Grass, mountains, trees, rivers, and not a soul to be seen for miles around,
the wilderness is not the most civilized of places, and stories
that have reached the towns tell of fearsome creatures and labyrinthine
dungeons far under the surface. Of course, these rumours have never been
verified, though the few who have tried have taken a long time in doing so....

msg
The Imperial Highway was built long ago, so much so that its origins are
now long since passed out of recorded history and into the stuff of legends.
In the years since its construction it has gained the name "The yellow Brick
Road" on account of the distinctive colour of its paving. Whilst in former
times the Imperial highway was safe to all who would pass along it, in
recent times it has started to decay, as the toll of centuries comes to bear
on this once-splendid testament to past powers.

Nestled snugly in a sheltered bay at the west of the Imperial Highway, Scorn
is a safe and welcoming place for those who pass by. Its position on the
Imperial highway allows it to maintain its importance as a stopping off
point between the other major cities along the route and an attractive
location for trade and commerce. This combined with the sheltered harbour and
extensive shipping lines, ensures that Scorn remains a key crossroads
bustling with activity, long after its former military dominance has
diminished.

Founded by Lord Butakis, this land is a unique region of lakes, rivers and the sea.
Changes, both natural and unnatural, had drastically transformed the landscape of
this area. Rivers had been diverted, lakes were drained, and the sea had reseeded -
only to have all this undone or remade through a catastrophic flood a decade later.
As a result of this devastation, one needs to recognize the hardship and sorrow
that has been a burden on this land. Many lives have been lost, several graves -
marked and unmarked fill area. Rumors that the fog, which covers the land, is a
testament of the grief and anguish experienced by the first settlers has drawn
those brave enough to face such superstition. Another interest of lore is the
wandering spirit from the nearby forest; a spirit in which seems to be holding a
grudge from ages ago. Others travel to Lake Country because of its reputation -
the rich shops operated by retired adventurers, the Training Tower and the safety
within the Fortress of Lord Butakis.

Port Joseph is located on the largest (which isn't saying much) of a chain of
islands west of the Kingdom of Scorn. While the island doesn't boast very much,
most everything there is very practical. How the times have changed. The early
days of Port Joseph was a haven for the most ruthless band of pirates that the
high seas has ever seen. The infamous reputation of Port Joseph died with the
passing of renowned pirate admiral, Moogley Bill. While his legend lives on,
his treasure horde is still missing. Thanks to increased presence and protection
from The King's Navy, many trade routes now pass through or near the area, so
that makes the Port a frequent stop and transfer point for merchants.
However, the pirate roots are still relevant today.

Some would say it was a famine or monster invasion. No one would argue that frequent dust storms
and marauding monsters has left behind just a few of the once many structures - any of which could
collapse into rubble at any moment. Many are convinced ancient and lost treasure awaits those brave
enough to explore this region. A few have attempted to explore this area; from archeologists and

no one has lived long enough to find it - or leave with it. One thing is for certain, there is
something very unnatural and unfinished with the fate of this whole area.

The Sisters, leaving them scarred and disfigured with wounds that would have killed
any one else. The curse of immortality was then realized, but incomplete. Each of
The Three Sisters lost their greatest Gift, which now reside deep in the vaults
of the nearby factions. For centuries now, conflict erupts daily as raids
between each sect fights to a inevitable stalemate with one another over control of
each Sister's Gift. Trapped in their tower, The Three Sisters wait for destiny to
grant them one last favor by making them whole once again. Now that the ancient gods
are no more - they could once again practice their craft.
