Torovan

305AS

Created by

Torovan is a world on the brink of war. For three hundred years the world has tried to recover from the events of 'The Summoning', devastation on massive scale, wrought from the actions of a king to save his people.

Queen Jagdea Dorotan sits on the throne, seemingly aging more by the day, some say the loss of her sons and daughters has broken her, others say her whole line is cursed. Assailed by the barons desperate to 'liberate' Torovan from her rule, those still loyal to the royal family seek to keep balance through truce, trade deals and sometimes less cordial measures, to ensure that the kingdom is not plunged into civil war whilst enemies gather on their wider borders.

To the north lie the blighted lands of the Northern Desert, the once fertile lands destroyed in the Summoning. The desert is now home to unnumbered ruined settlements, tombs to their former inhabitants and home to the vile things that followed.

The east holds 'The Strip', the long promontory of land separating the central kingdom from the Great Sea and its many archipelagos, settlers, pirates and creatures of legend.

The western forests are home to monsters, the great tribes of wandering beasts, those they enslave and those that hunt them for gold, sport or a little of both.

To the south lie the lands of the many barons, all vying for position and power within the court of the Queen, and those who would willingly take that power for themselves.

And at the centre lies the vast lake of 'King's Water' upon which the capital of the Kingdom, Daratas sits, a vast city of guilds, commerce, politics and intrigue.
