The Warforgers

You live in the World of Alms Furth. Every city or village is surrounded by high walls, behind which you most likely grew up. The wild world outside is teeming with horrors, from the Undead Legions of the Necrodom to rampaging Barbarian Orc Tribes to simple bandits looking to profit from your corpse. The lands are dotted with the ruins of empires long since lost to memory. The crafting of magical artifacts has become a long-lost art. The only places to find such rare treasures are the dark and ruined corners of the world. Monsters infest the land. Many adventurers have set out beyond the walls of their homes, few ever return, the lucky bring back riches and glory.

The Necrodom

The Necrodom is an ancient Empire of Undeath located beyond the eastern mountain range. The Necroking, as old as the empire itself, is a cursed and feared name in the western mortal lands. They have ruled for 10,000 years or more. Much of their machinations remain unseen, their influence only subtly felt—until the Culling begins. Every 5 to 10 years, Necropoli fly over the eastern mountains and descend upon the mortal lands, laying waste to villages and leaving behind corpses carved with dark sigils, their victims' souls stripped away.

The Holy Resistance

The Holy Resistance is the only military force actively opposing the Necrodom. Much of the small city-states do little more than hide behind their walls. During Cullings, refugees flood into them, overwhelming these city-states. The Resistance is led by Grand Marshal of the Light Abbas Noor . The Holy Resistance is the only military force with the power and capability to repel the Necrodom's incursions. Pullum Rex, Lord of the Kingdom of Naboombu, has recently begun integrating the city-states with the Resistance , though these new alliances are still experiencing growing pains.

The Schema

Kildrak Morgrain has long sought a way to overthrow the Necroking. He witnessed firsthand the ritual slaughter of his family to fuel the Necrodom's power. With his dying breath, Kildrak's grandfather urged him to seek out the Dragon Heart's Forge. Lost along the way, Kildrak discovered his long-lost cousin, Vissord Mograin, trapped inside an Undead Construct. After their escape, they encountered a Night Hag, dissatisfied with the Necroking's rule over the empire. She directed Kildrak to a long-forgotten ruin known as the Ancient Byways . There, he uncovered many secrets, most notably an Ancient Schema detailing the creation of new Warforged. With this knowledge, he believes he can forge an army resistant to the effects of undeath, capable of overthrowing the Necroking once and for all. Setting out with his cousin Vissord Morgrain, Kildrak sought the aid of The Holy Resistance, hoping to find allies for his revolution. After much effort, he translated the Warforged Schema and learned what was needed to begin the downfall of the Necrodom.

Your Role

You are either a member of The Holy Resistance or someone Kildrak encounters during his travels. Alongside Kildrak and others, you will seek out the artifacts required to craft Warforged once more.
