The Shattered Lands of Eldravine, conceal secrets and marvels in their strangely-warped landscapes. A testament of scars left by ancient magical wars and wonders alike. The world of Eldravine itself, was created ages ago by an “artistic” Shadow Lord known as “The Maker”, as his ultimate work of art, something that would rival the work of Gods, and that eventually transformed himself into a God.
However, the Maker’s own existence came to a catastrophic end centuries ago, when two mighty empires guided by sorceror kings, clashed in an apocalyptic magic war. After wretching and warping the landscape, people and animals of their respective lands, they ended their war in a catastrophic magical explosion that shattered both the Maker and the land itself. After many centuries, Eldravine’s wounds have healed, and its inhabitants have forgotten much of their past. The Shattered Lands are thus full of wonders and terrors alike. Ancient ruins of previous mysterious civilizations exist beneath thriving cities and trackless wilds, concealing long lost secrets, powers and dangers. Armies march everywhere, and heroes rise and fight for a multitude of civilizations and city states, who grew over the ruins of fallen realms.
But darkness looms now over Eldravine, taking the form of the ominous Crimson Conqueror. A ruthless Shadow Lord, who sent his lieutenants – the Butcher of Kings, the Lady of Fear, and the Lord of Death – to reave and enslave the whole planet. Heroes are thus called to arms to fight this menace, recovering the mystical fragments of the shattered Maker’s essence, the wondrous “Shadow Echoes”, buried deep into the ground, ruins and even some creatures of the world, waiting for those brave or desperate enough to harness their reality-warping might…
