History

Once, there was a utopia of peace and abundance abound. But this tranquillity abruptly ended when the rulers of the leading nations succumbed to greed and ambition, using tyranny to destroy the land and enslave its people. Three hundred years have now passed and the technological feats of the civilised races have all but been forgotten; save for relics which have survived the passing of time. Stories of the Great War that ended civilisation still exist from varying perspectives; spread amongst the various warrior tribes whose ancestors survived those dark times. Though the stories may vary from realm to realm, they each share at least one commonality: the rumoured existence of a hidden kingdom that flourished in the aftermath. It is said that the few more virtuous leaders of the warring nations set their differences aside and cloistered in an unexplored and wild land. They turned their backs to the inevitable destruction that was to consume their greedy brothers and sisters. They separated themselves from the war; and in secret, began building a new kingdom… the Kingdom of Providence.

This kingdom however is no myth. It is as prosperous and awe-inspiring as the legends describe. Three hundred years after those devastating wars, the new rulers have begun to rebuild what was once lost, and now call upon heroes to serve as 'Hall Lords'; protectors of the Kingdom of Providence. Those brave enough to serve as Hall Lords have been tasked with leading an army of warriors into the now feral wilderness to spread word of a new era and to seek out priceless artefacts of lost knowledge.

With the inception of this task however, many Providian lords quickly came to realise that they were not the only survivors… the dark power which served as a catalyst to the destruction three hundred years ago, still lurks in the shadows. It burgeons; its grip still strong on the will of those who have succumbed to the whims of evil. The task is great. Unite under the banner of righteousness. Only then can peace and prosperity return to the people of Providence.
