Story
Llylgamyn is no longer what it used to be. The kingdom has fallen and its people have moved on. Five generations after the defeat of the Maelstrom, a new king was born. He was so popular that the royal family was once again given a place in the political system of Llylgamyn. Eventually, the council decided to disband and restore the sole rule of the royal family. It did not take long for the king's true colors to emerge. Rumors quickly spread throughout the kingdom about his alliance with demonic beings and his preoccupation with the dark arts. It was whispered about his queen that she was a perverted whore who tortured the men of the kingdom for her own pleasure. In order to gain more power, the king teamed up with an unknown sorcerer. Together they began to wage a magical war on other planes of existence. During one of their battles, they became aware of an artifact of astonishing power. The Cosmic Forge. The Cosmic Forge is a magical feather of divine power. No one knows exactly where it came from, but it is said that all words written with the pen are woven into the fabric of the universe and thus become reality. The king and the wizard managed to obtain the pen, and they wrote things so unspeakable that no human could even imagine the horrors. Fortunately, the two soon became jealous of the power they had discovered, and they engaged in an epic battle. Legends say that the lights of magic could be seen flashing in the windows of the castle and the ground shook. Eventually it fell silent and neither the king nor the wizard were ever seen again. That was almost one hundred and twenty years ago. The kingdom no longer exists, only a few remember its name. No one knows what happened to the king, the wizard or the feather. But now a group of adventurers enter the old castle and everything is about to change....
