Akrae'is
1666 in Torelvin's Era
Under a crystalline blue sky, a tower stands at the peak of a mountain. Inside, a wizard intones a spell to reach across planes. A portal opens before them and the wizard walks through.
In a village at the base of the mountain, a militia practices fighting in unison. They prepare to protect their home from the monsters that lurk in the wilds between cities. A duty they will lay down their lives to serve.
A beautiful river, banked by forests and plains, winds from the village to the capital city of a nation, where a bustling market sees a vendor offering a young couple a discount on a tiger cub. Nearby, a pair of street youths tussle over a stolen loaf of bread. In an alley, a cutpurse threatens a weaver into giving up their purse.
A palace looms large over the city. In its walls, a chancellor looks for a way for her people to prosper while an advisor schemes for greater power.
A beautiful temple of the Gods welcomes parishoners, feeding the hungry and sheltering the weary. Clerics wander between nations, fostering the teachings of the Gods across Akrae'is.
All the while, a dragon soars across the sky, its bright scales glittering in the sunlight.
Here is a place where the fantastic and the mundane are inextriable.
Here is a place of destiny and heroes, of villains and fate.
Here is a place of adventure.
