Realm of Aetola
World
Aetola is a vast world of mythical landscapes and hidden treasures. Magic radiates from crystal veins that permeate the earth. This crystal, called Zekite, is extremely valuable due to its immense power, however it is also very difficult to extract and nearly indestructible. At the center of the land is the Emerald Valley, a lush forested region where the enchanted Stardew fruit grows. The valley is home to magical creatures, such as trolls, goblins, and the occasional griffin. High above the Emerald Valley is the city of Varellia, nestled in the clouds. This sanctuary city is home to all different types of beings, such as humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, gnomes, pixies, and other fairy tale creatures. The city is protected by the Gilded Knights, elite warriors and personal guards of the High Queen Iridea. The Wicked Woods lie to the east, shrouded in gloom and shadow. Werewolves prowl the woods at night, basilisks lurk in the swamps, and there are rumors of a village called Endemar where witches and warlocks practice occult magic. To the north are the Frostclaw mountains, with peaks reaching high above the clouds. It is a region of constant snowy blizzards, although the Dwarven fortress of Dhurzagrim offers some protection. To the south is the Sea of Mystic Salts, where fishing villages gather around the coast. There are tropical islands with ancient ruins and lost treasures, as well as an underwater city called Seraphis where merfolk live and trade.
Story
For many centuries, the Gilded Knights have successfully defended the inhabitants of Varellia from malevolent beings. The city has enjoyed peace and prosperity, and has been the center of trade and commerce across the land. Royal balls and lavish parties have been frequent at the Silver Palace. Recently, however, there has been an increasing number of mysterious attacks in the area. Victims have been drained of all their happiness and joy, causing them to wither away and die. The Gilded Knights have been investigating the cause, and the inhabitants of Varellia are becoming increasingly worried. Meanwhile, the evil sorcerer Traelar is planning to complete a dark ritual. His summoned shadow fiends have been secretly draining the happiness from inhabitants of the realm and collecting it in the Orb of Despair. The Orb gathers power by consuming happiness, and when it is fully charged, Traelar will use it to become an immortal god of sorrow. High Queen Iridea has promised a fantastic reward to anyone who can discover what is going on and put an end to the attacks. There will be a grand festival where the hero is granted a Gilded Medallion, a symbol of the highest honor in Varellia. She has recommended that anyone willing to help should visit the druids and dryads of Tikalkor, a stone citadel in the western Dalgothi mountains that is protected by runes and glyphs. Only they know of Traelar's plans through their ancient knowledge of the realm and the orbs of power. Good luck!
