The Story Thus Far...
As adventurers reveal more of the primary story, it will be revealed here for all to see. . .
An ancient evil has corrupt all that once was good.
Four and three-quarters millenia have passed since the mages of a once powerful and dark order awoke the demon Gorull. It took little time for Gorull to enter the hearts and minds of men, and turn their plans to his ends. The least of the least was swayed to follow and obey Gorull - and for his servitude - the gift of an unnatural lifetime of lifetimes ruling the Realms. The lowest representative in the least House of all the Realms arrived at his current station as High King through death and deceit! In ancient days Prosperity for all the Realms Peoples was once assured - now only poverty and famine can be counted on century after century. During antiquity the Treaties between all the Realms Kingdoms were upheld - now only war and sabotage are the tools of pitiful statesmen. A long forgotten Peace among all the Realms Races was celebrated - now only murder and hatred interweave the weakening races. An illusory and fabled Unity of all the Realms Houses protected freedom - now only deceit and strife divide once mighty lineage into thinned bloodlines. Where Understanding of arcane arts unlocked secrets to command the universe - now all that remains are simple spells of clowning conjurers. Where Mastery of heroic feats were heralded by bards - now basic knowledge of mundane tasks are more than mere mortals care to comprehend. Where Forging of legendary armories birthed legions of legends - now earthen elements are battered into basic weapons and armor yielding little protection. Where Hoarding of ancient relics for protection and study preserved history - now all record of the past is lost as a memory of a dream fades at the dawn. However, one Order has remained intact, uncorrupt, and steady through the ages of the High King's illegitimate rule. While Gorull plans the weakness of the Realms to result in their ultimate destruction, one Order understands the unique opportunity to turn the tide. That Order seeks discontented backwaters of the Realms for Adventurers who would heed the call to rise and bring forth new life to dying legends. Adventurers who would work to put right all that has gone so horridly wrong across the Realms. Adventurers who would uncover the lost bloodlines and rebuild the innumerable Houses that once ruled the Realms. Adventurers who would reunite and strengthen the races where hostile relations now exist between those who once ruled together over the Realms. Adventurers who would work by cryptic and covert means with the Order to subvert the mysterious plans of the enemies own dark alliances. Adventurers who would withstand and suppress the onslaught of the enemies supporting allies as the Realms draw nearer to unifying the Houses once again. Adventurers who would embolden people to rise against tyranny however frightening the decaying Realms may have become in these sinister and hostile times. Adventurers who would overthrow a false and unnaturally sustained dynasty by any means necessary even at the great cost of laying down their life for the Realms. Adventurers who would replace the foul and oppressive throne with a trustworthy and upright round table of cooperation. Adventurers who would unite the Realms in Prosperity, Treaty, Peace, and Unity once again! |
