Icarus
5082 AC
It's the year 5082 AC. The world of Icarus is in an era of tenuous peace after the 5-year conflict known as the Elven War. On the continent of Latreous, several nations who were allies not too long ago begin to bristle at one another. Old rivalries and ancient history have once again put them at odds, and there may very well be another war soon.
On Icarus' second-largest continent, Domkirai, the fires of war still rage. While the Elven empire of Ira Kansu's plans of a Latreousan invasion have failed, they turn their attention once again to their neighbors. Border skirmishes with the kingdom of Qui Rin are constant while the Ira Kansans have taken over the Republic of Failan. Meanwhile, they tighten their grip upon their holdings in the Makul Desert, determined to not see the desert swallow them as they have every empire who's stepped foot in it.
But something else stirs in Icarus. Something ancient and powerful, a dark presence unlike any ever felt. Mages the world over feel the stirrings of dark and terrible magic. Dragons, long thought extinct, have been cited in every major nation, and rumors abound of dragons in disguise holding secret meetings with powerful world leaders.
One thing is for certain in the chaos, however: things are about the change, and Icarus will never be the same again...
