The Lore

On the edges of the Azerai Empire, danger is a constant companion. Hardbitten frontier towns and villages face relentless
threats, far from the reach of the Penitent Crusade’s protection. Here, residents fend for themselves against the myriad
horrors of Doaden, a reality they have come to embrace.

Unfortunately, the Cataclysm’s corruption seeps into everything, even nature itself. The Ageless Fae have been twisted by madness, beasts of the deep wilds grow increasingly aggressive, and the dread Baphomet rises in power. These evils lurk, ready to entrap or devour the unprotected edge-dwellers.

This harsh mix of deprivation and lurking darkness ensnares many. For those living on the fringes, the dark entities of the outer wilds often feel more real than the distant ideals of the Azerai Creed.
