a Fellowship campaign

The World

A Land of Order . . .

Harmonia is a land of order and stability. A single continent over two thousand miles across, it floats in the endless Sea of Chaos. At the land’s center grows Yggdrasil, the mighty Tree of Order, lending strength and stability to the world. Its influence binds sworn oaths and supports the divine right of kings, weaving patterns of order in the fabric of the world itself.

But even the best intended order and law can be taken to extremes. Law can corrupt into arbitrary rules or foul tyranny; caution and stability can become reactionary stagnation and xenophobia. Law unbound can be just as dangerous as chaos.

An Agent of Chaos . . .

When order turns to stagnation, the World-Breaker arises. A mortal who becomes imbued with the forces of chaos, a master of forbidden magics, the World-Breaker is a demigod of anarchy, a lord of unrule. In his presence laws crumble, oaths are broken, and order turns to disorder. His rise heralds a time of danger and discord, as rulers are toppled, nations reordered, and all that once was stable and sure is called into question.

Despite the destruction that attends him, the World-Breaker is not a force of evil any more than he is of good. He brings inspiration and entropy in equal measure, creativity and destruction; he inspires slaves to break their chains and anarchs to burn down cities.

A Cycle Broken . . .

Under normal circumstances, the World-Breaker arises every few centuries, allowing the world time to heal in between his visitations. Laws are codified, patterns become ingrained, new thoughts and ideas and inventions are worked and worried over, so that by the time he returns, the world is beginning once more to slowly lapse into stagnation and stifling over-order. It is a cycle so grand only the elves and the dragons witness it in full.

But now, the cycle has been broken. Although the World-Breaker was defeated only a few decades ago, all the signs point to his return again. The world, not yet healed from the wounds of his last visit, reels under the impending assault as laws and oaths begin to fray, as revolutions rise like mushrooms after a rain and predictions and prophecies become vain.

Comes the World-Breaker

If Harmonia is to survive this broken cycle then the Lord of Chaos must be stopped, unity forged out of discord, and hope brought forth from the ashes of a burned world. In a land of shattered law and rising chaos, what heroes will stand against the World-Breaker?
