Once upon a time...
"...The
Proud Heart spilled forth from the great city of Bloodstone, and took
the lands for their own. But they were not the only ones. Into
this world crawled all the dark things that had been held so long in
the Phantom realms. Under the cloak of Father Night they slipped
off into the dark recesses of the world to await the day they might
call the world their own...
...Thus
was the Dawn Age, when Law and Chaos struggled to shape the world, and
the First Champions wandered the Land..."

from "Ruins of the Phantom Kingdom"

Shey'Khenan, land
of beauty and hidden terror. A world both young and old. Less
than a millennia ago the Gods made their Pact and left Shey'Khenan to
the mortal races to tend. Now dark powers seek to return, to
plunge the world into everlasting night and chop the world-tree off at
its roots.
The first
chronicle told of the distruction of the Phantom Kingdom and the birth
of the world.
The second
chronicle began in the peaceful Nevern Vally. An independent Barony, it
was a provincial collection of villages hedged in between Darthen,
Barthenor, and the greater Sylvattan wilderness. When a great metal
bird fell flaming from the sky to crash into the nearby mountains,
frightening events were set in motion, and a small band of home-town
heroes struggled to halt the grim fate it heralded.
Now, 4 years
later and hundreds of miles to the east across a bitter sea, the
Kingdom of Ardenoth struggles to rebuild from nearly a century of civil
war and invasion. As proud men and savage orcs struggle for suprimacy,
a pair of halfbreeds and their peculiar friends have found they hold
the keys to restoring peace. Presuming they live long enough to unlock
it...
