Post-Shadow Wars

Setting Info:

Yesterday the Armies returned home. The shadow wars are over. Peza the Shadow Princess has finally defeated the Council of Shadow walkers. after 200 years of war, the Empire is in shambles, the horns of revolution are sounding in all 4 corners. what will happen? which side will you choose?

In the north sits the Core of the Empire's Power. Elwood rises around the first tree. the seat of the ancient elven throne. the seat the shadow princess has not sat on in the 500 years since she took it from her father. Surrounded by a magical Forest, protected by the ancient council of the fey, Elwood is the Second largest city on the continent.

to the west sits Star Harbor, the island metropolis, a hodgepodge of all the sentient races, it once was the lord of all the Islands of the Western Sea and all the rivers of the Land. with a majority of its citizens of gnomish origin, Star harbour is the Invention capital of the empire, and all the most recent technology has come from there, even with roads and aqueducts coming from Elwood.

to the east sits Caemlyn the Shining Star of the Eastern Plains. the home of the horse lords, and the greatest school to the magical arts.

to the South sits a city whose name is known only to its residents, this most distant, and largest of the empire's population cities. in countless underground caverns, this city fills an entire mountain many many miles deep. this most mysterious of the empires domains remains at war.
