Zandria
2nd of Balmoth 1257 AFI
Long ago the world of Zandria was divided as many worlds are along boundaries of race. But when that ancient diabolist unleashed his ritual that had been hidden behind the petty squabbling and the forces of the lower planes invaded, the mortal races were forced to unite and a thousand year war raged.
Its been two hundred years since the mortal alliance won, since the forces of hell were driven back, but this has not cleared the world of fiends. Demons who did not joined the organized fighting still roam the wild bringing wanton destruction when they're active.
The mortals have bonded together into great cities that are enclaves against the wild and supernatural creatures that hide in the ruins of old sieges. Race is no longer a boundary but some old rivalries still exist.
The ruins of the war are draws for adventurers willing to brave the danger of the world beyond the enclaves, many of them still holding the tools of war used by the combatants
