[QUOTE="Nylkran, post: 9477287, member: 7047564"] [B]Starting Lore[/B] Bastion, the shining beacon of human civilization, stands proudly at the southwestern edge of the continent, a vibrant tapestry woven of architectural marvels, bustling markets, and diverse neighborhoods. Above it all, stands the mighty Citadel, a fortress that symbolizes Bastion's strength and resilience through the ages. To the northwest of Bastion in the Dragon Graveyards, live the Dragonfolk, a nomadic people who create temporary villages among the ancient dragon bones they excavate. They live in harmony with their Kobold cousins, united by shared bloodlines and common respect and veneration for the dragons of old. Far to the north, beneath towering frozen peaks, lies Voth Tur, the dwarven stronghold. Here, all dwarven clans, save for the exiled Duergar, have a place in the great council that rules this underground realm. According to Dwarven lore, this is the birthplace of beer, whiskey, gunpowder, cannons, firearms... A realm of unparalleled wealth so rich that its throne is forged from Horacalcum. To the east, Barthgamul, the capital of the Kingdom of Jadraal. To some, it is a utopia—a testament to the potential for redemption and unity. To others, it is an abomination that defies the natural order. Where Noble Goblins, strive to build a society that transcends the darker stereotypes of their kin. Across the ocean is the island home of the Kyozen Empire. At the foot of a sacred mountain, the Tengu have built an empire. This city has stood as a testament to Tengu's endurance, culture, and ambition. They gaze westward, seeking to expand their influence beyond their island shores. In this world of shifting allegiances and ancient rivalries cultures and races, driven by ambition, survival, and the quest for power, find themselves on a collision course. The fate of Bastion rests upon adventurers, heroes, and villains whose choices will shape the future. From the ashes of old orders, a new chapter will be written.
