History
The struggle for power between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryni Dynasty has long defined the course of Wildemount's history. Formed centuries ago by the iron fist of Rexxentrum, the Empire brings together a group of societies led by a central government that values order, security, and civilization over authoritarian methods. They are opposed by the Kryni Dynasty, a dark elf alliance that has been freed from the shackles of prejudice and now thrives in Rosohna, a fortress city built on the ruins of an ancient draconian civilization. Unbeknownst to many, even before this power struggle, the conditions for intrigue were created. The Traitor Gods have ushered in terror and despair, pushing Vailmount to the brink of destruction. Their disastrous reign culminated in disaster in a brutal war that pitted the First Gods against the Traitor Gods and tore the earth apart.
However, it was during these painful times that memorable heroic legends such as "Mighty Nein" emerged. Their exploits speak volumes for the inner spirit of resilience that has been at Wildemount throughout its history. This diverse group of adventurers witness unity in diversity as they navigate an intense social and political climate as they grapple with their individual burdens and shared threats.
The survivors of the disaster, the power formations that emerged in its aftermath, and the current social and political struggles all make up Wildemount's vibrant historical tapestry. It is a powerful reminder of both resilience to adversity and the constant pursuit of power. Wildemount's rich history of resistance to despair and testament to victory will always resonate deeply in the hearts of its people and beyond its shores.
Background
The Dvendalian Empire occupies most of the western part of Wildmount, a region known for its strict laws and great magical abilities, and is led by a powerful arch-image. In contrast, the Eastern Krynn Dynasty embraces its proximity in mystery, with many monstrous races under its banner. Perhaps most interesting, however, is the largely unstable Beast Coast, filled with independent city-states that thrive on complex trade systems and struggle to maintain their autonomy and not claim to be empires. Much more than its political and geographical divisions, Wildemount is fascinating for the many secrets it holds. Deep within its hollows lie the traces of Traitors to the Gods and the remains of the Porta Divina, and this land practices an unusual and mysterious manipulation of the Dumancy. The forbidden knowledge that hides the land is as alluring and potentially dangerous as the visible threats.
Wildmount is a tense town. The line between war and peace is thin and frayed. But even in these volatile circumstances, hope will not fade. Heroes and adventurers are drawn to Wildmount, searching for its wonders, protecting the people, and uncovering the truth behind its many mysteries.
From the bustling city of Rosohna, where dark stalkers roam the eternal night, to the farthest reaches of the continent, where unpredictable dangers lurk, the possibilities for great storytelling are endless. Both the budding adventurer and the seasoned explorer can find their destiny in Wildemount's soil, a testament to the country's rich and multi-layered history.
