The World (Forleroth)

Welcome to Forleroth
Welcome to the land of Forleroth. Your adventure will begin in the town of Fybrook, a well-known hub for adventurers, which rests in neutral territory between two human kingdoms, the Royal Kingdom of Thenas to the north and the Realm of Mystics, Emorrah, to the south.

It is a matter of common speculation as to how Fybrook maintains its independence in the face of Thenas's expansionist agenda, or why it attracts adventurers from all corners of the world, but most agree it has something to do with its mysterious governess, Lady Sybil. None have seen the mysterious Lady's face, and it is common wisdom that those who seek her out [an ink stain obscures the rest of this sentence].

Within the Kingdom of Thenas lies the great city of Herald, the seat of power of the royal Ausard family whose bloodline it is said traces back to the fabled Nimladrie, tamer of the mythical pegasus. There are rumors that the nobles of Thenas have grown weary of the royal family.

Little is known of Emorrah, the Realm of Mystics, outside of its borders. It is rumored to be populated almost exclusively by practitioners of magic, and its capital city, the Magic City of Cadun, is said to appear in a new location on each dawn.

You are aware of the Elven kingdom of Marestir in the Glimmering Forest, as well as Tseng-Ang, the city of the Drow, in the Withering Forest.

And you've heard of the Dwarven clans that tunnel deep into the Ravencrag and Frostfell mountain ranges to the south.

And finally, all travelers are warned to beware the Orcish tribes that roam the Chira Steppes, led by the warlords Bolga and Grishnakh.
