Unfinished*
The World of Rene
Rene cries out for heroes. Monsters once thought long dead are beginning to appear again. The savage races are beginning to organize. The wars between nations in the world erode the spirits of its inhabitants and their neighbors. The Great Southern Forest has recently filled with an ominous fog that is all but impenetrable. Even the world itself seems to reject her inhabitants as earthquakes shake the surface leveling towns and villages. Volcanoes erupt, darkening the sky and peppering the land with ash and storms begin abruptly without any warning. Some say the gods are dead or have abandoned Rene. Others say an ancient evil entity that the gods themselves cannot contain is awaking deep within the bowels of the planet. Those who call themselves adventurers bind together to battle the evils of the world only never to bee heard from again. Many say its the end of time...
All is not yet lost. Even with the gloom and despair that permeate much of the world, hope still remains. Some adventurers report success in their travels. The dwarves have been able to reclaim some of their mountain homes as they battle the unending forces of orcs, giants, goblins, and trolls. The eladrin have began crossing over from the Feylands to the material plane to aid their cousins the elves. The noble dragonborn work to restore their once mighty empire to its former glory. Yes, even while a dark age approaches the world, it does not give up hope. But hope can only take the world so far and it is beginning to fade. Will heroes arise to battle these dark forces, or will Rene’s light fade away like a candle in the dark?
Timeline
Before recorded time it is said that the Rene was a desolate world until it was happened upon by the Goddess Ilshara. Legend has it Ilshara sensed a faint trace of life that had previously existed on Rene and decided that this lonely world could be a habitable place for life again. Ilshara took it upon herself to rejuvenate the planet. Using her power Ilshara brought forth rain and the Sun, and realigned the seasons. Vegetation began to grow and wildlife started to flourish. Within a century Rene was completely changed from a stormy, deserted, desolate planet into a lush, life filled world. And so it is that Rene would have a clean slate. However, bringing back a world from desolation is no small task even for a Goddess, so Ilshara decided to rest and hibernate within the bowels of Rene.
During the decades long sleep of Ilshara others like her would take notice of Rene and began to inhabit the newly recreated world.
