The Dark Lands Campaign World:

This wiki will detail a new campaign world that I am creating for use with 4th Edition D&D.  It will mostly be used for players of that game.  Updates should be at least weekly.

The World of Therra was much like any other in the vast multiverse, perhaps less magical and monstrous than some, but most travelers from the Great Beyond would have recognized it.  All that changed 5 centuries ago.  On a dark, cold night in the dead of winter something caused Therra to intersect with some evil place beyond.  Monsters not seen in millenia poured out of the north, led by their fiendish masters.  Most of the realms on Therra were crushed by the onslaught, and only through the work of the Nine Heroes was Therra able to gain some relief.  Now, all these years later, humanity and its allies are finally rebuilding civilization.  The fight is hard as much evil remains on Therra, and new and strange magics work again after untold millenia.  This is the world of the Dark Lands, an attempt to rebuild what once was, and maybe to rise to the heights of the Nine Heroes themselves.

Most of the adventure in the Dark Lands center around the town of Lorisbridge.  The town is famed for being where the Dark Hordes were finally broken so many years ago, and now are the edge of one of the few civilizations left.  Lorisbridge is the frontier.  North of it are the vast swaths of the Fallen Kingdoms.  West lies the great mountain range of the Dragon's Holme.  East lies the Cold Sea.  South is the last bastion of what remains of civilization, the kingdom of Alavar or more simply the South Kingdom.  Here is where great adventures begin.  Here is where the light tried to shine again into the darkness.
