The Divergence Of Cerdaemm

Welcome, brave adventurers, to the fantastical realm of Cerdaemm, a world once united, now divided by the echoes of an ancient war and the threads of an ominous prophecy. The land of Cerdaemm, once a harmonious tapestry woven by the destinies of five diverse tribes, now stands as five distinct continents, each shrouded in a mystical fog that conceals the remnants of a fractured world. Long ago, the five tribes lived harmoniously. Odol, the snowlands to the north, Asinis the fiery plains to the east, Sang, the oceanic archipelago to the south, Veri, the scholars' hub to the west, and Daemm, the half elf divine kingdom in the heart of this marvelous realm.

However, the peace did not last forever. Frustrated by the limitations of being surrounded and the inability to expand, the king of Daemm, Ravyn Yilenir the 1st, started a series of expansion expedition, which led to what we called, the great war of Cerdaemm. Shortly after, a long hidden prophecy by the missing royal oracle Flehn Layunh came to light, interpreted to be foretelling an endless age of darkness were Daemm to continue on this path. In light of this discovery, representatives of each nation came together and decided to not only end the war, but to also divide the nations in fear of the prophecy coming to fruition in the future. The greatest mages of all the lands united to create a magical barrier, a fog, extending across the world of cerdaemm, shielding the five nations from each other. And five priestesses were chosen as sacrifice to keep the barrier intact for the remainder of time. 

In the north, the Viking-like tribe of Odol once thrived in the snowy expanses, their culture deeply connected to the wintry embrace of the Snowlands. Now, separated by an enchantment woven into the magical fog, the descendants of Odol navigate the frozen wastes, seeking a path to reunite the fractured tribes and restore their former glory.

To the east, the fiery planes of Asinis burn with draconic flames and infernal energy. Once a land of fierce alliances and shared strength, Asinis now harbors ancient grudges and simmering tensions among its draconic and infernal denizens. The veil of magical fog around Asinis conceals the volatile power that rages within, waiting for an opportune moment to unleash its fury.

To the south, Sang, the archipelago that once celebrated the harmony between seafolk and land dwellers, is now veiled in mist, obscuring the once vibrant coexistence. The sea breeze, once carrying the melodies of a shared culture, now whispers tales of longing and separation. The mystical fog enshrouding Sang serves as both a barrier and a reminder of the world that once was.

West of Cerdaemm soars Veri, the city of inventors and scholars, which now finds itself isolated in a bubble of arcanotech experimentation. The inventive spirits of gnomes and scholars persist, but their creations are confined within the bounds of Veri's magical fog. The once open exchange of ideas and innovations is now contained within the boundaries of a city longing for connection.

And finally, in the heart of this epic saga lies Daemm, the capital of the half-elf tribe, a large kingdom touched by divine grace. Daemm, once the central hub of a unified Cerdaemm, now faces suspicion and fear due to an age-old prophecy foretelling an era of darkness should the half-elf tribe attempt to rule over the others. The magic fog surrounding Daemm serves as a barrier, isolating the kingdom from the other fractured nations as punishment for the war.

Yet, danger peeks over the horizons, as the gates have become unstable in recent times. The priestesses'' life force no longer enough to keep them intact. These devoted guardians are thus tasked with choosing five heroes that will become their representatives and find replacements before the barriers come crumbling down. The fate of Cerdaemm now rests in your hands. Will you venture into the magical mists, unravel the mysteries of the ancient prophecy, and perhaps, forge a new destiny for a fractured world? The journey is perilous, the challenges manifold, but the consequences shall you fail are too grave. Will you be the ones to save the future of Cerdaemm?
