Into the Age of the Gods - IC
Two years ago, the well-loved King Zurdir died after ruling the Kingdom of Mirne for twenty years. He left no heir, and the land degenerated into a civil war, with several factions, some dominated by Zurdir's vassals, some by brigands, and some by resourceful adventurers from the neighboring of Srhed.
For two years the war has gone on, until what seems like a peace has come: Mvass, a warrior and spellcaster of unknown origins gained the trust of one of the lords. During a battle, the lord was slain, and Mvass took control of his faction. Eventually, the faction gained more and more ground, and, at the Battle of Highpass, Mvass triumphed over his enemies, signed a peace, and appeared to become the new King.
Meanwhile, there were strange things going about. From the neighboring land of Srhed, there were first strange rumors and then an actual working example of a ranged weapon called a gun. The wizards of both lands, though, said that it was nonsense and would never be able to compete with magic, nor even have the effectiveness of an enchanted bow, being much more difficult to enchant. The Dwarves of the nearby Underland Clanbind, however, said that the invention had great promise, and began to work on it.
However, a few days before Mvass was to be crowned, he noticed that there was a strange man in his chamber. He quickly realized that the man was an assassin. After killing the intruder, Mvass went out of his chamber, and was attacked by the guards that were supposed to protect his room. After most of the castle guards began to chase after him, Mvass realized that he undermined by somebody, and fled, eventually arriving at a faraway village.
