Zaslaidan

Continent where it all takes place! And the only continent in existence because I haven't created the others yet! So what can we say about the only continent currently in existence? Well, lets say its dangerous. Continent was home to a great human empire but was abandoned about 200 years ago after the devastation and has only been re-inhabited in the last 50 years. Want to know more about that "devastation" or its history in general? Check the timeline on Awan's main page. Past that roll a history check ;) Despite only having 50 years of re-settlement the continent is reasonably well populated and built up. Once it was accepted that the "devastation" had ended free peoples of every race FLOODED to the continent seeking new possibilities! Some were independent people or families who wanted a new start on life free of old hardships, some were settlers sent by governments seeking to expand their territories, some were groups sent by companies who want to use the land's raw materials, and of course some were adventurers, bandits, thieves, and others who saw the unbridled potential for wealth in a suddenly available, new land teeming with new peoples. Peoples from nearly every race have come to the continent. Dwarves and Dragonborn arrived first and have been here the longest - want to know why? Roll another history check ;) Ok, all of that sounds fine, but why is the continent dangerous? Because it was uninhabited by sentient races for 200 years!! Well, 150, technically, but that's not important. What is important is that "nature" has had one-and-half centuries to reclaim what was taken from her; the lands are WILD! I say "nature" because in the D&D world true "natural" beasts and lifeforms are not the only native inhabitants anymore. The more...unnatural forms of life have also had one-and-half centuries to strengthen and grow. All of the old roads and villages have been completely reclaimed by "nature." Only the most impressive of structures and cities remain. Because people from nearly every race and nation have settled on the continent its not COMPLETELY wild. Still, the new roads and trails are dangerous and those who wander off of them are usually never seen again. Most everyone carries some form of self defense when outside the walls of a city or settlement - even children. That's enough words! If you STILL want to know more about the lands you can check the map or just ask a NPC! See you in game!
