Arasaka

  Once the peak of adventure and fantasy, Arasaka was a continent of adventurers, treasure hunters, warring nations, and vibrant kingdoms. Every race and profession could be found here, from humble farmers to legendary kings, from wandering monster hunters to powerful mages. That changed 200 years ago when Demon Lord Krane emerged from the underworld to seize control. Arriving weakened and with only three commanders at his side, Krane slowly regained his power, building influence in the shadows until his full demonic strength returned. His conquest began systematically: The Denboldir Kingdom fell first under Demon Commander Fraxus and his demonic pacts, Roshiaca was crushed by the brute force of Demon Commander Boonmaw, The Caspary Empire was manipulated into submission by Demon Commander Missandria, and Kleubraizia was toppled through tactics and vengence as Demon Commander Sralios, its long-dead king, was resurrected to exact revenge on his homeland.   Now Arasaka exists under Krane’s Eternal Eclipse, a sunless realm where demons rule openly, their presence woven into every town, mine, and farm. Non-demons live harsh but strangely unified lives, as goblins, humans, undead, and beastfolk are forced to cooperate for survival. The land, once lush and diverse, has become muted and grim, rivers drying and skies perpetually darkened so Krane’s vampire legions can roam freely. Despite the despair, life persists, and even under Krane’s dominion, whispers of defiance remain. Trade with other continents has resumed under Krane’s assurances of non-expansion, but adventurers now come seeking something far rarer than gold: hope.
