The Continent of Aldor

You start your journey in the continent of Aldor, one of the largest continents, home to many nations. Kingdoms that remember old wounds. Cities that run on gold and silence. Borders drawn in blood and kept by habit. People who have learned to live alongside one another, others that have not.

Aldor is home to nations as different as the people within them. A neutral giant that feeds the continent and knows exactly what that is worth. Twin nations bound by betrayal that one side calls history and the other calls yesterday. A city of three that needs no army, gold and information have always been deadlier. An empire in the north that the south pretends not to fear. Islands at war over the need for power, and the lies told to justify it. Beneath it all, something older than any of them.

The Festival of Light

The Festival of Light is upon us. Once a year, Aurenthaal opens its doors to all, the Veins show their power, and so does Aurenthaal. What is it that you seek? Fame, power, money, adventure, or maybe something more sinister. Many attempt to commune with the Vein. Most fail. Will you succeed?

But this year something feels different. The air carries more than celebration. Something stirs beneath the city, beneath the light, beneath the noise of the thousands who came to witness something they do not fully understand.

A Beginning

Aurenthaal is your beginning. Will Aldor be your end?
