First, the game details:
Relentless Unleashed is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign (v 3.5) with an eye towards the epic: epic battles, epic villians, epic heroes…you get the idea.
Then the story details:
The continent of Abomnikus has been at war for as long as anyone can remember. Two races have competed for dominance: the human and the raakar (the black Goblin). When the Goblin Wars ended, the grand armies of mankind turned upon themselves. Cities were razed, entire civilizations destroyed. It was madness…
The wars have ended. Who won? Nobody really knows. Some King in a far away land might find himself owning a little more land — but to the common man, there were only losers.
During the wars, terrible magics were unleashed upon the continent. These magics were wild and untamed. They have tainted the reality, defiling the very laws of nature.
Abomnikus teeters on the edge of annihilation. One more war and the world will fall into famine, pestilence, death. The great civilizations of our time will simply perish.
But all of this was just a sidenote. For really, Abomnikus is a key component in the war of Creation. Though the races of Abomnikus have forgetten, they will begin to remember. They will remember their place in the Grand Game.
And so the final chapter begins…
