Dragon Marches

The world has ended, and to the last bastion of civilization Drakkenfall, it's at risk of ending again.   Over a thousand years ago, the Cataclysm brought ruin to the realm of mortals. In a single war, in a moment of fatal decision, and in a blink of a mortal's eye, an age of wonders came to an end. Countless innocents died and civilizations untold were destroyed. The face of the world was reshaped, and the gods themselves faded from memory into myth, and myth into legend. The only protection between mortals and the arcane destruction before them were bastions of order and law, the dragons, who shielded the last survivors of the land with both their physical form and magical essence. Through ages of struggle, the people of this land survived, but the world isn't what it was. Those nations that remain linger in the shadows of their ancestors’ wonders. Only slowly have they begun to push back centuries of darkness and rediscover how the world has changed.   The city of Drakkenfall led by the Grand Alliance, a triumverate of surviving cultures who united at the Cataclysm's final battle below the city's border, faces an escalating crisis of it's own. Overpopulation, political tension, and diminishing resources eat away inside of The Greatest City In This Or Any Age's walls. Everything the realm's lords and their ancestors built and cultivated is now on the precipice of collapse. For as long as their citizens can remember, excursions outside of the walls of the city were kept to a minimum and only to the most experienced warriors and survivalists of the citadel. With desperation mounting however, a dire ruling has been enacted by the Alliance for the prosperity of their people.   Adventerers of all backgrounds and skillsets have been harried from across the city districts to lead an excursion into the unknown. An adventurers guild tasked with frontier combat, study of flora and fauna, expansion of the Drakfallian civilization, and outside exploration within the realm unknown. They venture into a land of ruins and fallen societies overtaken by nature and remnants of calamity. They journey into a land built across the bones of fallen titans, one their ancestors would never recognize.   They heed forth into the Dragon Marches.
