The Reach

The Reach is a vast and untamed frontier, nestled between several well established nations, though never settled by any. Once home to the ancient Clovi orcs, the region now bears only scattered remnants of their once-great civilization, which mysteriously crumbled hundreds of years ago. Little is known about what caused the sudden fall of the Clovi, and historians can only speculate. Some whisper of a cataclysmic event or the wrath of dark gods, but no one truly knows what wiped out this powerful culture so swiftly.

Northern Hinterlands

In the Northern Hinterlands lies Sable's Refuge, a small but bustling trading post that serves as one of the last outposts before the true wilderness of the Reach. Run by a retired adventurer known as Sable, the refuge is a melting pot of travelers, merchants, and explorers. However, the once-safe haven has become a place of intrigue, with rumors of a forest dragon haunting the nearby woods and a wandering necromancer gathering followers for unknown reasons. The necromancer, it is said, seeks to build a dark army in the shadow of the mountains, but no one knows his true motives—or what he intends to do once his "flock" is complete.

Fertile Prairie

At the heart of the Reach lies the Fertile Prairie, its golden grasses once the lifeblood of many nomadic tribes. However, in recent times, dark forces have taken root. Cultists of the Blightspawn, a malevolent force that twists the land and its people, have begun spreading their influence. The crops of the prairie have started to wither, and strange, mutated beasts roam the grasslands. Farmers and villagers have grown desperate, fearing that the land itself is becoming tainted by the Blight.

Blackstone Range

East of the praries the Blackstone Range rises ominously from the landscape, its jagged peaks perpetually shrouded in thick fog and smoke. The mountains are rumored to harbor veins of magical ore with immense power, coveted by wizards and artisans alike. However, many who venture into the range never return, leading to widespread rumors that the ore is cursed or guarded by ancient forces. Some believe a great dragon, long forgotten by the world, slumbers deep within the mountains, protecting the secrets of the range.

Sentinel Valley

East of the Blackstone Range sits Sentinel Valley, a secluded area watched over by the Ivory Sentinels—towering elephant-like humanoids known for their wisdom and strength. The Sentinels are staunch protectors of their valley, which they consider sacred. Their cities, built with white stone and carved into the valley’s cliffs, remain unyielding as the world changes around them. Visitors are rare, as the Ivory Sentinels prefer isolation, but traders seeking valuable goods have been known to pass through cautiously.

Demesne of Bones

To the west of the Fertile Prairie is a massive forest known as the Demesne of Bones, where the bone fairies dwell; eerie creatures with skeletal wings and an affinity for death and decay. Their forest is a place few venture willingly. The bone fairies rule with an iron grip, crafting trinkets and magical items from the bones of the dead, and it is said that those who enter the Demesne rarely return. Locals speak of strange lights and haunting whispers luring travelers off the path, and it is widely believed that the fairies guard some dark secret at the heart of their domain.
