Brief History Stories tell of the defeat of the demon king Orcus, but such accounts are not clear on just how he was defeated. Some say he waged war on the gods themselves, others say he was defeated by a group of adventurers, and others still say that he was defeated by a group of mercenaries led by a vampire. One thing is certain, he was defeated, slain, and he fell from the heavens, creating the Blighted Lands. Upon Orcus's fall, creation started to separate from other planes of existence, torn away. Elves and Elladrin saw that this was happening and they retreated to the Feywild before it was completely gone. Magic had left the world, and people had no clue what to do now that their livelihood had been taken away. This is about one thousand years later. Nonhuman races had significantly changed. Without the magic to reinforce their nonhuman appearance, they slowly over time began to resemble humans. And with this came interbreeding. Soon most races save for the savage ones to the north, and a select few that lived on the islands were “human.” Various genetic traits still stuck around within the races, along with legends, but for the most part they were human. After a great Dark Age, technological advancement happened. Steam powered ships, locomotives, and other inventions made life easier for the populous. Religion had changed significantly. Though the old gods still existed, a new god, a new religion came to be. This god was known as the Overdeity, and he encompassed all belief. It was through the Overdeity that the Religious Empire formed. However, disagreements between how the Overdeity was to be worshiped led to a schism, and both sides warred over the lands that were between them. Both lands have changed hands so often that they owe allegiance to either one, both, or neither. It was due to this war that guns and cannons have been developed. Recently, within the past three generations, magic has started to return to the world. And both the old gods and the Overdeity have started to intervene with the world through clerics and paladins. Creatures that were only told of in legends have started to appear in the wild, and the Blighted Lands have started to expand. The Feywild has reconnected to Creation on two points, one, an Island where Elves have decided to settle, and the other in a Mountainous country that no one dares to invade. |
