| Welcome, brave traveler, to the savage
Northlands. Here you will learn all you need to know to survive
these harsh environs. Be wary, though, for danger is never far
away in the lands of Ishyr, and it can come from any direction.
The wilderness is rife with barbarian savages, quick to kill any that
trespass on their lands. Where the barbarians do not hold sway
far darker creatures rule. Orcs, goblins, ogres, and giants all
dwell in the Northlands, yet even they fear to venture into the high
peaks of the White Knuckle Mountains and the darkness of the Bernewood Forest. Evils older than man or orc make their abode in this
domain.
Perhaps you will find refuge on the coast, in the
shining cities of the Kingdom or the Tsurani Empire. Do not drop
your guard for death lurks there as well, veiled in the mantle of
civilization. Beneath the bustling veneer of the frontier cities,
you will find a world of shady guilds and secret societies, subtle
intrigues and murderous plots. Above it all hangs the threat of
war, for the Kingdom and the Empire of Tsuran both know that they must
eventually clash for supremacy of the Northern Province. The war
is already being fought in the streets of Carse and Jonril as agents
from both nations play the dark games of espionage and assassination. |
