The Broken Isles

To the East of the Sacred Union, across the Lucidon Ocean, lays the The Broken Isles and the shimmering sea. Where once the continent of Valorus stood before it sank beneath the waves, the broken isles are a collection of islands and sky lands that are controlled by the Aveiron Kingdom and have recently experienced a string of disasters.   The city of Al Phelia, build around ancient Valorus ruins, has been struck with a dangerous plague that turned those infected into undead monsters. The city itself was nearly lost, with many dead, but was barely saved by the actions of the Cathedral of Light. Unfortunately, this virus has begun to spread through the Scheifer Duchy that controls the Broken Isles, and as such the Isles themselves have been declared under lockdown.   Shortly after the virus first appeared, the Millium Empire’s Black Fleet launched an invasion of the isles and successfully seized the city of Totenheim, one of the five largest cities within the region. While the Black Fleet successfully took control of the city, a large portion of the fleet was destroyed while attempting to cross the shimmering sea. Duke Scheirfer led his troops against the Empire and successfully stopped them from gaining control of anything outside Totenheim and its immediate surrounding, unfortunately, the Duke and his heir were both slain. This has left both the Ducal house itself and the various lords of the region leaderless during this time.   During these tumultuous times, your small adventurer’s part was resting in the harbor town of Briggs when it came under attack. You barely managed to flee the crumbling city and have gathered together with a handful of other survivors as you plan your next move in these dangerous times.
