Hertrend

The Ebon Coast sits on the western face of the Hertrend continent. Dotted among its varied landscapes are cities; connected by well worn roads, canals and rivers.   To the north lay the frigid wastelands skirted by ‘The Howling Walls’, a mountain range that cuts the Ebon Coast off from the rest of the northern side of the continent. To the east, the Aelan sea, known for it’s brooding calmness and terrible tempestuous tantrums when the moon sees fit to leave her.   In the south, the nation of Elves and the Orcish tribes are locked in an ongoing feud which often sees the Skadii Planes bathed in the crimson of honour bound blood. All of this overshadowed by the Scarstone peaks that again draw the border between the Ebon coast and the southern territories.   The cities are rife with continual power struggles, whether it be between noble houses, noteworthy guilds or gangs of street rats, There is intrigue and political maneuvering on all levels of society.   Most of the cities on this part of the continent are multicultural and should you travel extensively you would be hard pressed to not find a ward somewhere to cater for even the most savage society has to offer, though how those folk are perceived and catered for in each settlement varies.   The world is currently sat on the precipice of chaos, many agents are at work for varying benefactors. Whispers of a Dark Covenant with designs on Demonic Dictatorship leave the lips of worried locals stood by crackling hearths in Taverns. Talk of “The Hounds of the Royfalls” being seen in the region, tearing through small homesteads, taking what they want with little care for the folk that call this place home. The wars to the south and their encroachment on the “Civilized” North, not to mention the hordes gathering in the North to retake more habitable lands.
