Yet they still reside in the quiet place, the hidden places"
The Begotten Lands:
Faith, Flood and Fire
This world is one made from Bronze, forging empires. While the powerful are gilded in Gold, silver cannot pay the tithe of the poor. Magic is both impossible and inescapable at the same time. In some courts it is reserved for the jester, while in others it is held in highest regard. In this place, Darkness forever follows the Light and the plights of men are as real as the Blights of the land. War and Conflict are never far from the Peace that they started from. And Faith! Faith in Gods, or Humanity, hold this world together! The only constant in this world is the idea of Home. Everything, and all peoples have some kind of home, a place that they belong, a culture or someone to welcome them back. These ties, they and they alone, keep the people together.
This world will be what you make of it, no more or less.
Little is known of the Past here, as we possess few writings of old history. Most of it is past down in tales, myths and legends. By cause of that we call that time the Dark Ages. In the current Age, the time of Change seems to be upon us. We find Iron sufficient, while the Kings and their folk now tend to Bronze. Our lives can be hard, but when harvest is in and the time of Festivals is here there is no better. And when Luck doesn't seem to your side, you can look to your Gods as they keep the balance. Faith will help you find your path! It will help you along your journey and be with you when you need it most! -Cornelius, the Pontifex Maximus of Ermor
