Introductions

Gone are the old gods, they lay buried beneath the earth, their names forgotten. It began over a thousand years ago, the gods grew tired of mortalkind, the shackles created by their worship. They decide it was time to unmake their work and move on from this realm. The few that chose to defend their creations, stood and fought for the lives of their people. War raged gods fell from the sky, the earth shook and reality was strained to the point of breaking. in the end the earth stood whole but unrecognizable. The earth was swept by howling winds and devastating storms. Mortalkind survived by living underground for several generations. When the winds finally abated, mortals attempted to reform civilizations from the age before the sundering. Kingdoms rose and fell but then came the Anthonian Empire.

Emperor Anthonious was a powerful elven wizard. With the old gods gone, Anthonious declared himself a deity and enslaved the mortal races. Centuries passed under the rule of the empire, before Anthonious was overthrown. But in the end the emperor had the last laugh as his death unleashed a curse upon the world. Plague and famine ravaged the land, hordes of orcs, goblins and other monstrosities arose in untold numbers. Mortalkind dwindled to a handful of fortified cities built on mountaintops and other such isolated locations. That is until a marvelous machine was engineered.

it was the year 1107 post sundering, gnome miner and inventor Kenring Draxelspan discovered natural reserve of methane gas deep beneath the city of Airpike. Using this discovery, he engineered the very first airship. Thanks to these machines the remnants of mortalkind were able to once again unite and drive away the monstrous hordes. Thus the Confederacy of VanAlden was borne. Now the loosely associated districts move to expand their territories attempting to resettle the relentless frontier.

In the millenia since the fall of the old gods, seven new divine entities have made their presence known.

1. The Mother is kind and caring. She requires her followers to uphold a high moral standard, to always give aid to those in need.
2. The Dragon is the protector against catastrophe, though it has been prophesied he will be to one to destroy the world.
3. The Crone encourages her followers to gather knowledge, keep it safe and pass it down to the next generation.
4. The Warden walks the world in physical form to help those who have lost their way. he protects civilization from the wilds of the frontier.
5. The Great Oak is the guardian of nature and stands against the destruction caused by industrialization
6. The Wolf embodies the chaotic and vicious nature of the wild
7. The Undertaker, god of the dead, he ensures those that die find peace and stay at rest.

The world is now a weird and wild place the civilization trying to find root and tame surrounding land. With the danger of the frontier a constant threat, Lord Mayor Gailen VanAlden issued one last decree before he died. From his deathbed he conceived the Dead Man's Promise. Better known as the DMP those that took up the cause roamed the frontier to confront the weird and wild while also hunting down wanted criminals. not all DMP members are perfect, but the agency as a whole works toward the greater good of citizens of the district. However a new organization has arisen in the last two decades. A company known as the 42nd Mercenary Troop, has been recruiting ever growing numbers. With promises of glory and riches to those that join. a Rivalry has sparked between the two organizations and now its only a matter of time before things get ugly. In the capitol city of Airpike, Lord Mayor Galen VanAlden the Third is facing off against a new political rival, businessman Leroy Brown. Brown promises to bring peace to the frontier by any means necessary. And amidst all of this a stranger has been seen roaming the countryside, shaking hands and making deals. A man with dark skin and golden eyes. This is the Feywild West.
