Plot:
In the beginning there were three countries, all at war, a rare thing to find three countries at war with each other. The surrounding countries watched as the countries sought to destroy each other. Xhouliu, Corin, and Amur were countries who were thought to be peaceful places. What happened to cause the war between them is a mystery, no one knows. What they do know is that the war went on for a long time until Corin resorted to new destructive weapons. Xhouliu and Amur had special weapons of their own but none like Corin's. When Corin's weapon was launched into the air a meteor shower destroyed all below, lighting fire to the countries. The last battle of the war ended in disaster, the land burned straight through all three countries, starting in Corin, to the north, spreading to Amur, to the west and ending in Xhouliu, to the south. The dead were everywhere and the countries were forced to stop the war. It took decades before the countries started to recover, but the scar in the land still remained.
Now it has been a century since the war and the scar still remains, and several odd creatures and other sort of odd happenings have begun to pop up all over. Their root seems to be the Scar, which is hardly surprising. No one knows what sort of weapon was used to make the Scar, not even Corin. Their king had kept it secret and took that secret too the grave. Before the war there had been tales of witches, dragons, and other sorts of magic, but now monsters more terrifying then any could imagine. Strange diseases took the lives of many often without warning. Now it is time for some to seek out the Scar and find what is causing all their problems. The only problem is that the governments of each country are too afraid of what is in the scar to send their armies to investigate. This forces a few brave adventurers to find out for themselves and tell their tale if they survive.
Setting:
Corin:
This country's people are much like the Europeans, pale with several different shades for hair and eye color. The country is covered in mountains and cold icy rivers. They rely mainly on these rivers for travel and food, the rivers are rich with fish. The mountains are filled with all sorts of furred creatures, some lethal others passive herbivores. Fur is very common among the Corinians seeing how it is the best way to keep warm in their cold climate. They mostly use Giant Ganugen for transportation if rivers are unavailable. Giant Ganugen are much like mountain goats with thick brown fur and large curling horns. They stand about as tall as the average horse and can carry twice as much weight. They are made for the mountains, as they can climb up any steep cliff side with ease.
Xhouliu:
This country's people are much like the Chinese, dark hair and eyes with smooth faces. The country has many forests, bamboo, evergreen and deciduous. There are mountains here as well but the smaller ones are smooth like hills and often have all sorts of plants growing on them, the taller ones are sharp and icy. To the south there is a desert with severe sand storms and little life. The Xhou prefer to travel by your common horse, well sort of common. The horses here appear to be more of a mix between a horse and an elk. Their faces are deer like, but they have the mane and tail of a horse, their ears are more like a horse's but their hooves are like an elks. They often dress themselves with cloth made of a plant much like cotton.
Amur:
This country's people are very diverse in appearance. Amur doesn't have any mountains or deserts, it mostly has lakes, rivers, and forests. The Amurans are a mysterious people with a culture that seems to change as you move through the country. They prefer to dress themselves with both fur and cloth and often prefer to walk rather then use an animal to travel.
The Scar:
The Scar is a jagged strip of land composed mostly of gray dead forests and jagged cliffs and mountains. What is in there is a mystery.
