It’s about time I write up the intro for my FAE game, so here it is:
At the height of its power, the Shiandi Empire stretched as far as anyone had dared to tread, from Paperclip across the Southern Gorge, to the far Northwestern corner. Where the Empire went, roads and new settlements grew, and soon, trade and prosperity flourished among the peoples of the Carpet.
That was generations ago. Since then, the Capitol has drawn in on itself, leaving the outlying towns and villages to fend for themselves. The Rangers, once seen as keepers of the peace and explorers, have not been heard from in decades. Roads have fallen into disrepair, and wild animals have been encroaching ever closer. Worse still, the Fray comes from the East, heralded by the cultists of Moul.
The prophet Prismire foretells of a great doom that will befall any who stay in the small village of Wayside. But, he also tells of a legend about one of the founders of the village, Snibril, who is said to have explored farther than any other Ranger. In Snibril’s journal, he wrote of a place, far beyond Shiandi, a land of plenty. His journal says that he left his symbol at the start of the trail he took to find this land, so that those who come after will know the way. It may be the only chance the Carpet People have of survival.
