Wherein I shall post information about the Campaign Setting I'm working on.
The scribes tell us that in the world that came before, gods and mortals abused the land. They worshiped many things, coveted power, and began to ruin themselves as mortals and their gods are want to do. Eventually it came to war. There were only two survivors. The goddesses of Nature and Magic had chosen to stay out of the fighting, and it came to pass that they were all that remained. This was a lonely existence, and so an accord was reached. They would sunder themselves on the great void, and make a new world. Taking the best of what they remembered, Eula was forged from their power. And the last of the gods died.
Eula was a large world. A single continent dominated its austere sphere. Its ocean would hold many mysteries, great behemoths and sunken cities, mysteries its inhabitants might one day scour. The balance of power reflected the sacrifice of its creators. Mages and Druids were as abundant at the beginning as they are now. The beginning of time on Eula ushered in a Golden Age which would last 5000 years. The druids tended the world, and the mages pondered the mysteries which had been left them. Even the poorest family did not hunger, and had a few magical devices to tend to mundane needs. A simple walk through the forest would yield an armful of fruit as the very trees themselves deposited their bounty into outstretched hands.
But the mages grew overconfident. Their explorations into the unknown were beginning to spill into Eula's purity. Abberations summoned from the lawless planes which remained from the world before. Powerful outsiders seeking dominion over mortals once again. Magical fires, growing out of control, scouring the land, poisoning the soil and preventing the natural cycle of rebirth. The Druidic Council sought restraint from the Mages Chamber. Instead they received an open deceleration of war. No one knows why. It's thought they were on the verge of something. Some discovery. The knowledge itself is lost to time.
