Early Beginnings

Where heroes are forged.

It is currently the 37th year of the first era, the Current Timeline (CT) was started with the creation of the Elven Empire 37 years ago Before the Current Timeline (BCT). The world itself is consumed by constant war as the races explore and expand their borders and influence. The realm consists of the Elves (21%), Dwarves (19%), Humans (18%), Gnomes (7%), Beast Folk (8%), Halflings (5%), and Other Sentient Creatures (32% Orcs, Goblins, Kobolds, Gnolls Etc). Each kingdoms power and influence is listed in this order as well.

In Midterra, life can change in the blink of an eye. Make sure you keep your wits about you in this ever changing world.

Here's what is known so far: A series of red crystals have been found all throughout Midterra, and wherever they appear trouble soon follows. It is also known that those who spend too much time in close proximity of the crystals fall ill with a disease. This disease is called “red-eye” as the energy in the crystals infects the blood turning platelets into microscopic crystals. Those afflicted show symptoms of fever, hot to the touch skin, shortness of breath, burning body pain, blurred or loss of vision, and out of character actions (such as anger tantrums).

Enter you, stage left. It's the year 37 (about 900 C.E technology IRL) in the midst of the chaos that is Midterra. Depending on your actions, you may find yourselves partaking in some twisted encounters seemingly built for you. Alternatively you may be thrust into them due to your own negligence.

Remember to keep an open mind. Much is yet to be known about this mysterious realm, not only for you, but the characters within.
