In this world, there are two major continents. I've been running a campaign on the eastern continent for several years now. THIS RP will take place on the western continent. All the player characters are from the east, and like everyone else there, do not know that there is another continent across the Great Ocean, due to the large distance in between them as well as terrible storms.
Some major factors in this setting:
-No humans or half humans. Long ago, the Humans achieved technological superiority over the rest of the races. According to history, they were driven to evil by their power, and conquered the entire eastern continent and enslaved the other races. This was the Era of the Empire, over a thousand years ago. For many decades, the races of the east lived under the oppressive tyranny of The Empire.
When the races finally rose up against their human masters, the war lasted for over a hundred years. Eventually, the Alliance of Freefolk broke the Empire's power, and overthrew the humans.
But this wasn't enough for some. Many races desired to eradicate the humans from the world. Former allies of the Humans, like the Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings, attempted to prevent this from happening, but ultimately failed. The last human settlement was razed about eight hundred years ago, and there have been only a handful of sightings since. Feeling like this genocide would return one day to exact terrible retribution, the High Elves and Halflings left the world to inhabit the Fey. There are still wood elves, dark elves, and various minor species of elves, but halflings are very rare.
After a century of darkness and depravity, the races started to sort themselves out, and peace has generally ruled for the past seven hundred or so years. There has been conflict of course, fueled by ambition and greed, but overall the continent has experienced a long era of growth and happiness. Humanity, though, has never returned to the East.
The characters are waking up inside a slaver ship. They were all taken prisoner by various means.
