military forces of the Emerald Basin.
