Intro In the 708th year of the Axbridge Era, the fractured realms of Chaia are scarred by endless wars. Ancient kings once bound the land beneath banners of order, but their thrones are splintered; crowns now rest uneasy upon the brows of rival lords. From the Barudia-Dododolonian War to the Ulm-Dhulian Conflict, every generation has spilled blood for power. Cities rise upon battlefields, their people hardened by strife. Kings levy armies of knights and soldiers, yet many trust more in wandering mercenary bands—sellswords whose loyalty belongs only to coin. Across Chaia march mighty regiments: Raule’s infantry hold grim lines, Crowglia’s archers blacken skies, and Ulm’s unmatched cavalry ride like thunder. Navies prowl the seas—fleets from Ulm, Dhul, and Tsengia keep harbors locked in ceaseless strife. Yet war is not the only power. Taverns echo with tales of cursed springs, uncharted dungeons, and sea-monsters that haunt the deep. Brigand gangs stalk sacred forests, while forgotten monuments whisper in runes no sage can read. The portals of old magic—relics of a forgotten empire—still link cities, though none alive recall their makers. In this world, a traveler may be knight sworn to a fading lord, mercenary seeking fortune, guardian soldier of ancient vows, or rogue blade chasing freedom. Each choice carves a path through shifting kingdoms where alliances break, kings fall, and heroes are forged in blood and fire. Chaia waits—its destiny in the hands of those bold enough to seize it.
