It is the Age of History. Across the Continent, man struggles to carve new kingdoms from the chaos created when the elves abandoned Trid a millennium ago.
In the cold reaches, the Nordmen drive monsters and humanoids back into the wilderness. In the Midlands, the Lawful Faith is losing its hold on the Twelve Tribes. To the south, ruins of the shattered elven empire lay within the Autarch's grasp, while shortly east, the Ostmen foster bitter enmity toward the Alfmen, who themselves now plot to reclaim the birthright of their elven bloodline. The ancient piles of the Saurian Empire found city states of the Sea Holds, the Rovers of the Scour search the flatlands for what only they know, and the Thornveld is a country for those with none of their own.
It is the Age of History: The saurians are dead, the elves are gone, and man must shape the world they've inherited.
