Lloedain, The Lost Land

We will be playing ACKS using the Heroic Fantasy playtest, which I will provide. For more information, see the LfP post.

This is a text based game, no voice involved.

The Solisians called it Ceresil "The Grain Island". Our ancestors called it Brydain "The People's Land". We call it Lloedain "The Lost Land", and lost it is.

Three hundred years ago, our ancestors were taught the way of the one true faith. We felled the woods that led to darkness upon Brydain and brought them into light. We worshipped Solis and his son Mithradates (Father Shine Upon Him) and beat back the fickle Picts to their cold and inhospitable homeland where they preyed on each other instead of us.

Two hundred years ago, the Solisian Empire fractured as civil war gripped it and heathens, ever waiting at the edges, road in. Brydain was told to look to her own defence and she did, defending against the northern reavers, the western Cymgwrs and the endless tide of Picts that flowed forth.

One hundred years ago, Brydain lost that fight and became Lloedain, the Lost Land. Her kingdoms fell one by one until now only Kernow at Land's End remains.

We fled to Aulica and became Lloewer "The Lost Folk". A people without a home, a diaspora amongst our distant brothers on the mainland where we are protected from the predations of the Picts and their foul magic.

But soon we shall return. Soon we shall rebuild the Brydain of old on that black and fallen island and bring it back into the light.

You are an adventurer and you have heard of the great treasures of Dunasil "The Black Isle", what some called Brydain and what some call Lloedain still. Gold amongst the abandoned towns of those who lived there, treasures hidden in the ancient and abandoned Solisian ruins and mysterious things long buried from ages older still.

And now a call from the Holy City has came, a call to take back the lands from pagans and heathens. This is a chance for you to gain fame, fortune and a high place in the heavens themselves.
