HAEL: Burning Bridges

800 years of peace broken…

Daeorcs, descendants of the orcs, rule the Dominion of the north.

Yeana, children of the gnolls, control civilization in the south.

Outlaw Humans, Kirene druids, and Halfling outriders live in the wasteland in-between.

...From the sky come two groups of strangers, bringing their war with them!

Tensions in Crossplains are rife, as rumors of the Empire’s new alien allies filter through a city populated by Yaena, Daeorcs, Kirene, and more... Opportunities for a quick profit in the face of a looming war, conflict with the ideals of those who are working even harder to prevent war from breaking out.

To be a Yaena in Crossplains means being part of the majority, although not all Yaena support the treaty with the Nuclarine.

To be a Daeorc or a Daeman means to be walk on treacherous ground.

To be Halfling is to be a newly freed slave, living amongst your former masters.

To be Human is to be an outcast, uncaring and unaligned as always.

And to be Kirene means to always needing a extra few tricks up your sleeves!

Maybe not today, but eventually each one of these peoples will have to decide what path to follow...
