Game Setting

The fragment that game takes place on is called Willow’s Rest. In Willow’s Rest, community and cooperation kept its citizens alive one before and now they must build their new home into a place they can defend from those who would take it. An island floating in a storm that seeks to consume any who enter, Willow’s Rest is full of ruins and monsters along with mysterious pathways and portals that lead to places with unknown enemies but also unknown allies. Take up arms or magic or both to defend this place from threats from both this realm and beyond. 

Willow’s Rest has two defining features: a massive mountain and a waterfall that flows from the sky. This mountain is the largest in a mountain range that has not been fully explored and the waterfall flows from some point near its peak. The waterfall is massive, at least twenty feet wide and at least five or six feet thick. The water itself is salt water, however, where it merges with a river below it becomes fresh water. This river flows through the central town and off the edge of the world. 

The area that has been explored thus far by the people of Willow’s Rest is heavily forested with areas that contain ruins from the ancient civilization of Vanaros, the culture that dominated these lands before The Shattering. 

Willow’s Rest has no native inhabitants except for the plants and animals. Adventurers come from far off lands (other Alliance Chapters) or different fragments. 

Willow’s Rest is governed by two separate councils, the Willow’s Council (made up of NPCs) and the Adventurer’s Council (made up of PCs); the councils work together to govern the fledgling community.
