A little over two thousand years ago, refugees from many lands fled a great catastrophe, setting sail across the
Gamanaean Ocean. Some of those reached the Helerin Archipelago, where they built new lives for themselves in these wild islands.
Over time, their descendents forged new nations as they strove against the rugged landscape, monstrous creatures, native peoples, and each other. Exploration, trade, prophecy, and conflict, all shaped the interwoven stories of the new island states as they struggled for survival, security, prosperity, and dominance. Across two millenia, Helerin has seen great kingdoms arise, mighty rulers wield enormous power, and heroes and adventurers perform legendary deeds.
Twenty years ago, another great war saw the fractured realm of
Forbin reunite under a new
Golden King to defeat the tyrant
Yarivona, Queen of
Teros.
Now, with peace restored, the island nations look to their future prospects. Forbin hopes to make good use of its occupation of Teros.
Remon is now a proud and mighty kingdom. The wealthy merchants of
Mar Mabon and the
League of Mar Miskun probe for new openings and advantages, while the
Free Peoples of the Seynan Islands seek to capitalise on their seafaring talents whie maintaining their independence from more powerful neighbours.
As the latest wounds of war begin to heal, new opportunities arise for the strong, the cunning, and the bold.
