The year... Is 2719 IC. Two hundred years since the infamous cataclysm which consumed the Old World. What is known now as The Rapture, had ripped both valiant heroes as well as wretched villains from reality itself. Empires of robust civilizations have lost their formidable leaders they sought for guidance, while warbands of grotesque origin lost powerful warlords who held their inglorious gathering together. Such a catastrophe was inexplainable, not even the most masterful of mages or scryers could discern an answer to why. For the last two centuries, the Old World succumbed into disarray. Factions by the hundreds are scattered about, all claiming to be the ones who will brave this New World. Yet nothing of great notice has been achieved since then, as paranoia, deception, & greed have stunted many ambitious attempts. The New World has proven to be a challenge beyond comprehensive measure to all who remains. Though it may seem that dark times have come to reign, this age has proven true to be where new legends arise.
