 his campaing takes place long, long ago.
In a time before the Dragon Flights arrived, and burnt our world to cinders.
Before the Knights of Lavinier broke the thralldom of the Gnomes.
And before the last bloodline of the Elves left this world for good.
This is the legend of the new world - Terra Nova. The legend of the heroic people who made possible
the discovery of the virgin lands, and thereby the key to our very survival.
But this is also a story of great sorrow, and even greater sacrifice - a story of deception and betrayal.

he story starts in the small town of Ghan Finnan,
sitting quietly between the Bugbear Hills, and Lake Fashmore.
You must remember, dear reader, that this is before our heroes discover the dark truth about their fate - but
also before they recover any of the artifacts that much of this story revolve around.
Our main antagonist, hasn't visited our plane for hundreds of years, and the plague hasn't broken out yet.
But I digress ...

 ho are our Heroes then ?
Our heroes are a mismatched lot; The dispossessed noble, who proclaims himself to be no more than a lowly fighter - yet his manners constantly giving him away.
The outcast "mongrel", a huge man, who moves with the grace and elegance of an elf, while sometimes wearing the face of a man, and sometimes the face of a feral beast.
The Dwarf - a man of the cloth, a peaceful man, a man with patience, stamina and endurance, far beyond most creatures - Yet sometimes, late at night when he tells of his clan, of his people from the huge mountains far to the north, a strange blaze can be seen deep in his eyes - burning with a brighness and fury, that tells everyone "this is no ordinary dwarf".
- And who can avoid noticing the magician ?

hat great challenges lies ahead, you ask ?
The answer to this question can never be finite - as the future holds no promises, only prophesies. But many challenges are already rising to meet our heroes:
In the south, Cardinal Wayar - a man so powerful and influential, that only the pope and the high lord inquisitor-paladin dare meet his gaze - is scheming to rule the world.
In the east, a mighty tribe united their homeland, and is now setting out to conquer their known world.
On the frozen wasteland of the north, the dwarven people stands before their greatest battle in centuries - only outside heroes can assure their victory over the hordes of hades.
Will the heroes of this tale rise to meet these great challenges - or will they forever aspire only to be a footnote in history ? Only time will tell.
