The Hero from the South

The Hero from the South

Karia, the first empire built on The Highroad. During its height the rest of the world was nothing more than disorganized tribes, just coming together to form fledgling nations. Karia grew incredibly strong and learned many secrets of the magics found on The Highroad, developing them into various schools and using them to bolster their strength and unsure their place in the future. However it was not to be. Karia's lust for power doomed it and in a horrid night of catastrophe the empire was brought to ruin. Only one knows of the horrors that befell Karia, a single survivor who escaped the doom that came to his brethren.

This nameless survivor traveled far to the north, crossing jungles and mountains, until he came to the fledgling nation of Istris. The man, near death, was nursed back to health by the kind Istrians. The people of Istris had already stumbled upon the magics of The Highroad and, fearing they may bring their own doom the same as Karia, the nameless survivor taught them not only how to control the magic, but also how to respect it.

Hoping that the tragedy that visited his home would never repeat itself, the nameless survivor continued north. Today, all four of The Highroad's nations have a legend of the nameless hero from the south who brought knowledge and magic to the people. They pass this legend down so future generations will always remember to respect the power of The Highroad's many schools of magic.

But as each nation outgrows its boarders, and tensions between them build, the legend may soon be cast aside…
