Chiron: World of the Blackheart Spire

The World of Chiron is a fractured land. Where once a vast Empire covered much of the lands, two hundred and fifty years ago that empire fell when their Emperor and armies vanished in a single mysterious moment. With the Empire of Nerath now gone for two centuries, the world has fallen into a dark age. The Peoples and Lands left behind by the collapse of the old Empire struggle to survive, many praying to the gods for safety in these dangerous times. Several organizations vie for power in the husks of ancient cities, and without, many Foes skirt the poorly guarded borders of the ragged civilized lands. It is into this world that brave adventurers stride, seeking fame and fortune in forgotten ruins, facing roving hordes in distant fields of battle, and bringing the light of civilization back to the wilds. Dark things lurk still at the edges of the known world, and ancient evils wait for another chance to shatter what little peace is left and to plunge the last few remaining specks of light into the darkness. So Be wary adventurer, for the wick of the world is burning still.
