Fear gnaws at Milandir’s people, and they begin to lose hope.To the south, the once mighty Coryani Empire sleeps under an indifferent ruler, while it’s greatest general bides his time, waiting to seize the throne for his own noble house. The Imperial Court looks on like a flock of carrion crows, ready to pick apart the corpse of the land.    The besieged Patriarch of Coryan works tirelessly to reconcile the beliefs of a dozen splinter sects, each one warring upon the others and poised to tear down the Mother Church itself. Everywhere the speakers for the gods look heavenward for guidance, and hear nothing… but silence.    The scions of the great noble houses harken to the blood of the ancient Valinor in their veins, blood that bids them to serve the gods by ruling the rest of humanity. Plots born from an ancient treachery begins to reach fruition in the present machinations of emperors and kings.    All over the continent of Onara, strife threatens to tear the nations of man apart.It’s like the end of the world……And the beginning of a new.Welcome to Arcanis, the World of Shattered Empires    Arcanis is a world of high fantasy, intrigue and suspense. Diplomacy, skill, and discretion will carry you as far or farther than skill at arms or in the arts of magic. Heroes come in a myriad of forms. Some are fantastic beings born with the blood of Valinor or the souls of elementals. Others are descendents of Celestial Giants who once roamed the stars as freely as a fish swims the sea. Many of the greatest heroes of Arcanis are simple mortals of mundane blood but lofty ideals. It is a world of heroes who stand between the common folk and destruction. You can be that hero. The power is in your hands; leave your mark upon the Shattered Empires.Used with the express permission of Paradigm Concepts, Inc.
