Once, Seshnela was the heart of an Empire that stretched across the world. It received tribute from two continents, from across the West, and from the distant Orient. Its Emperors were perhaps the richest men in world history. Its wizards probed into every corner of the magical world, always seeking to learn more. But, in the end, they probed too far, the universe rebelled, and the Empire fell.
Now the new Kingdom of Seshnela, forged in the name of the powerful and austere Rokari Church, stands poised at the brink of another great change, one that could see the Empire restored - or their dreams of divine unity shattered forever.
Seshnela is a land of knights and wizards, of humble peasants and demure damsels. It is a rich land, of cities and farms, of castles and wild forests. Ancient ruins are everywhere, reminders of past glory, and repositories of forbidden, ancient lore, and of their terrible inhuman guardians. Heretics scheme to undermine the foundations of the Church, and witches cackle in the shadows, cursing the faithful.
"One God, One Church, One King!" cry the Rokari, and the people of Seshnela assemble under the banner of the flamesword and the symbol of the Church, ready to bring unity to the world. Whether it wants it or not.
