The Story
In a post-apocalyptic fantasy world where much of the land has been reclaimed by a magical wilderness. You set forth from the last city of men and mer: Talan. The king of Talan invoked an grand exodus to Faerland, a prospective land far east in hopes to settle there. It is said that these lands are not only bountiful, but contain the last known species of dragons.
The hide of such dragons a strong arcane medium. These lands could promise more than homestead, but riches and magical innovation. Under the King's decree countless souls take the perilous path toward Faerland; a so-called "Promised Land"; in search of a better life. Thus begins The Great Race as it's called, hundreds of hopeful adventurers, naïve, experienced, desperate and cunning; numerous races of men and brutes; scholars of magic and journeymen of the blade; all amass in the capital city of Talan.
There we find your ragtag group of hopeful adventurers. Your quest is different to the rest however. Your quest is to slay a mighty Red Dragon that dwells there before the great wizard Andrad, the one funding your adventure, turns to stone. To succeed, you must guide your ragtag band of adventurers across the merciless, ever-changing wilderness of the WYLD. This journey will undoubtedly lead to the ruin of your party. But as the dwarves would say: Embark for glory, the ruin of men & brew, or to dance in death's face!
