Welcome to an Age of Heroes
In Taara's wake the earth crumbled. Gods fell, others rose, and the race of mankind looked forward and saw the destruction of nations. For five years, necrotech seared the world's landscape and forces unknown decimated the once-insurmountable Walls of Charn. Nations turned against one another with the vanishing of monarchs--brother to brother and kin to kin. During the struggles, the nation of Dragonier attempted to keep the peace before it, too, fell. Other nations threatened to follow.
Now returned from the Mists, Alexandria finds itself thrown into a world in turmoil. In this world, the Pantheon of Light strides forward in anger, the Twilight fall into debate, and the forces of Darkness are locked in a war between Maugrim and Taara. High arcana soars over the landscape with the renewed activity of the Old Races, while guilds and organizations struggle to find their footing with the fall of Rune. The elves and dwarves have moved forward into the world once again, driven by the perceived neglect of the world by humankind.
The world had waited for the return of Alexandria and the return of the Myrrish and Bludgun kings for five years--only to find Alexandria suddenly returned unchanged, and unknowing, from the Land of Mists. To Alexandria, the War of Sendor is just days past. To the world--
It is the time for heroes.
New Players: Getting into the Game
If you're new, why not start with Getting Started? Our Theme Guide aims to get you on your feet quickly by providing an "overall" view of the setting. Alexandria is our core setting where much of the day-to-day RP takes place. Races talks about our world's inhabitants. You can also learn about their beliefs, check out the player-made lexicon, and explore the Pathfinder rules system, which is available for free online.
We encourage you to play what you're interested in, with the following caveat: we do not allow evil PCs. It's something we've tried in the past--it just hasn't worked. If you're looking to find out what the most popular races and classes are, or "what's needed," login and type +census.
Once you're established, you're welcome to record yourself on the Wall of Heroes by making a Character Page. You'll need a forum ID and password to login, so be sure to request one of those at the end of Chargen.

"The roads shall be painted teal!" announced the maddened hobgoblin king. And lo, his subjects bowed before him, and all roads from Hither to Yon became teal with bright green roses.
Recent Rumors in Alexandria
Ceriday, Bernfleur 09, 1013
Tragedy struck the Myrrish celebration this last Kesenday. The Magistrate held a celebration for the men and women who had worked so hard to make Sendor possible, and found himself nearly poisoned. The poisoning was averted thanks to the acts of several quick-thinking guests. No one has yet claimed responsibility, though the name of the foul god Gunahkar has been spoken by more than one set of lips.

"If you go there, you hire someone. You hire alot of someones, and even then? Even then you think about it," are the reports heard from merchants when there isn't outright refusal. The latest is a barrel-chested dwarf with bristling beard and the wide stance of his race. His name is Cal Stonecutter, and he represents the last in a long line of attempted travelers to the pass near the Crumbled Tower. His race makes it all the more remarkable.
Since Taara's Revenge, the dwarves have taken the lead in recovery efforts and exploration. Their stalwart caravans travel on roads no other man would dare. In recent years, they emerged from their Mountain on a quest to reforge communities and bring trade and food to areas nearly fogotten and decimated in 5 years of destruction and chaos.
For Cal to take such a stance, the Pass must be bad. As he says this, the banner of Reos the Builder flaps in the wind behind him. Many of the dwarves march under Him, though of late a new face has been seen, too. A symbol with two gladius' and a spear crossed over a round shield. They call Her the "Rising Dawn."
Other reports continue to trickle in.
