Ardonia the Second Age

Demia Jovis Maius, 1207 AE

First came to life in 2009.

A fantasy Roman-themed Dungeons & Dragons world.

  Ardonia is a mysterious world long in the making. Magic lies deep in the very essence of existence. The Gods are numerous, fickle, and dangerous. A vast multicultural empire sprawls across the lands, spreading order, power, corruption and decay.   Countless generations of virtually every race have been born and lived their lives under the yoke of the Empire's presence. Though it has always subsumed every culture it has encountered, it has also brought with it powerful laws, world-spanning opportunities, and diverse knowledge.   In such a world there are many who seek either to topple or defend this dominant ordering of society. Power to amass vast fortunes or control whole nations exists within the confines of the Empire. For some this is unconscionable, tormented by the destruction of their once proud and unique peoples. For others, it is an opportunity to earn their name and find their place in history.   The ruins of countless nations dot the vast and varied lands of Ardonia. Stories beyond recount and lost to time live in every step of this world. What is new was once old, and what is long forgotten may once again return.
