World

Grave Kingdom

There is no past, no history. No explanation of where the massive palaces and quonsuuns were built or by whom. Or why ancient weapons carved from meiwood invoke not only powerful magic but also an ancient curse which summons the Killing Fog. The kingdoms are ruled by iron-willed masters. The wilderness ruled by the ruthless Qiangdao. Enter the world of the Grave Kingdom at your peril.

Magic & Lore

There is magic in the world of the Grave Kingdom, but it is cursed. No one knows or remembers how or why. But all the mystical artifacts have a common connection – they are made from the wood of the meiwood tree. Glyphs have been carved into them which imbue them with special powers. A cricket carved out of meiwood, for example, can give the holder the ability to jump great distances.

But when magic is invoked, there are terrible consequences. The stronger the magic, the more terrible the outcome. Magic summons the deadly killing fog. There is no cure for its deathly touch. In order to protect the innocent, these magical artifacts are collected and horded by powerful people to keep them out of the hands of commoners who may unwittingly bring calamities on themselves and those nearby.

What are these glyphs and what do they mean? The answers lay buried in the past.
