Humans have inhabited the villages of Ravenland for generations, and still they are considered intruders by elves and dwarves, who
have yet to forget the ancient and bloody wars between humans and the elder kin.

The elves sent their servants the orcs to war, but left them on their own when the battles became too savage, a betrayal that lives
on in the songs of the orcs.

During ten human generations, travelers were devoured by the Blood Mist, a red and ravenous haze that rose from the ground at
night. Very few dared venture outside after nightfall and fewer still know for certain what lies beyond the horizon.

In the last stages of the Alder Wars, when the king of Alderland beyond the wall sent armies to subdue his former governor, the
spellbinder Zygofer, it is said that the wizard desperately opened gateways to demon worlds from which hordes of indescribable
horrors poured out into the land. Many claim that the Blood Mist followed the invasion.

It is said Zygofer is still alive, transformed into a demon and worshipped as a god by the priesthood of the Rust Brothers close to
Alderstone in the west.

A few years ago, the Blood Mist disappeared inexplicably, and now people look over their shoulder anxiously. The bravest sharpen
their blades and prepare to leave.
