Greetings!
Finally we've moved close enough to the lore. Today's journal is all about the game setting. From now on we are going to tell you interesting facts about the game, so that you'd be a more experienced traveler and don't confuse dwarfs and gnomes (which is deadly dangerous, by the way).
Starting from the basics.
So, where and when?
Aldor, who would say this kingdom used to be powerful and prosperous, now is ruled by the Grand Magistrate, the alliance of City-States. During the Discord Grand Magistrate stopped the Civil War by defeating all the opposing Noble Houses. Well, when peace came, the role of the Grand Magistrate diminished. The alliance members walked different paths and peace has left the kingdom. Only power nowadays can guarantee safety.
The ruins remind us about the War of the Fallen and the Discord that followed. No medicine can heal that wound. The signs of war can't be wiped from the face of Aldor. Fragile balance was violated and the blood spilled was worthless after the Last King returned. The great orc migration and another political race added fuel to the fire of war. In a blink of an eye the whole Aldor was split into zones, influenced by fractions.
The Last King? The Fallen? What happened before the game occured?
Half a century before the cliff-hanger, Aldor was swept by the wave of bloodshed, the historians call War of the Fallen. Aldor initiated it against the elven Jade Kingdoms. The result was crucial for Aldor, a lot of cities fell along with the monarchy itself and the Last King disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The war was called that way and the historians meant it. Making the last stand the Last King revived a lot of fallen warriors, that formed half of his army. This terrifying blasphemy was doomed to failure, the Last King was vanquished and left horrific legacy.
That didn’t fill the cup, the Discord, the notorious game of thrones period came. After the Jade armies left, all the pretenders appeared, and the civil war started. For a decade the feud prospered, and only the Grand Magistrate was capable of stopping that insanity, formed by nobles, tired of hatred and violence.
The Last King personality, sides of the conflict, folks of Aldor, they all need to be mentioned, so stay tuned and don’t miss the news. See you soon!
