Didn't plan on doing another non-journel post so quickly as the game was today and I'd put this after that, but life happened and the session got moved to later in the week effectively meaning that I wasn't going to have anything up for a couple of days so I may as well try and tell you something about the Campaign world for Gulag.
Well for one thing the campaign takes place on the continent of Ark, a place of great magic and greater heroes, heroes such as Kyme and the Seven Swordsmen, The Pheonix Summoner, Cursed Nimrodel of the Woods, and the Dark lady, Esmerelda Wune.
In ages past, came the first Summoner, a mage capable of dragging forth the sleeping spirits of the world, and the true essence of the arcane planes, to wreak destruction. He razed a trail of chaos across the land before disappearing back into the wilderness.
It wasn't long before more summoners appeared, their powers capable of fightign armies evenly, the only way that the lords of each kingdom could see to protect themselves from these mages was to either send armies against them and pray that they would die through attrition, or to trick the summoner into a dangerous place and turn the land itself against them, flooding valleys, crushing them under avalances.
The various villagers quickly fell into a witch hunt in order to protect their homes, and holdings, both against the Summoners destruction and their lords extreme measures to stop the summoners. Anyone born with a summoners mark was quickly hunted down and killed, or imprisoned, leading to the remaining summoners to go into hiding.
It is into this world that the party is born, coming from all walks of life, a Drow running from home, a Soldier unfairly dismissed from his service, a Kobold hoping to redeem his race, a Demon-Hunter seeking vengeance, a Hengeyokai out discover the world, and his Protector, swaddled in steel.
