Kavik is a wasteland of fire and brimstone, home to only abominations, destruction and charred corpses of once adventurous/idiotic men and woman. It was said that once Kavik was a fertile place, where humans used to live, but circumstances unknown to any living creature utterly destroyed the land. But in destruction, a new home was made, Kavas.
Habitable islands were found above the putrid and dark clouds of Kavik, islands that ranged from as big as a house to as large as a country. The former inhabitants of Kavik had found salvation, or so they thought. Upon spreading across the various islands they discovered (With the aid of air ships), they met other species, some being friendly and others being very hostile.
After some time the humans had managed to find empty islands, where they set up their new foundations and began to prosper, soon managing to form a formidable 'empire of their own' thanks to being introduced to new technology from the other races. In only a hundred years later, they had managed to move past the threat of extinction they had faced before. But it was then, that SHE appeared.
Islands were engulfed in flames, fleets were turned to scrap and blood rained upon Kavas. The source of the powerful attacks wasn't hard to find, she struck hard, fast and made sure to make sure she was noticed. A creature had come from the depths beneath Kavas with a legion of abominations at it's beck and call, forming an near invincible force that couldn't even be dented by any of Kavas's people.
The creature announced itself as Salvanis, though many came to call her various other names (The Horned Demon, Shedevil, Banshee of Demise, ect). Her origins are shrouded in mystery, with only speculations to her motives, while she outright states that she is amused by watching others struggle, everyone looks for a deeper meaning. Some say she was the cause of the cataclysm that made the wasteland of Kavik and came to finish the job, others say that she was made from the event, inflicting some sort of vengeance against those she thinks caused it.
When she saw how easy it was to decimate every island she came across with her armies and mystical powers, she stopped her attack and made an offer. Every fifty years she would purposely weaken her own forces and allow her enemies the chance to directly attack her lair and kill her, but she would only give this chance to a small amount of adventurers, Kavas best of the best. So, she would hold a tournament that tested everyone who entered to find the so called best, this tournament would end with five total teams that would work together to vanquish her.
It has been this way for over fifty generations, not one team has managed to take the demon's head, nor has many survived. Ones that have are usually walking with less wishes to go back, some even have known to lose their mind and memories or are added to Salvanis's roster of abominations. Some have tried to attack Salvanis with more then just five small teams, but have only met failure. The lair she reveals changes locations each time a team enters.
Can you be the lucky set of madmen that take the Banshee's head and all the glory that comes with it?
