‘If he can speak, he can cast. And if he can cast, he’s dangerous.’  I can imagine a few dozen reasons why he’d land himself in jail *cough* murder.

So a few weeks ago, I was asked by a few friends to DM a Pathfinder game. It is a little Skyrim inspired. So this is my little back story to the campaign.

The Rising Fall Campaign

                For thousands of years, Dragons used to rule the land in many ways. Some would ravage the country side, terrorizing the people, stealing their wealth for their own. Some took humanoid forms and ruled the land with an iron fist, demanding taxes and offerings to let the people live. While the dragons ruled the land, the nation island was known as the Land of Dragons. Many of each species of dragons lived there each with their own domain. War between the species was common with one wanting more land to grow their wealth. 

                Life for citizens of the land were anything but ordinary. Dragon attacks were often and random. If you had no coin to give, you were eaten. Because the dragons wanted to increase their wealth, they let citizens leave the country to trade goods only found from that country that also fetched high prices. However the dragons kept close eyes on the citizens using various kinds of magic. The citizens knew too well that the dragons did this as they have demonstrated their power in the past. That was until 50 years ago.

                A group of adventurers had heard of the Land of Dragons and were quite famous for their handiwork of killing monsters. With a little thought of greed and sense of adventure, they set off to the dangerous land. Over the next 10 years, they had slain every dragon they could find or that came to them. After a few months with no more dragons attacking, the adventurers went to one of the main cities near a port where they were greeted by many citizens of the land. They pleaded that the adventurers stayed in case dragons returned. With no ruler, Leia Ameen, the bard of the group declared that if she was to be queen of the land, the adventurers would stay.

                They helped rebuild over the next 10 years. Over that time Leia Ameen was crowned Queen of the nation which she renamed Laurnas. By her side was her husband, Prince Jace. She trusted Takra Ronin, an archer with unmatched skill with the bow, and Abbadon, a cleric of war and death, to lead the Royal Guard. Upon rebuilding the university in the capital, Aarondraka, a necromancer turned lich, became head of the university. Nil’sharr of Clan Rendingclaw, was in charge of Tracking and Scouting parties. These six adventurers, now ruler and protectors of this nation were accepted by all. However this story starts 30 years after the rebuild of what is now called Laurnas begins.
