Lilith

The Norien Empire wants to scour the world for those with powerful inborn magic to use them in a nefarious grand ritual before their next succession, but is meeting heavy resistance despite its nearly unlimited magical resources and horrific abominations, as the free people's of Lilith are united against their impending tyranny, through direct military resistance, guerrilla warfare, and the control of those who use magic.   Dark magic, powerful magic, and fantastic creatures surround the world in a constant struggle for survival. Even the largest and most protected cities aren't immune to the dangers of the world around and the many afflictions that the Noriens send to the rest of the world.   Be prepared.   Themes to expect: Dark fantasy with many horror elements Largely magical world, with magic being highly controlled Challenging combat, enemies with strategy Balanced progression and character growth Rewards for skillful and creative role playing Rewards for utilizing the digital tools (like world anvil) provided for the players Rewards for well written backstories
