What you need to know about Landäria.

Welcome, player!

This article will include the basics of what you need to know to start:
This campaign is focused around Old World expansion towards a newly dicovered New World, a land of plenty. Many things drive this expansion, including, but not limited to, a treasure trove of resources (most resources are running low in the Old World), plenty of food (food sources are being rapidly depleted in the Old World), and massive amounts of the energy required to use magic (much more so than in the Old World, giving nations with more colonies a clear military advantage).
However, three problems have presented themselves:
Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, though it's hard to judge, natives inhabited these new lands. Originally, the natives and colonists lived in peace, but now the natives have all banded together, and have their sights set on global domination.
Secondly, a global cold war is being fought by the human kingdoms over the tech to reach further into the New World, and the weapons to fight off the angry natives. These nations have shut down trade with each other, causing the price of food and raw materials to skyrocket, and people starve in the streets in the Old World. The global economy is fractured, and people are worried that a world war may soon break out.
Thirdly, the second issue has caused people to flee the Old World en masse, causing populations to plummet and some countries to close down their borders in an attempt to hold onto their subjects.
Your characters start in a coastal colony, having fled your home coutries in search of a better life.
That SHOULD be all that you need to know to start, so good luck, and good (monster) hunting!
