The world of Kalln'dan....
The world is easily divivde into 2 major continents, with several smaller ones, and various isle speckling the rest of the sea.
the West continent Relandar Major is more tropical in the far south and as you make your way northward, it becomes tundra, frozen ground for any number of feet. in between lies the the thick mountaineous forset isd'gar, much of it un charted as any trade is usually done by way of the vast seas.
The East Continent Hy'dgar's north varies in climate from mild winters to humid summers. the middle is vast desert of obsidian sand, said to be haunted the desert mortalis is a dangerous, and daunting task for anyone who dare cross it. on the south is the ruins of a city that wars desimated. most of the city was rebuilt right over the old one each time, and it now inhabited by humans, many hidden treasures await any adventurer who braves the out dated sewer systems, to find these caches.
The Island Slyvandrei lies between the two major continents, the birth place of the mystical elvan races lies in a tree town in the south.
The mountains of the north house the Frost dwarves, they call there home the Gods Staircase, a frozen mountain pass is the only way in or out. (or so the dwarves claim) but many rumors of secret tunnels leading as far south as the elvan borders are whispered around the world.
Things you need to know:
Three Major Wars have devide the Epochs(times) for the races of this world the 1st Kindred Wars, took place near 750 years ago, and thats the first time the city of Kadazar was destroyed. every race particpated, and none begrudgingly, all sought the same glory, eventually they all made pacts with the races inhabiting the same continents, ex Slyvandrei: Dwarves and Elves. Relandar: lizards, and orc. and Hy'dgar joined the humans with a race of aquatic elves, and halflings such as kender etc.
The second 350 years ago, was a war between each respective continent, No one bothers to call it much other than "The Second" it was too short for most to remeber, the humans got greedy, and began to war, and thats when the armies of the "dark races" seized there chance to attempt the world, which led right into the Third.
The third was 347-100 years ago. refered to as the Spirit Wars, fought by the living against the damned, all races united, and defeated the liches, and vampyres of the damed in the desert mortails, The vast expanse of the desert is said to be charred black because of an explosive device made by the dwarves that, elvan magic detonated to end the war and mar the face of the world.
Only recently have most communities begun to re-establish themselves. eastablishing sea-born trade routes, as well as inter-continental.
up until a few months ago this world had sustaind relative peace, but now all races grow weary of each other, each debating how grand a scale their involvment was in the war, and all seeking to have their name associated with the finishing of it.
its up to the adventurers to decide this fate, lead them further into yet another war, or travel to the various races, and be a shinning example, of, and credit your race.
Distant rumors, made by drunks, and war vets, (no credible source) say the armies of damned are gathering again in the desert mortalis.
RACES: I will allow any race you think you can effetively play, (any D&D, LoTR, etc) I want a level of realisim, if enough people are Intrested, I will make two adventure groups one evil and one good in which case you can have one character from each spectrum.
For now only worry about a good one (unless you PM me specifically)
Past that make your entrance into the Tavern of Trials End (TTE) at Ferendell in North Hy'dgar.
The bar is two levels upper level is rooms, a stable to the east. and the only personal are waitress, a bar/inn keep, and a stable hand. five round tables adorn the bar one full of a party drinking, and one man sits at the bar.
BTW any questions, just post in this thread so if someone has it, I only have to answer it once. as far as special requests go, as long as its not HUGE, you should be good if it is PM me, I'll see what I can do. also this is second to LoC so please expect delays as LoC is runnin hot.
HAVE AT IT!
