In a recently (as in only a  few 1oo years ago) settled continent where medicine and magic caused  the masses to live healthier and longer but birth control was unheard of  until recently, the few cities have become a nightmare to live in. When humans, gnomes, halflings, dwarfs, orcs, gnolls, kobolds,  goblinoids, lizardmen,  and a few elves arrived on the continent they  called New Light, they thought they had escaped overpopulation for a few  1000 years. They hoped to spread all over the continent, deal with the  dangers, adapt to the environment and, eventually, adapt the environment  to them as their people had done on other continents. But they had not  counted on the ingenious population. The fey folk, feline Mrrengar tribes, the musteloid Nehgie clans and the  rat-like Nezumi nations were prepared for the new arrivals. As they  could not make them turn back nor had the desire to kill them, they  allowed each of the 10 races their own small area to settle, plus 3  areas where those who preferred to mix with other races could go. The  native races, governed by a druid circle, wrongly thought that the new  settlers would use their resources well and govern their own numbers.  But nothing of the sort happened. Not only did they multiply as they  used to, those settlements reachable by ship received more settlers from  their home continent over time. The settlements developed into giant cities barely controllable by their  governments and full of intrigues and crime. against the wishes of the  druid circle, some large roads were build to allow for better trade. A  few smaller villages and strongholds, illegal outposts in the eyes of  the druids, appeared as well. The first skirmishes between the New  Nations, as they now called themselves, and the Old Nations happened,  and eventually, it came to wars, and the New Nations also started  squabbling among each other again. A few decades ago, the Nezumi vanished almost over night. While the  other native races were in uproar over it, the New Nations took it as a  sign of their gods to claim the whole land. The exploration of the  continent has thus started in all seriousness, and capable adventurers  to do the task and root out the ever present ancient evil in the process  are always welcome.</blockquote>
