Times are dark, and the world teeters on the edge of chaos.

The world is looking more dangerous with each passing day on this bitter continent. An empire desperately attempts to keep control of its overextended borders, aristocrats plot, and scheme ,and wage war against each other at the cost of thousands of lives in the heartland, ruthless spies murder and steal in plain sight, barbarian nations wage war with themselves and the world, and secret societies twist fate in machinations unknown to the world, as dark things, whose nature is unknown to all, stir deep under the earth.

And in the west, a small band of heroes prepare to shape their world.

It is currently March, 303 AF of the Imperial Calender.
