Young World
The world is still young, created only 400 years ago. While the short-lived races have all but forgotten the first steps their ancestors took, some older dwarves still remember stepping out of the stone.
The various races are still finding their place in the world and the vast lands beyond the settlements remain largely unexplored. There are no ancient ruins, no forgotten history, and no fallen civilizations.
Important discoveries in science, technology, and magic have yet to be made.
