Abaddon
A world on the brink of war. Everyone just has not noticed it yet... Great powers are marshalling their forces without the populace's knowledge and hidden in the shadows enemies prepare their blades to strike, this world has been in peace too long; the people in charge do not know how to defend the defenceless, and they will suffer for it.
But our story starts not with the world's problems, not even the continent's problem, barely even the kingdom's problem. This story begins in a medium-sized town called Rochdale close to the eastern border of the small kingdom of Charinvale, the world's breadbasket.
A place of mills and harvest by the summer and autumn, pelt trading by the winter and planting by the spring.
