Anarchic Archipelago

Folklore

The stories in the Anarchic Archipelago region tell that before Draugr the Envious mysteriously disappeared he cursed these lands so that the dead wouldn’t rest and would return to haunt the world of the living and that he slumbers in Deadmans Marsh awaiting for someone to stumble into his tomb to awaken. Freya's ancestor was given the mantle of responsibility of dealing with these undead, a technique was created that fed on the souls that linger, preventing the dead from rising once more. This mantle was passed down to each generation of her descendents and is currently in the hands of Freya the last of her kind. The stories have some truth in them, but it wasn’t Draugr the Envious that caused the dead to rise but his miraculous daughter that was brutally butchered and the reason Draugr mysteriously disappeared, she awoke as the progenitor of the undead, Mother Wraith. These islands are lawless and the only rule is the strong rule the weak, filled with slavery, prostitution, thievery, gambling and bloodshed.

History

In time immemorial, the Anarchic Archipelago was once a singular island and the last warfront in the War of the Ancients, the prosperous civilisation that once dwelled there now rests at the bottom of the sea.
