The Western Lands of the world of Eoun

In the year 1342, after a millennium of peace under the rule of the Laurion Empire, the actions of the Red Daze cult brought about the Dark Age: Andurium, the Prince of Demons and King of Gehenna, was summoned into the royal palace at Laurionopolis, and a rift was created between the Prime Material Plane, our world, and the world of Gehenna, a desolate battlefield overrun by demons and monsters. Even now, trapped inside the Ring of Brigid in the Old District of the city of Carcer in the southern wastes, the rift to Gehenna swirls and seethes, and Andurium watches over the city, waiting to make his move on our world.   When the Ring of Brigid was completed in 2243, the darkness and monsters which had pervaded most of the known world began to recede. The known world began to once again emerge from its shell: the men of the Northern States began reclaiming what fragments of their heritage they could, and ventured out of their fortified cities, and the borders of the known world grew with merchants, nobles, and magicians leaving the remnants of Lauria to do their business and restore the world. New lands were discovered by the people of Lauria, and peace ruled the land. The only threats were from the remaining wilderness and minor clashes with other civilizations. The world as a whole became prosperous.   Of course, peace never lasts for long. Even now, with the age of prosperity coming to a close, civilization still exists mainly in dense cities, with hamlets and small towns only existing in the safest areas. As the Ring of Brigid flickers, a testament to its age, the wilderness once again begins to encroach on the world.
