Welcome to Castelia, a world corrupted by magic, infested with monsters and on the brink of a 2nd great war. Numerous races inhabit the continent, however humanity is by far the most dominant. An experienced party of five adventurers are summoned by the emperor himself, believed to be the best of the best. Soon to take part in a perilous quest to defy fate & stop a terrible prophecy from coming true. The stakes? All out war, 1000 years of chaos and the potential rise of a fallen god. For almost twenty years now, the voice of rebellion has been growing across the empire. The 1000th anniversary of the empire fast approaches and things are reaching a tipping point. The Council of Kings is conflicted, should they support their emperor whom they have sworn fealty to, or should they use this chance to take control. Crime in the cities has reached atrocious levels, taxes have never been higher, corrupt mayors take bribes to keep a blind eye to the chaos. Pirates continue to destroy merchant ships along the coast, bandits highjack caravans and kidnap travelers on the road on a regular basis. The native tribes continue to raid the boarder cities. Even tensions with the empires neighbors are getting worse. There seems to be no end to the madness. All people of all races can feel it coming, a great war that will destroy whatever remnants of peace that remain. Even the emperor knows this, his armies have doubled in activity, his agents and spies seeking any citizen of any race who speaks against him, hundreds of innocents taken to prison at the very mention of war. Will peace ever return to this land? Or is it too late to fix what has been broken. All the people need is a rebel leader to rally behind and the great war will rage across every corner of the continent.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 1 authors
SO IT BEGINS
August 8th | 7:00 AM
Deep within the great eastern wilds of Andaria, five experienced adventurers find themselves traveling south along the old scrolls road. Only a few hours from the outskirts of Kir'Andah, the oldest, largest, most populous city in the world. It also just happens to be the capitol city of the empire. Home to the "Council of Kings" as well as a population of over 300,000 people. This is where your meeting with the emperor is to be. For not two weeks earlier your party received a letter with the imperial seal. An official summons to see the emperor himself. The letter sounded urgent, not to mention mandatory. And only two days away from the empires 1000th anniversary.
The light of the sun barely begins to shine over the horizon. It's hazy orange sunrise illuminate a small caravan of nine people. Five of which being our party of heroes. Hired as mercenaries to protect a rich merchant, his wife and two kids as they travel towards the capitol. No one travels across country alone anymore. Not with how chaotic things have become throughout the empire. Bandits, wolves and all manner of monstrous creatures infesting the tameless wilderness. You have been taking shifts guarding and driving the rather large carriage and its two horses.
The family of four snoozing away inside the carriage while you five, the hired escorts, are forced to endure the outdoors. You rested for a few hours during the night after a nonstop eight hour push from a small village to the north. However, now that you have broken camp the lot of you continue south. But don't worry, this wealthy merchant offered a hefty payment for your efforts. As you continue down the dry dusty road you scan the area and see a lush green landscape with rolling hills and scattered groves of trees. You travel another three miles before looking to the west you notice a massive black cloud rushing towards you. Only a couple miles away. Clearly a thunderstorm as you glimpse brief flashes of light and dull roar of thunder that seems to role over the hills.
