[QUOTE="Bugbear, post: 127071, member: 503"] Well, here are some of the notes I have so far. Most of this was written before I posted this thread. Generations ago the land was ruled by five great nations. These nations were divided by Ideology and hated one another. Even though the Five nations would have liked nothing better than to distroy each other, the world knew peace and prosperity. They knew that if one of them moved to strike against one of the others, that they themselves would be distroyed. --- Noone knows who gave the order, who it was that struck the first blow. It doesn't matter. Once the Great War began nothing could stop it. Millions died in the first few hours. Entire cities were reduced to steaming slag by powerful magics. Feilds and forest were burned and spoiled. Vast armies marched, slaughtering all they encountered. The carnage of the Great War was unliek anything any could imagine. --- Within a week the the war ground to a halt. Billions were dead and the Goverments of the Five Nations collapsed. Famine and Pestilence stalked the land. Winter came six months early, and lasted for almost a year. The once proud and enlightened Civilizations of the Five Nations were reduced to Savage Barbarism. --- Two Hundred Years Later... The peoples of Cairnheim slowly rebuild, pulling back from the brink of extinction. The people huddle together in shanty-towns and ruined cities. Food and Clean water are scarce. Raiders prey on any who are to weak to defend themselves. Horrors born from the Great war sprowl the wastes and shattered cities. The Gods, for the most part have abandoned the world, and those which remain are crewl and Capricious. Cairnheim is a land of little hope, where death could come at any momment, be it from a sword, from starvation, or the invisible taint which poisions the wastes. [/QUOTE]
