Prelude
Pressured to move forward with their planned destruction of the world, the Three Demons thrust themselves into the heart of Aliaanza’nchi where the world of mortal beings was created in an attempt to both avenge the deaths of their children and to assert revenge on the origin of mortality. Civil War thrust herself into the heart of the continent while Plague spread his influence over the frontiers of the continent. Hunger distracted the powerful nations of the world through natural disasters far from the continent- setting the stage for a massive war the world would turn their eyes to and one that would bring the full might of the three most vile beings ever introduced to the realm.
Party members are mercenaries on vacation in North Bumba staying at a tavern when a mysterious woman shrouded in white cloth tells the party about three ancient weapons created long ago in the First Age for defeating the Three Demons. She tells the party a warlock in the jungle border of Mkutano and North Bumba has recreated the weapons and she will give the party the greatest treasure they could ever dream of- with one big if. A massive war is about to erupt and the border will be at the center of it. To get the weapons, they’ll have to find them before the war destroys them. The woman walks away before the party overhears people talking about a civil war that has just beginning in the country around them.
The timeline for this campaign begins in Spring of 3994 with the party learning about their position at the tavern in the middle of an erupted civil war and an eventual conflict over the most valuable items in the entire universe. To get the weapons, the party will have to survive a civil war, navigate their way through a genocide, and find the weapons before the most powerful forces in the world beat them to the loot. Players will have an open-world format to navigate through the war zones of North and South Bumba, Mkutano, and other neighboring countries. Below is information about each of these countries with details about what kinds of things can be found there.
