Sometime before history, some great disaster struck the lands of Ascalonia. You live near one of several city states that make up the surviving area known as the Severed Kingdom.
Geography
- West: The Greyshear Mountains and beyond them, the Chaos Wastes. Few venture here and those that do never return as they left.
- East: Rivenwood
- South: Frozen seas
- North: The vast Hexadian Sea, smattered with isles and archipelagos
City States
Each city state is independent and has its own language and culture. Each city state is a powerful stronghold in the world, teeming with life. Beyond their walls, life is dangerous.
Each city has a patron God and they vie for advantage against one another.
Known City States
- Tal Erinth — The Shardspire city of strange aspect
- Kyre — City of blood and bonds
- Kell — City of combat
Society
What you look like or your proclivities matter little compared to your state allegiance and class. The peoples of the Severed Kingdom are a miraculous blend of every shape and form, and live together in mutual acceptance of one another, allied to their home citystate.
Conflict exists but are between individuals or cities, not because of any generalized prejudice or bias.
