Hail Traveler and welcome to Wisrtum, (pronounced Wizzer'Tumb) a classical fantasy world with dragons, wizards; dark and sinnister villans; and rag-tag defenders of good. It is an epic world where empired rise and fall like the rising of the sun, and the going down of the same.
Just what is classical fantasy anyway? This, fellow traveler, is fantasy with a medeval feel: spiced by magic; darkened by truly evil villans; and cast in a rough, edgy tone. It is a world filled with: Drawves, Elves, Gnomes, and Orcs along-side Human men. A world of crafty political intrigue, war, and trechary. This world is vast, and expansive: great floating island-states ruled by corrupt mages, deep-delving tunnles mined by greedy Dwarves, and some dark planes where magic can harldy be wielded at all by mere men.
