You find yourself sitting at the local tavern. Across the bar, a burly green orc eyes you as you finish off your pint of beer. The drunkard next to you attempts to regale you with a tale about goblin kings and vicious pirates. Turning to leave, you see a flash of a gold on a man's lapel as he rushes out the door on some kind of important business.
Following the fishy businessman out into the street, you find yourself in the center of a small but fast-paced city. A nearby guard gives you a suspicious look. The bulletin board behind her flutters with posters seeking daring adventurers and promising large sums of gold for their services.
Beyond the city's palisade walls stretches an empire that encompasses the eastern half of a lush continent. The world around you is filled with quaint towns, vibrant wilds, and bands of bright-eyed adventurers.
