Iron and Shadow

Shadows coil around the lands of men, seeking to snuff out the light that remains. In the Iron Kingdom, old wounds are broken open as the land seeks to heal itself. Rebellion rears its ugly head, while the nation recovers from its most savage war in recorded history. The Iron King, seeming less a man, and more a figure from legend, seeks vengeance and further war, while those around him doubt the future that such wars will bring. The orcs, though defeated, are far from finished, and rallying anew, seek further destruction. Their hunger for bloodshed seemingly undiminished, the savage creatures rally once more, while in the south, ancient machinations come to light, undermining the very fabric of proud realms that have stood for a thousand years or more. The alien and unknowable designs of the Hidden One finally begin to come to light and a plan that spans the ages begins to take shape. It is a time of great upheaval and great valor. A time when anything is possible and forgotten magics reshape what is possible. Only in the darkest dreams of draconian minds can such events be imagined, and the world will never be the same.
