REMEMBER TO READ ALL LORE BEFORE CREATING YOUR CHARACTER
Welcome to Irkalla, an original high fantasy setting. The continent of Irkalla has been united under the banner of the empire for a thousand years. Until a hundred years ago when a civil war split the old empire into three rival nations. For decades Overna has wished for a return of their dominance of their golden age. But as Overna prepares for a war of reclamation, corrupted beasts and foul monsters infest the country side. The young kingdoms of Virune and Zakar find themselves allied against the rising threat of the once broken empire. Pirates harass imperial colonies among the isles and bandits hijack traveling caravans on the road. Savage tribes raid imperial settlements and terror has gripped the people of the land. The broken empire faces enemies on all fronts and now a dreaded prophecy comes to light. Threatening the final destruction of the empire, ushering in an age of chaos.
THE MORTAL GOD
Long ago, before the age of unification, Irkalla was utterly divided. All manner of horrid beasts scoured the land with no hope of victory against them. Chaos had consumed the continent and there was none strong enough to save us. But out of this darkness, there arose a single man, a glorious hero who stood alone against the evils of the world. A legend of such great strength and courage, no foul beast could defeat him. His name was Parem'Zel and according to the stories past down through the centuries, it was he who united the realm under one banner. Driving the monsters of old into hiding for centuries. A simple farm boy who slayed countless hordes single handed. A man of renown with a name that strikes utter terror in the hearts of all those who serve The Dark. A guardian of justice, a slayer of dragons, a killer of giants, a lord of great armies and a sorcerer of the highest caliber. In the last great war, it was the 1st emperor Parem'Zel who fought against the last of the titans and consumed its power for his own. He is known throughout the lands of Irkalla as "The Mortal God". An agent of The Light who stands as a beacon of hope for all mortals. Upon his death bed, legend has it that this mighty hero declared a terrible prophecy.
"A thousand years of peace and unity I bring unto you. A glorious time of growth, prosperity and expansion. But this shall not last forever. I say to you with a heart full of sorrow, one of my unbroken line shall turn from the light I have fought to protect. Beware the false gods of old, for their return is the rising of chaos."
