Draconis Prime

“The land is rebuilding after the great cataclysm that sundered the Old World, over two thousand years ago, when the arrogance of the peoples of Draconis decided to begin hunting the gods. To punish their hubris the “Gods of the Old World” rent the plane apart, cast societies into the dark ages, and destroyed the foul creations of these wicked peoples. For centuries the gods and their follower’s scoured existence to hunt and destroy any last vestiges of the Old World so that it might be restarted anew. After this long war, the Gods of Old gave up their power and consigned themselves into oblivion. Angry and bitter at the failures of both their followers and of themselves.”   “After having suffered two millennia of rocky starts, warlords, and near destruction, the world is finally emerging from the dark ages and spreading their hegemony anew. Now having moved beyond just a collection of bickering towns and city states, nations are beginning to form once again giving rise to society and culture. These newly birthed empires are rising up and competing, hoping to become the new world power that would give them the edge that they need to grow further.”   “But all is not well, many of the monsters that once roamed the land have merely been pushed out from the fringes of society, waiting for their chance to strike. The ruins of an old world still cling around them, full of horrors, dangers, and treasures untold. In the intervening two thousand years, empires have rose and fallen, doting the landscapes with their old fortresses and mysteries. The world is still a dangerous place to exist but it is better now than it has been in a long time.”   “New gods have taken up custodianship of the world, three great empires are consolidating power, and many of the lost lands are beginning to be rediscovered once more. The peoples of Draconis are finding each other again, though different, each of them have tales of the great calamity that befell the world and have come to share at least some commonalities from this woe. The most recent return is that of the great Council of Wyrms which still hold onto some of the secrets of the Old World, although they guard such knowledge with bitter jealousy.”   “The world is ripe with opportunity and adventure, it is these tales that our heroes have heard spun. There is an eagerness among the explorers of the world to go forth to find what was lost, to find something new, and to find a way to make their mark upon this world. Wealth and danger, fame and peril, glory and loss. Perhaps if our heroes are smart enough, brave enough, or just plain lucky, they too might have a tale spun about their deeds to pass onto the next generation.”
