Vaelun

The continent of Vaelun is where your adventure starts. A great mountain range called the Dragonspine runs from North to South dividing the continent. The southern plains are occupied by the Nuneian Theocracy, an Elvish kingdom while in the northern reaches lies the Dwarvish Kingdom of Karak-Az- Knurlheim. To the west of the mountains lies the Hanseat League, a federation of city states joined together through trade and mutual defence, while to the east is the The Shattered Realm, a region consumed by war.
several centuries ago a magical disaster called The Sundering caused chaos in Vaelun, some of which are still felt today, particularly in the east and the south. Although for many the details and legends surrounding the event are unclear, anyone native to Vaelun is familiar with the tale.
The only other known continent lies to the east, filled with strange creatures, kingdoms, and legends. Although there is trade between the two continents, little is known about it beyond stories told by the sailors and captains who make the voyage and sailors are hardly reliable witnesses. There are rumours of another continent out west but no sailor has the same story...
There are several places an adventurer might find work in Vaelun; the rulers of the Shattered realms are always looking for something or someone to give them an advantage over their rivals so that they might unify the region. the Elves of the south offer fabulous rewards to those willing to help them recover lost artifacts from their ancient cities. meanwhile in the west the Hanseat League are looking for brave explorers to take to the seas to find and settle new lands....
