Synopsis
I would like to welcome you to the mystical land of Voldrune. The year is 825 A.C. or After Cataclysm. A landmass created in the wake of an ancient war amongst gods for the Apex Throne. The dark mountain ranges that rose from the water have since developed into a continent shrouded in the unknown. The epicenter of this battle crested the mysterious Tyvol Swamplands, a vast expanse of thick fog and giant trees that encompass more than a third of Voldrune. Ancient temples to various gods surround a single obsidian mountain that would-be adventurers to this land have given the nickname "Black Dragon Peak" for its jagged shape. Thick black smoke plumes from the peak of the mountain as if a beacon to all. Beyond the Tyvol Swamplands to the north lies the snow covered mountains of Salkir. A vast cave system known to be inhabited by a tribe of Giant men and women hailing from the Kalgareth tribe cuts through the mountains leaving unexplored tunnels abound. Rumor amongst adventurers is that the Giants of Kalgareth protects an untouched temple to the God of Origins and its golden treasures within. Near the center of the continent lies the crystalline waters of the Dintra Lake that acts as a nexus connecting the various biomes that make up this land. Tribes of beastmen are known to live along the lake fighting for dominance in order to lay claim to the spoils hidden within its depths. To the southeast lies the Windskar Plateau, a large expanse of dense grassland that a portion of was recently cultivated and revitalized into the port city of Golgaris. The history of the city is still relatively new as various noble houses and Mercantile groups lay claim to the land. Tension sits at an all time high with adventurers being swindled by the merchants alliance and the heavy taxation of the Noble Houses. Things grew worse however; when a would-be assassin failed to eliminate the Lord Regent overseeing this expeditious city. However, our story begins not here, in this new mystical place. But back in the small village of Ashvane. A simple fishing village that borders the freshwater lake praised as the Cerulean Tear. Here on the known continent of Antoria, resides a beastkin boy with a painful past and big dreams of one day becoming a hero.
