This region is lawless with many slavers, pirates and brigands to encounter. But there are a few who will not stand for the ensuing chaos, and will fight to defend its capital of Senchal.
If you think the ravaged lands were the worse thing well…think again as that isn’t quite their biggest problem as Dragons who are now free from theHalls of Colossusare also found in this region. They have the cult, the Order of the New Moon behind them, which is causing havoc under secret plans.
