The world is split into four. The island nations of the mud people to the south, the eastern lands a place of little or no magic, the midland a great power and home to mighty mage schools. And lastly, D’Hara to the west, filled with malice and death. D’Hara is the kingdom that started the last two great wars this World has known, and caused one of the magical Holocausts that ravaged.
Civilisation once covered the land with its cities and roads, but after many terrible wars and two great magical holocausts the people have not recovered. There is a strong feeling of hatred between D’Hara and Eastern lands mostly because of the last war where the east land was responsible for the death of D’Hara’s royal family.
There are no true royal families left, just a few public guilds and noble houses. Notably the guild of merchants otherwise known as the Temple of Wakeiem, and the noble house Hart, honour and custom always coming first with its members.
The boundary is the “underworld” (shadow plane) in every form and the walls of that boundary are a one way trip to insanity. Those that return from the boundary have no memory of who they were and always come hundreds of years after they left, these people are called the returned.
No one knows why they came back they just did and only those who leave there past behind ever discover anything about who they were.
