SETTING

    A great frozen wall rises above the horizon from the east all the way to the west, as far as the eye can see - The Permafrost, a giant of the long forgotten past, ever present, ever watching, ever breathing cold into the hearts of hungry and tired people of Barias. Days are short and eerie sounds cover the dark land at night. Terrifying creatures lurk the unexplored frozen wilderness, praying on unexpected adventurers who dare to set foot in this unforgiving land. Abominable yetis, horrifying remorhaz and brutal ettins are but a few frightful creatures roaming the land.       Magic, once a prominent part of Barias, has abandoned the land, remaining but a legend, a story people tell their children to help them sleep at night. Those who could actually control this enormous power, were revered as prophets in the past, gaining disciples and followers, forming their teachings into religious cults over time, of which several remain to this day, providing comfort and relief to troubled people of Barias.
