[close] The Five Kingdoms of Astrania have been at war with each other for many centuries. An all out war over one-hundred years ago caused the kingdoms to fall into despair with no one truly becoming the victor. As a lasting hope a soaring blue Phoenix known as the Moon Flare flew across the sky. It was a sign for each kingdom that led them to the highest meeting of the Kings and Queens. In this meeting it was decided that every thirty years a new champion would be selected to represent their kingdom in a public display of combat and skill. This has led the kingdoms to prosper in their own ways and rebuild what had been ruined. Each kingdom lives within their own lands, their own laws and prepares their champions. The champion that wins the tournament is given rule for the next thirty years as sovereign leader of Astrania. In all this constructed order there are those that are planning assassinations, conspiring and threatening the mediocre balance that has been on each of their Kingdoms. Many believe that this tournament will be the last one before another war that will shake the kingdom and destroy millions. Will you be a contender or royal that wishes to see your Kingdom take the crown?

[close] The Human Empire has expanded too far into the wilderness, igniting war between them, and the native Beastfolk Tribes. Unbeknownst to most, this is the backdrop to a greater spiritual warfare, not just the clashing of cultures, but of Gods and Spirits. Beyond religious war done by sects in the name of the Holy Ones, the Divines themselves take up arms against one another directly, as well as through their paladins, clerics, hedge-witches, and druids as pawns.
