Sylvania Chronicles
The civilization was flourishing; we had entered an era of prosperity unheard of. The Sylvan people had always been strong but with our new allegiance to the Raelian Empire we were untouchable. Trade with the Ayocan was prosperous, the Kotal had not been angered in years, and the Anakim were keeping quiet other than when the odd stray wandered into their territory. Things were great, and then it happened. No one knows what caused it or why it occurred but the burst of magic that changed the world as we know it happened, an event that has come to be known as, The Awakening.
After, this Awakening the land warped and changed. Our lands became more fertile and magical forests grew out of dead plains. However our people were also affected. Those of us who were lucky stayed pure however, those in our coastal cities changed into creatures that excel in hunting and have the ability to breathe underwater. The inhabitants of Enderus got hit even worse as the giants we incorporated into our empire become monstrous in appearance but have proven themselves good for labor so we still tolerate them. The sudden change in this world and our people caused a great strain within our lands so we became more reclusive and shut off from the other territories around us.
As we became more isolated we began to hear strange rumors of the lands surrounding our great nation. We have seen the Stygian Swamp continuously grow in size for no explainable reason, the volcano on the island to the west has erupted warping it, and even the mysterious isle of Sithis becoming a frozen wasteland. There were a rise in reports of monstrous beasts inhabiting the land, mutations of our once human neighbors, and some with the ability to warp the elements in their favor. How much of this is true we do not know. It has been several years since the Awakening and it is time for us to see what has changed. We have commissioned an expedition, with backing from the Raelian Empire, into these lands to document the changes. We will send one of our brightest scholars out along with the Raelian Empire’s envoy into these lands. Hopefully they can get us some answers… and come back alive.
