The Last War

The Last War ravaged the continent of Khorvaire , turned allies into enemies and destroyed an entire nation.

It began when the once-unified kingdom of Galifar split into The Five Nations, eventually spawning a bitter struggle for continental control. It was a century marked by shifting alliances, periods of cold-war stalemates and intense battles and death. The grueling conflict left deep scars on the land and the people, but was nothing compared to The Mourning. The nation of Cyre was suddenly hit by a holocaust of grey fog and twisted magic. The mist spread quickly until it stopped exactly at the edge of the Cryan border. More than a million died in that single Day of Mourning . No one knows what caused the mourning, or how to stop it from happening again; Fear brought the nations to the negotiating table and a treaty was finally signed.

At the beginning of this campaign two years have passed, the peace is tenuous, and the continent is more divided than before the war. Although many celebrated the end of the war, there was no winner and control of the continent is still unsettled. People optimistically refer to it as “The Last War”, but distrust between nations continues to rise and most believe that it’s only a matter of time until conflict begins again. Meanwhile, refugees from the defunct Cyre are without a home, and the war’s end has left the Warforged without a purpose. While others struggle to survive, the Dragonmarked Houses emerged from the war even stronger, more powerful than any nation.
