4/17/2012 Arun's first introduction to the game

The World:In some ways, it was your standard high fantasy world, 300 years ago. Humans, Elves and Dwarves all had their own kingdoms, and lived semi-peacefully. (Humans kept getting more and more numerous and expanding into traditionally elvish or dwarvish areas, so there was some tension.) You don't know much about that world. It disappeared 300 years ago. What happened? No one knows. Your ancestors were pioneers/settlers. On the fringes of the settled world. But something definitely happened - the core of civilization just stopped sending people and supplies to the fringes. Some brave souls have ventured back to the "Old Kingdoms." The few that have returned have said that it gets wilder and wilder the closer you get. No one has returned from actually getting to the cities that once existed, so you don't know whether they still exist or not. Elves have all but disappeared. (Players - you cannot play an elf, unless you talk to me.) And no one heard of orcs until about 275 years ago. Hmmmm. Sorcerers are a new concept, too. Gods are different from the Pathfinder book, but use them as a base and talk to me about the difference. You are a young fool adventurer, who is bored with living with his or her parent(s) or guardians and wants to know what is out there, and make money, or gain fame or whatever
