Server: "Dawn of Nordock" Listed under 'story'
Forums: http://nwndon.46.for...ic.php?f=2&t=18SETTINGIn a time nearly faded from memory, the Land of Nordock was ruled by Duke Nathaniel Fleomen. Benzor was a city entrenched with nobility; where great leaders came together, rose to glory and fell from grace. It held the old blood feuds between Elves, Orcs and Dwarves. Their weak alliance held together by the Human Duke against their common foe, The Drow of the Underdark deep beneath the farmer's fields and great structures.
It is not known exactly how long things remained this way, for many books and histories were lost in the times to come. It was a time of great strife and ruin known as the Demon Wars. Believed to be started by a foolhardy wizard who failed to summon a powerful demon under his control. He opened a doorway between worlds releasing great evil upon the lands which consumed all. Great cities fell and what seemed petty differences vanished. All races banded together, Human, Orc, Elf and even the Drow banded together to protect their world from an inevitable apocalypse. Even with all these forces fighting under one banner they narrowly escaped with their lives.
With the loss of the Fleomen bloodline during the wars, the noble Tucker family rose to power to help rebuild what was lost. The once city of Benzor little more than a village to contain the remaining survivors. The city of Brosna, once home to Government and Merchants had been completely conquered by the Demons, and it's taint never fully removed; in it's stead a small encampment of tents and huts along the shoreline not far north from it's original location arose the fort to be known as New Brosna. And a time of peace and re-growth fell across the land.
But in time, the alliances formed during the war wavered. Amongst some, the greed for power and control returned and consumed them. Duke Tucker struggle to retain peace in his city, so allied with the Knights of the Silver Shield. A holy order designed to enforce right and law within the walls of Benzor and it's surrounding lands. Thieves and murderers were outcast from the city and they established their own city to the far northwest known as Tobaro, the city of outcasts. While Benzor was returned to order, it lost many numbers in the great divide.
Tobaro not only became a home to the outcasts, but the remaining taint from the Demon Wars also began to walk the city streets. It became a city plagued with evil and greed with no ruler; but it grew quickly for those who lived there did not live without ambitions. Of these, one man of note stood from the rest. A true entrepreneur and businessman, Don Vinciero made order from Chaos. And while there is still no ruler in Tobaro today, the Don holds powerful sway amongst many.
With the cities divided, there was only one location between them. The Fort New Brosna. Both cities began to trade with the people of the Fort and it's economy flourished. It rose quickly to greatness, becoming a great port-city of commerce where all were welcomed to come in the name of business.
And this is the landscape of today... with a history of great divides and alliances, success and failures, we can only wait to see what tomorrow brings....
