The Mortal Kingdoms

You have arrived in a Strange and Dangerous place

The Mortal Kingdoms have a long and ancient history. Deities have been and gone, and titanic stuggles between immortals and creatures worthy of myth have faded into obscurity.

Life in the mortal kingdoms is short and brutal. Common folk live in superstition, wary of who or what might lurk just off the beaten path. Nobles plot and scheme, arguing over petty matters of coin, power and belief, all the while oblivious to ancient forces that might stir and plunge the realm into chaos after eons of slumber.

Somewhere in all of this is you.

You live in the Mortal Kingdoms, maybe among it's peoples, maybe amongst the wilds. Your wisdom of the world depends greatly on your origins. Were you born in the blistering heat of Kharathi? Or a into a noble house of Bankei? Or prehaps a nomadic tribe from the Elderlands?

In a world where travel is considered a fools errand, you are what common-folk would call a Seeker - quite literally someone looking for something. What is that you seek? Coin? Vengeance? Knowledge? Or something long lost prehaps?

Who you are, what drives you and where you hail from is just the beginning of your story here. Hope, horror and forgotten secrets lie around every corner, and it's up to you to summon enough courage to stray from the path, to test chance, and to risk it all for what your heart yearns for.
