The world is one of many races, many people, many styles, who have come together to try to better themselves. Several centuries ago this world was ravaged by Dragons, humanity - for lack of a better word - almost became extinct. It was only the actions of the unlikeliest band of heroes that saved our world, but since then nothing was the same.
The Age of Dragons brought magic into our world. Men and women discovered that they could do such wondrous things, and of course there were those who inevitably became corrupt and coveted this power. So much so that the King of Everhold at the time; King Northam established the Mage School - and outlawed all magic that was not taught or practiced under the regulation of the Mage School.
Over the years the Mage School grew in power, and those who could not afford to attend - or simply didn’t have the skill began to resent it, and those who would wield magic. Certain holds within Everhold began to rebel against King Northam and soon a full on rebellion took place. As all looked lost the Mage’s entered the battle and saved King Northams life, but the people of Everhold would never forget the display of power. A truly good man, meaning only to help his people; Northam saw what a man wielding this power could do to this world, and so he divided the power of the Monarchy. Splitting each Hold into it’s own little “Kingdom” with neither having the right, or power, to call upon the Mages - who would now act and govern themselves independently.
A hundred years has passed since the rebellion. Minor skirmishes have occurred between some of the Holds, but no out and out war. Each Monarch craves power, and neither trusts the other. The world has almost slipped into a silent dark era, monsters and creatures of strange likeness have begun to show up and are becoming more brazen, often outright attacking villages, towns, and the Hold capitals themselves. Rumours are spreading of Guilds rebuilding themselves after the rebellion crushed them all, the fighters guild, the thieves guild, and even rumours of a rogue mages guild.
Everhold is on the verge of something happening, but only time will tell if it will restore this world to greatness, or burn it all to ashes.
NOTES:
*In this world "Mage" references anybody who can wield magic. Be they sorcerer or druid.
*There are no known records of who the heroes who saved Everhold from the Dragons are.
*YOU CAN be a magic wielder in this game. You CAN be from the mage school, or you can be a rebel. The choice will be reflected in how NPC's react to you.
*If you have any questions hit me up here, or on Discord.
