Sentient Tree
What, never seen a sentient, magical tree before?
The Mainland has never seen such horror since ancient days.
The Atlen Empire is located on the continent of Atlus, where the once primitive mankind settled after their native regions were destroyed and burnt by the other smarter and older races. That was the last time they had seen such terror. And so thousands of years later of peace and few wars, the Atlen Empire was formed. It was split into four provinces: the Highlands, the Southlands, the West and the Mainlands. Magic was discovered, people thrived and were happy, the population grew to hundreds of millions.
700 years later after its birth, the once great Atlen Empire was suddenly thrown into a state of chaos and disorder. Famine and disease scoured the lands. Harsh, unexpected winters killed off many people, like a child playing near an ant hill. Crime rates greatly increased. Religion and morals were abandoned, many became bandits. Civil wars had broken out all over. Public executions approved by the Emperor began taking place. Dark, evil creatures like vampires and spirits began to emerge. Many people believe these are the end days, signs of the end. That the Dark Gods had brought this day.
The story takes place in the Mainland province. You are one of the many who haven't died, yet.
