Creeping Shadows

650 years ago, the South was split from the northern part of the continent. With the help of the Gods, a Queen became Empress, and kingdoms became an Empire. Contact with the north is extremely limited, and the dwarves and elves of the Empire live within it, yet apart from it. In the Adhar mountains that split the Empire they dwell, friendly but cautious.   The Empire has been stable for centuries, yet recently shadows seem to be gathering, conflicts seem to be breaking out from nowhere - leading nowhere. The Necromancer Theirastra and her long-dead group Lór Estel warned of a shadow fiend, someone - or something - stirring up chaos for reasons unknown. Now she too has disappeared, suffering defeat at the hands of unlikely heroes as she herself had succombed to the dark.
