From Gaea’s trembles they rise
A tide of darkness, old not wise
The skies will darken, creatures howl
The end of all, all befouled
Before the Chaos can conspire
To doom all life with its desire
The Maiden will come with Light
To dispel the Darkness and the Night
With her she brings The Seer
Warning her of trouble near
Speaking of the yet unknown
Where to seek the dangers sown
But two alone is not enough
So with them: Her Guards, gruff
Magi, wrought with magic strong
And Thieves to right the wrong
Her Counsel words of wisdom brings
Of paths to choose and other things
The Bard, The Beggar follow too
Writing, watching, worlds anew
Even The Fool will be along
To keep all merry with song
For as the times grow ever dark
The spirit of humanity is the spark.
– Excerpt from “The Prophecy”, epic poem by the ancient Seer Caliteh. Widely studied and known to some degree in modern culture, it is now generally regarded as the Seer’s one false prophecy.
The World
Gaea is a world much like Earth, only magic and monsters abound. Humans live with Elves, Dwarves, Halfings, Half-orcs, and all manner of other creatures, many of which are much less common than Humans. There are kingdoms throughout the world; certainly there are wars. Sometimes they are between the so-called ‘good’ races, the ones aligned with Humans and Elves. Other times those of the ‘evil’ races - Orcs, Goblins, Shadowspeakers, and more - will strike against the human claimed territories, but they are driven back to the mountains and caves they live in. There has not been a great war with the evil races in some time; in fact, all nations have been quite peaceful of late.
Our story begins in the human kingdom of Erl, a vast expanse that covers the majority of its continent. Land of all climates are within its borders, along with most sorts of races who at the very least tolerate the rule of the human king. The northernmost reaches of which reach the Malspun Mountains, the place where good folk do not go.
