The Beginning

The story
Just North of the Trade Commonwealth of Vuveska, in a little town whispered in passing as Little Nook, our Adventure takes root.

You have all come to the Raven’s Rest Tavern to quench your thirst before you embark on the AIRSHIP, destined to arrive at the Grand City of Bast in the Beneath settlements of Vuveska. What reasons you have for travelling are your own affairs.

The strings of fate have entwined that your paths meet on this fateful night. The night the real story of your fortunes and your legend begins.

Area
Vuveska is a sandy area (Mad max, Tomb Raider, Aladdin). Failed magical experiments and the battles of the gods have shaped this land, leaving deep scars.

Inhabitants
Tribal towns an settlements. They are known as "The Beneath" people, because there are floating cities, high above where they live.

The people from the floating cities never travel to the ground, but they do send agents.

Rumours of "god-like devices" circulate and people are murdered even at a hint of them being present in many of the ancient tombs scattered across the land.
