100 years ago an explosion of pure magic shook the entire continent. Magic users of every style lost their ability to cast even the simplest of spells. Priests and clerics cannot feel the presence of their gods. For the next 30 years man, beasts and nature go crazy and entire kingdoms are ravaged by every known disaster. Things eventually settled down and new kingdoms rise from the ashes, but nothing is heard from the western lands. King Rarmor II has decided that with the kingdom now settled, it is time to find out what happened. He selects a group of stalwart adventurers to go and find out. Maybe this time the group will return with answers.
