The Land of Paeta and its Peoples

interactive map

Paeta is a land of rich history. Most lands are settled by humans of various ethnicities, with the exception of the Elven homeland and the Dwarven realms deep within the mountains. However, in the harsh climes of the Kaskev Mountains, which divide the continent, dwell hordes of aggressive and belligerent orcs, scheming hobgoblins and their hosts of loyal and disciplined soldiers, and clans of industrious goblins that continue to survive.

Wars of recent history have been internal to each of the races. Human nobles fight amongst themselves. Whether the Eklendans skirmish on the border with Gershans or Berkmar loses swaths of territory to Markia, most have never seen an orc or a goblin. Some even believe they are only in stories to scare children.

War in the West!

The opening chapters of what we see in this war are busy and bloody. From the perspective of our many heroes, the Battle of Serna Hills and the Battle of Borly capture the fate of many in Book I. The sieges at Adyrnaarn and Versingit, widen our perspectives greatly, as we meet many other heroes from the beginnings of their long, chaotic, and winding journey into the lands of Yvel, where they join our other heroes on one side or the other.

Of course, there are many more battles that we don’t see, with untold heroes living and dying. And there are the battles that we will see in the books yet to come.
