Cruinthe War - The Original Pseudo-Medieval Fantasy RPG

Three Stories of a Nation



The Waltz of War





Civil war has been thrust upon a nation recovering from a ten year long war
after only a brief year of peace. The nation's military was financially
crippled at the beginning of 1059. Malamek Lani, and his Lieutenants Calvin
Ariosh and Reavette started a rebellion by recruiting the remaining death cults
and dark sorcerers in Cruinthe. They've raised an army of the disenfranchised.
An army of the proletariat. And at the same time an army of darkness. Many of
the people that had joined the Cruinthian Revolutionary Army's ranks have
fallen and begun worshiping the dark gods. With these troops the CRA captured
Fordeth, the royal city, and scattered the CDF to the south.







The Nobility is caught between a choice. Support a man that declines a crown,
and speaks of liberty, yet openly uses the dark powers, and practices genocide,
to attain the ends of Nahemoth in order to save their lives. Or stand against
him and be slaughtered.







Baron Dumah liked neither of those choices, and instead crowned himself King of
Se'Cruica, pledging to protect his own people by any means necessary. Even by
taking in ex-traitors and using their skills to keep the CRA out of his lands.



The Pillars of Power



Powers centuries old vie for control over the land, seeking a bloody revenge
for slights against them, and letting none get in their way of their goals. A
hidden agenda drives a coven of sorceresses to raise the dead into forgotten
ones, and plant trees of darkness. These powers seem to be unstoppable, as they
are unfettered by the chains that shackle the rest of the world's magic.



The Black Tide Rises



Malamek Lani, at the behest of the sword Ithrandear, a greater demon of
Nahemoth trapped in the blade, unleashed the first darkling to walk the world
in eons. Sul'Rasa, the progenitor, proceeded to spread the Black Tide to
Innorsford, founding the Hash'Gaki clan with its offspring in that area. From
there it founded the Vanati clan with its offspring in the Bloody Foothills,
and finally it settled the clan Felgallal in the southeast by the coast on the
creeping crag. After that the progenitor disappeared, and the darklings began
tearing apart the south.
