Background Description of the Setting
Elaria is a realm steeped in magic and lore, characterized by its once-bustling landscapes and thriving civilizations. Historically, the Dawnspire served as the heart of Elaria, a towering structure that illustrated the connection between the land’s inhabitants and the powerful magic of the sun. The tower’s radiant light nurtured the crops, provided warmth, and facilitated the growth of a rich tapestry of cultures and communities.
Before “The Shattering,” Elaria was a beacon of hope, where trade flourished, and alliances were forged among different factions. Each kingdom had its unique heritage, from the scholarly Elvish enclaves of Eldoria to the warrior clans of the Iron Peaks. The Dawnspire was not only a physical landmark but also a spiritual one, revered across Elaria for its role in maintaining balance and harmony.
However, the night of “The Shattering” forever altered the course of Elarian history. The sudden collapse of the Dawnspire unleashed chaos and darkness, allowing the Wraiths—dark, twisted beings of shadow—to swarm the land, feeding off the despair and corruption that followed. The sun’s absence plunged Elaria into an endless twilight, disrupting the natural order and leading to the rise of numerous factions, each with divergent goals. Some sought to restore the Dawnspire, others aimed to harness its remnants of magic to gain power, while a few embraced the darkness, believing it to be the key to ultimate strength.
In this fractured world, the Chosen—like you—are tasked with uncovering the truth behind the Dawnspire’s fall. Your journey will take you through desolate ruins, treacherous landscapes, and the remnants of fallen kingdoms. The choices you make will not only affect your fate but also the fate of Elaria itself.
