Menune

Welcome to Menune — A World of Fate and Glory

“The gods are gone, the dragons sleep, and the empires of old lie broken. But the fires of mortal of ambition burn brighter than ever.” - Sevrien Vallénaire, Final Entry of the Crimson Archive

Menune is a world on the cusp of transformation — shaped by long forgotten gods, ruled by the rise and fall of mortal empires, and now splintered into fractured realms where ancient magic and steel still decide the fate of nations.

What Is Menune?

Menune is a high fantasy setting rich in mythic history, political intrigue, and cultural conflict. It spans continents from the war-torn human lands of Narador, to the mythical realms of the Elves, and the sprawling, subterranean cities of the Dwarves.

The world is ancient, with layers of lost Ages beneath its surface. The world was once ruled by gods, then by dragons. Now, the age of mortals is at hand.

A Brief History

Menune’s past is divided into mythic Ages:

- The Primordial Era – The world’s birth and the primordial age of gods.

- The Age of Dragons – Dragons rule the world; mortals rise under their shadow.

- The Age of Legends – Mortals forge empires; the world is torn by magic and ambition.

- The Age of Glory – Humanity founds the Chalois Empire; Elven and Dwarven civilizations reach new heights.

- The Age of Strife (current) – The Chalois Empire has collapsed. Undead hordes rise from the dark places of the world. Ancient powers awake once more. Mortal ambition carries a terrible cost. The world trembles.
