Men obey to the Overlord's rule as they fear his dark forces.
It is now the 50th year of Ajax’s rule. Few now remember Good King Omand, remember a time when the roads were safe and men feared not the forests. Men obey to the Overlord's rule as they fear his dark forces, even though one may go a year or more without ever seeing the terrifying sight of the Korraj. But the Overlord sends out his Hawkriders to remind the people who their master is. Omand is dead, and with him died any semblance real of justice and law. The Barons who once swore fealty to him now fight to maintain control of the lands immediately around their keeps and castles. The forest exerts its power, swallowing village and hamlet. Brigands and slavers abound!
