The Realms Of Othrond
Welcome to a world filled almost anything you can imagine, from your wildest dreams to your worst nightmare. This vast world is covered with a variety of cultures, races and technologies.
Othrond was once a very stable place ruled by kings and kingdoms in peace and harmony known as the divine age. Two thousands years ago however a sect of magi known as the arcane hand began the practice of traveling to other planes of existence, this would prove to be a deadly mistake not only for the magi but as well as those in Othrond.
Making various contacts in the other planes the magi were instructed on how to construct a gateway from the other planes of existence to their own home world. This artifact was said to hold the power to shape entire planes of existence and to bestow upon the arcane hand powers and wonders they never dreamed of.
For a time this was true the guild of
magi created and discovered all sorts of wondrous items and mastered
new and dark magics. But being blinded by lust for power the magi
pushed to far and the artifacts true nature came to light becomes an
open portal to the other planes of existence. Thus hordes of
outsiders and other being not native to Othrond poured through the
gate way causing what is known as the great breaking of the world.
For hundreds of years the fabric of
the realm was in flux and turmoil. Great kingdoms fell, entire
civilizations disappeared in years. After around fifteen hundreds
years later the artifact seemed to go into a hibernation state beings
and entities only rarely appear out of the gate way now. Afterwards a
temple was constructed around the artifact and guardians took up the
cause to observe and watch over it.
Othrond has now had
hundreds of years to restart and rebuild their realm. It consists of
small towns and villages scattered throughout, there are larger
cities even and in some parts of the realm metropolises.
