The Kingdom of Tursh lies upon the northeast tip of the crescent shaped continent of Hylrexia. It is a lush and green land filled with many rivers and lakes. The kingdom finds itself recovering after two hundred years of plagues followed by another one hundred and twenty of hedonistic nobles on the throne. A new king wears the crown and carries with him the light of hope for a better future.

The kingdom is split in twain, both figuratively and literally. In the more “civilized” east, wealth and privilege have created a climate of decadence among the nobility and a life of squalor for the peasantry who have come to think of themselves more as prey than sentient creatures. In the northeast, the paranoid religious rhetoric of the Duchy of Gwen threatens to engulf the region in civil war, while the Duchy of Aslyn in the southeast shows signs of a cultural renaissance.
