Reforge the Chain[edit]

Seventy years ago, King Isadoro Falibus died under mysterious circumstances. Without the strength of will and arms he imposed on the land, the Kingdom of Chains (so named because Falibus rose from slavery to become King) fell into squabbling and to humanoid hordes. It became a land of petty fiefdoms and great danger, with adventurers often the only recourse of justice as well as the greatest scourge. Still, good people, or at least ones of vision and who seek to promote Law, exist, and these people are the ones who can reforge the chain which previously held the realm secure and safe.
