[indent][color=fff79a][sub]PLOT[/sub][/color][/indent]
[indent]The kingdom of Ovyadell used to be a sprawling, elven kingdom. Its lands had been rich and fertile, the skies a beautiful azure blue, the sea that ran alongside the kingdom calm and placid. Then the sea grew dark and cold; its gentle waves grew rough and harsh winds blew in from the open waters. The elves moved inland, nearer to the borders, where Ovyadell still held some of its beauty, and left Ironkeep and all surrounding cities to the race of men.[/indent]

[indent]The great kings and queens of men moved built Eastormel Castle on the outskirts of Ironkeep. Its sturdy stone walls stand unyielding against the winds and rains of the Ashen Sea. It was thought to be impenetrable. It [i]was[/i] impenetrable for many years, until the reign of King Silas. A thief had somehow managed to slip unnoticed through the ancient halls, and when their boldness grew, they stole the Dark Dagger.[/indent]

[indent]Enraged, the King offered a job, a reward for any who would be willing to find the Dark Dagger and return it to him. On the day of the meeting, he had his guards open the castle gates and allow any and all inside who wished to test their luck. All that was left was for someone to find the dagger.[/indent]

[i][indent]Ovyadell[/indent][/i][indent]Ovyadell, once home to the elves, is situated against the Ashen Sea. Before the waters turned harsh, it was a beautiful kingdom: Fields of green grasses and colorful wildflowers that stretched for miles, ancient forests whose boughs and branches creaked and swayed in the breeze. After, however, it became a cold place. Rain always pours and brutal winds always batter the land. The elves left it to the race of men, choosing to move farther inland to escape the sea's wrath.[/indent]

[i][indent]Ironkeep[/indent][/i][indent]Ironkeep is the capital of Ovyadell and is situated closest to the Ashen Sea. Because of this, it receives the worst of the rains and winds. Its people, however, are resilient and manage to carve out a life for themselves.[/indent]

[i][indent]Eastormel Castle[/indent][/i][indent]Eastormel Castle was built after the elves had left the area that was later renamed Ironkeep. Years of harsh winds and rains have worn away at the stone, yet it still stands proud. Its western walls overlook the Ashen Sea.[/indent]

[i][indent]The Underground[/indent][/i][indent]The Underground lies just outside Ovyadell's borders. Though it belongs to no one, everyone is in silent agreement that the lands fall under Ovyadell's rule. It is a stretch of barren wasteland that is home to the scum of the earth. Murderers, bandits, and thieves alike use it as a place of rest and to fence their stolen goods.[/indent]
