The island of Alagaesia is located south of the Moonshae Islands. A quiet island with good trade and diplomatic relations with neighboring islands and the Sword Coast in general. Alagaesia prospered under the rule of the Regis family especially the more recent generations. Alas, this era of peace had to come to an end. A shadow has crept over Alagaesia bringing the rule of the Regis family to an end. The King suddenly disappeared one day and a shady individual rose to power. The Black King never showed his face but the change in Alagaesia could not go unnoticed. Creatures that only made an appearance at night or i the wilderness now come out in broad daylight attacking the main roads and settlements. The people live in constant fear and the new King doesn't seem to do anything about it, far from it in fact. He pulled the Guard in the capital city and left the people to fend the creatures of the night on their own. Soon after Orcs, Goblins, Drow, Kobolds and Tieflings started appearing in cities, villages and settlements. Since the Royal Guard was pulled back these Darker races started assuming power in the Kingdom. Before long Alagaesia became a place where the High Races (Humans, Dwarves and Elves) fell from their favorable position and became subservient of the Dark Races and the Creatures of the night. Humans especially reached a new low when the Black King recruited Orcs, Drow and Goblins in the Royal Guard's ranks. Synosh became a dark place where Humans suffer under the King's rule. Now Humans that still remain in Synosh do what they can to survive joining the Black Kings ranks or serving the new regime in whatever way they can.
