My Pathfinder campaign started a few weeks ago and is set in the world of Greyhawk 589 CY. The campaign began in the (small) city of Orred, located in the Marchlands of Rauxes, in the United Kingdom of Ahlissa.
Several weeks ago, some disaster, some say a curse, befell the Capital City of Rauxes, just 30 miles west of Orred. Some say that the Overking, Ivid V, who was rumored to consort with foul other-worldly creatures (Demons, Devils, both??), was the cause of the event. No one knows for certain, but a great magical event took place in Rauxes. A magical explosion of light illuminated the night sky for miles. No one is known to have come from the Rauxes since.
With the loss of Ivid, the “Mad Overking,” and the Capital (Rauxes), the nation formally known as “The Great Kingdom of Aerdy,” strained by war, corruption, and madness, descended into chaos. Orred is currently under martial law. Soldiers have mobilized to secure the city and areas just outside the city.
Immediately after the events in Rauxes, towns, villages outside of Rauxes, including Orred, were plagued by some magical effect. Strange and terrible creatures teleported into the city and attacked anyone nearby. The teleporting monsters don’t occur quite as frequently as they did in the first few days after the event but still occur.
The Party (1st level):
-Aeya, the Half Elven Ranger. She has close ties to the Elves of the Grandwood and despises Orcs.
-Aesun, the Human Monk. His mentor was a Suel Monk, originally from the Scarlet Brotherhood, who was mysteriously assassinated several weeks ago.
-Shard, the secretive Human Psion, who speaks with a strange accent and only admits to fleeing from "the South."
-Krono, the eccentric Human Oracle, who was raised by Halfings.
All but Shard are from Orred. The Party mey by chance encounter when shadow hounds appeared and attacked the city market.
