Realm

Before recorded time in pockets of antiquity the poets and singers of the old songs described a rich and dangerous land called Myrrgoth. Here the young human races grew alongside the fey and wild of valley and orchard and isle. The earth belonged to these children, but they were not the first inheritors. The children of the chaos god Vartek and the primordial mother Yyngalla-- whose house had been supreme before the new gods arrived--slithered into caverns, grottoes; they dove deep into the yawning chasms of the earth, to the bottom of the briny oceans, shriveled into air and fire, water and earth. Driven mad, succumbing to lust and violent rage, greed and bitter hatred, or gnawing hunger, Vartek's children populated all the dark corners of Myrrgoth.

On the borderlands, the space between these monsters and human civilization, men and elf went mad. When meeting the dark horrors, some were enticed into dark bargains with the old god's children and thus, chaos spread like a mindless plague across the plains and hills and forests. To fight such beasts and rid the land, the new gods took pity and emboldened the hearts of individuals: these the heroes of this early age.

You wish to be one of these brave souls, sponsored by a deity. Seek out your destiny.

Adventure awaits!
