History of Cordas

In ancient history, the Myconid worshipped a god of life and death, whose name is lost to us. They believed that their life came from the death of others. It was part of their religious rite of fertility to sacrifice people from other races. The Myconids built a vast empire across southern Cordas and conquered many other peoples.   However, following decades of droughts and bad harvests and the deforestation of their homeland, the Myconids numbers began to decline. In response, the Myconids began to sacrifice more and more people and other living beings. It is said their streets ran red with the blood of millions but it did not help.   Then one day the Myconids captured an elven princess. Believing her sacrifice would be pleasing to their god, the Myconids filled the elven princess with spores and bathed her in the rancid blood of the millions they'd killed. As she was submerged the princess cast a powerful curse on Myconid people.   As soon as the princess was fully submerged in the blood the sky went dark and it finally began to rain. The Myconids began to rejoice but then their cheers turned into screens as blight and rot spread across their mushroom bodies. Corpses emerged from the blood cauldrons across their great city and began to feast upon the living. Finally, the elven princess, Princess Morbus emerged, transformed and empowered.

The Bright Lord rules from Tal'nova over all Cordas

A strange and very deadly new plague begins to spread in the Boroughs. It begins in the halfling village of Beaverbrook and quickly spreads through the region.

In the early hours of the morning, the city of Onxyburg collapses into a giant sinkhole.    Within minutes the entire city is no more.    With no one left who can unite the falling Republic, the land falls into anarchy.    The Republic of Onxyburg is no more.

The Adventure Club joins La Honte and his army as they face the Plague Titan and Undead Halfling horde at the Ruby Horde.    Brand opens a portal to the fire plane and unleashes a firestorm against the horde. Meanwhile, Adelaide tries to unlock the secrets of the Celestial Firefly.    A great inferno wyrm breaks through the portal and does battle with the titan. The titan beats it and eats it.    Using this as a distraction the Adventure Club manage to get on the back of the titan, fight their way to its head and destroy it from the inside.    The Adventure Club disappear in the explosion of light and are presumed dead.

The Adventure Club had been captured by the Herald of Morbus and brought to the ritual chamber where the last of the Cultist of Morbus worked to summon their goddess into a captured elven girl.   Felda Felda and Don were able to use their summoned holy light to break their prisons and secretly escape during the ritual.   Eallwix arrived and confronted the Herald for starting the ritual without her.   The Adventure Club take advantage of the distraction and manage to rescue the elven girl, the lantern of Hygia and escape.    They also destroy Eallwix with the storm in a jar.    Adelaide enables the Adventure Club to escape with a Shadow Portal. The group arrive in the ruins of Onyxburg. They do not have time to investigate and return to Aelswith in Taal's Horn, via the bridge of Shadows.    That night Aelswith tries to cure the girl who unbeknownst to the group was deeply infected with Morbus blight. Aelswith is forced to kill the girl when she is attacked but is inflected with Malichor.
