Vestara

13th day of Sul, year 23, 5th Age

The fog has lifted and a New World has been found.   Shortly after the discovery of gunpowder, curious brave souls decided to re-purpose the large seafaring vessels of war, recently disused after centuries of conflict, for exploration. Thus, a new land was found far to the south of the two continents that was the known world.   Surrounded by a staggering number of islands in a circular archipelago, the new continent, Hadrashar, has been found to be a trove of treasures; but it is a wild and untamed land. The inhabitants range from nomads with a claim on the land as a whole to undead aristocrats who enslave the living. The monsters are strange and unknown to the old world: aberrations, giant worms, and the remnants of a terrible evil are all scattered across the blazing sands.   However, if you can face down the evils that infest the Nujah Desert you might just find the most precious material known: residuum. This crystalline essence of magic is used by spellcasters for various purposes. It is extremely valuable and only found here in the New World. Or, if you prefer, delve into the ancient ruins of a fallen civilization and discover the treasures within, untold riches and magical artifacts waiting to be found and used.   This new land is yearning to be explored. Exploit all it has to offer. Interact with the fledgling colonies and/or the secretive nomads. Destroy the abominations that dwell within the desert. This is your land. Destiny is in your hands.
