Kaodi
Legend
Hmmm...
The scene is set in the twilight of the last great eladrin empire of a world. Asmodeus has just supplanted his divine patron as the god and ruler of the realm that shall be known afterwards as Hell. While the empire still maintains a bright facade, the cracks and wear are clear for everyone to see, not just in the buildings and roads, but in the spirits of the people. Under the assault of the victorious devils, both overt and covert, the eladrin in some places have begun their retreat back into the Feywild. The nearby human nation, sometime ally and sometime enemy, has bowed down at the feet of the fiends and been rewarded, and the taint has spread to many eladrin in the core of the empire. There are rumours that some of the humans have begun to take on strange features, but so far the claims are not backed up by evidence.
The game begins in a small forest city or town in the greatest wilderness region of the empire. While there is a strong eladrin presence here, the majority of the population is made up of their more wordly cousins, the elves. Also, scattered about are a few roaming bands of halflings who have been driven from their ancestral lands by the encroachment of a hostile human nation. The taint has begun to take a hold here, and with each passing year each community becomes more and more of an island unto itself, menaced by both an increasingly hostile and alien wilderness and the vanguard of the devil worshippers. There is still great promise in this land, but without heroes, it will, in time, fade into darkness.
