From the introduction:
Welcome to the world of Gloriana! Or, perhaps, is it welcome back? No matter, no matter.
Gloriana is a place of great ventures, variety, villains and valor! Mystery, magic, majesty and monsters await! Not to mention the puns.
Your journey here begins in the cursed land of Mordavia. Reminiscent of Eastern European folklore that you may be familiar with, Mordavia is filled with fears of vampires, cursed spirits, and werewolves. A single town, protected by ancient magics, eeks out an existence in the presence of the seeping evil of Avoozl.
The land is heavily forested, and filled with monsters of all stripes. Friends are few and far between. The oppressive darkness is palpable.
Here is the final resting place of the great Paladin Piotyr. Here Castle Borgov looms over the land. Here the gypsies travel in close-knit groups. Here wraiths and revenants roam.
