Eidos

Eidos is an island continent, who has a short but bloody history. It houses everyone: from the most inventive of dwarves in the north to the savage orcs of the south. It is a land of both horrible mystery and unexpected kindness.

One of the biggest conflicts that shaped the history of the continent was the Rune War.Five-hundred years ago, seven magic stones with immense power were used as catalysts by sorcerers and mages to wage a large scale war that sundered the whole original continent apart. When it all ended, most magic was prohibited. And, so, the Spell-Breakers formed: a group of mage hunters who harvested the power of the Petricite trees, to keep the magic weilders in check. The Spell-Breakers used the wood of this tree with other components known only to them to create a one-of-a-kind metal which had the unique property of absorbing magic, giving them the upper-hand. In a matter of a few years almost all mages were apprehended and confided to the grounds of The College, a place where they could learn and practice magic away from the rest of the world, under the watchful eye of the Spell-Breakers…

Now, the year is 510 and the world of Eidos is once again on the brink of conflict, as rumors about one of the ancient runes being found spread like wild-fire. The Spell-Breakers were quick to act and seized this artifact of immense power, but the resurfacing of this first stone could mean only one thing, the rest of the runes would soon follow. Everyone from the pettiest of villagers to the Council of Staldor is now trying their luck at finding one of these gems of ancient and forbidden power.
