Shandar A dark fantasy setting by Darquill

Welcome to Shandar, a world still recovering from the devastating Hundred Years War against a demonic horde called Hrak-Tuzul.   A thousand years have passed since The Banishment, and although the rebuilding efforts have united all the peoples under the banner of peace for many years, tensions have been rising between the Rhylian Empire and the Andorian Theocracy over the drug K'dasj, the very precious substance that gives access to magic. While the two empires are trading diplomatic blows, and secretly trying to sabotage each other, the Trivanis Commonwealth is prospering by keeping a neutral stance and trading with both.   While the nobles squabble, the common people try to make a living the best they can in an often unforgiving world. K'dasj addicts roam the streets in search of a dose to avoid dying a painful death amidst an unprecedented shortage of the drug, while couriers from the more isolated towns report of strange phenomenons happening in the wilderness.
