<p>The desolate lands close to the edge of the known world, according to superstition, borderlines the beginning of the realm of the dead and the end of all that is living. This border is marked by a ever-present fog that people don't enter and return, though some theorize that this fog was not always here, or is perhaps slowly encroaching forwards. Either way, the lands close to this fog are known as the barrens, both due to crops struggling to grow in these areas and that fear causes only the very poor to occupy the scarce villages in this blighted land. </p> <p>As a result, most groups of raiders and bandits come from these baron areas, traveling inland to richer areas to steal and loot. Within the Barren's it not being unheard of for these criminals to recruit able-bodied males in that area in return for food and protection. One such village is Drayton, in which the men join them on raids and if successful, the village get needed supplies and as a result they often hide these criminals from bounty hunter and others trying to eradicate the group. This village is in the bottom-right of the world, with fog to the south and east of the town, making it almost impossible to grow anything and livestock sometimes get unexplainable illnesses that spread, killing the weak, young and elderly. To the west is an area known as the Forgotten Lands which are avoided at all costs, as within lurks an immense amount of horrors that are so distorted by exaggeration and the insane, you can only truly be sure that what ever is in there, is likely to kill you. However, those living close to these places have a much clearer picture on what in there, because every so often something comes out, maybe attacks a village or two before returning to whatever cesspit it crawled out off.
North would lead you through a small forest and a few miles after the clearing, the sea. Therefore, the only way to reach the mainland from Drayton is the sea or following the coast North-West, skirting dangerously close to the Forgotten Lands. </p> <p>It is this land in which an ex-raider called Raegan was born and raised, before seeking… Something new. </p> <p>*I was just bored and decided to sink some of my time into writing stuff, so… this is stuff.* </p>
