Realms of Ashana



Ashana is a world entwined with magic, a force cultivated since the beginning of civilisation. Yet magic remains fathomless; a mystery of unbound wonder and excitement, of discovery, spiritualism and intellect. Magic rules the battlefield, alters the values of law and justice, and controls the land and its peoples.

Control of magic is a prized trait in individuals; a powerful weapon to be utilised in war and politics. But control is only found amongst the studious, and stems from wisdom. Those who govern the feudal nations of Ennelia encourage magic use by every citizen, and seek to train anyone who shows exceptional promise.

Arrayed against the Emran (human) civilisations of Ennelia are horrors of magic both man-made and monstrous, and stranger yet, the mythical Outliers whose origins lie in the farthest past and whose alien cultures and abilities perpetually threaten the Emran world. Amongst the Outliers are the Eldra-kin: deathless sentinels of a cold and forgotten aeon; Ograln, savage and primal beast-men devoid of both magic and sophisticated crafts, with no self-awareness except the violent will to annihilate anything they encounter; and most chilling of all, the primeval Ulgrieth - everliving gargoyles with eldritch powers, suffused with sinister magic unlike anything Emran-kind can devise.

In a time of tension between the kingdoms of Ennelia, one mage has risen beyond all previously known power and poses a threat that engulfs the Emran feudal kindgoms, the Outlier lands, and even the realms beyond. Zarin Frost the Winter-Heart — and his guild of power-hungry followers embark upon an unstoppable crusade whose only aim appears to be the unravelling of the world, and life itself!
