Story: In the world of Nymrathis there stands three continents amidst centuries old conflicts with wounds to show.
To the east; Draegmor, the Land of Regret and Ruin.
to the west; Karos, The Reclaimed.
and lastly to the north stands the greatest, more important of all; Tyvethia, Of Virtue and Divinity.
All together they shape Nymrathis, yet they couldn't be more separated. With a deep, cruel history stemming from the Ages of Magic and their damnation to the land as a whole. Ungoldly magic ran rampant in time of old; elder wizards equipped with forbidden knowledge beyond their understanding, sorcerers unlocking their truest (and rather deadly) potential, and warlocks binding and corrupting their souls for power incomprehensible. With their joint desires and greed for power by using such means, it led to the devastating war depicted as 'The Arcane Sundering', where the forces of wizards, sorcerers, warlocks and most in-between partook in a violent grab for power, knowledge and most importantly; authority above the rest.
This conflict would have been the end of all living things across the land, however; by the guidance of a benevolent and just God, the northern lands of Tyvethia intervened. With a bulwark of divine might and a sword of godly wrath, they cut down those of the arcane, occult and forbidden. Striking them down, and beginning the ceaseless crusade to purge their diabolic influence from the land.
This story will begin two years following the start of the crusade, with the lands still wounded and the distrust of magic high. It is via, the will of Tyvethia, that there is any form of normalcy across the vast lands of Nymrathis. But normalcy has changed immensely; with daily witch hunts, executions, and interrogations conducted by holy men in the pursuit of the eradication of magic to prevent another sundering.
Backstory information & Details: You all will be starting in the world of Nymrathis; a world once plighted by the arcane and occult 'casters and their greed now amidst a world-wide crusade dedicated to ridding the world of them and their vile magic. You all will stem from either the eastern territory of Draegmor or the western territory of Karos; you can reside from either side of the world and your backstory can encompass many things, but it will need to be hammered down and you'll need to find a reason as to why your character has found themselves venturing on the roads of Karos; a very newly appointed territory, having existed for only a few months, seeking to make their name and nation known by trade and travel to aid with the ongoing battles.
This is where you all will begin, having been hired by a caravan and sent out to explore the lands to find, pinpoint and create new travel routes. All the while dealing with the reality of the war and what repercussions have been set.
