accuse him of being a demon or devil, or a corrupted god. His name is Oberron, the Night Shroud. Its armor is made of crude iron infused
with the blood of his friends and loved ones. It wields an axe made of enchanted violet crystal, and commands extreme powers over the
arcane. The only thing keeping Oberron from conquering all of Acropolis is his drive for mining. He seeks something hidden in the
mountains, although no one knows what. In between these three kingdoms is the area called The Barren Lands. Thousands of years ago The
Barren Lands was its own kingdom, but a great comet of fire and brimstone landed on it, blanketing it in terrible ash and lava. Tensions
between the surrounding kingdoms rose dramatically when a mage revealed that ancient artifacts of great power were left in the scorched
ruins. Anyone who takes them could rule Acropolis without opposition…

Every human in Acropolis has some semblance of magic in them. This comes from an event the natives of Acropolis call the
Strangefall. Legends and inscriptions in the Barren Lands show that something “tore the sky apart” and radiated “divine energy” down on the
mortals of the lands. The Estate theorizes that something from the Strange may have sundered the recursion, and only recently has it
recovered.

Whatever the cause, the humans of Acropolis have been irreversibly changed. The most common mastery of magic is very faint, only
allowing a minor control over motion, gravity, and sometimes production of offensive attacks. Stronger connections tend to favor one aspect
of magic, and that can dictate a person’s profession, if not their interests. Farmers could control water and the force of life, while the most
valuable miners can sense and feel mineral veins like their own limbs. The humans of Acropolis are not the only beings infused with these
energies. Common beasts like stag and boar have grown exponentially in size, and predators like bears and wolves have grown much more
powerful. Monsters creeping in the dark have become much more prevalent to society, and fending off sieges and raids by ancient species that
have only recently become hostile are now common to human cities.
