The players are all the 5th, 6th, 9th, or more sons and/or daughters of Minor nobility or High-ranking Knights in the kingdom of Edril. All of them have received training (their first level) where their parents could afford it, but are presumed not likely to marry better than the families current station or provide any useful noble function. They are coming of age(from 18 to 22-ish or equivalent depending on race), and being given a small stipend from their parents and summarily kicked to the curb to seek fortune and fame. It’s common for children of nobility that are coming of age, to get together and go ‘see the world’. Since they’ve all known each other for as long as you remember, it might not be too bad an idea to get together and do just that.
Edril was founded ages ago by an order of holy monks called ‘Edril’s Shields’. While they are not really monks, this is the name taken by the City Guard and standing army of Edril. The Lord of Edril is elected from one of the 7 Major Ducal houses; Blue, Gold, Red, Grey, Green, Black, and Silver. Elections occur on the death of the previous lord, the current lord is Duchess Blue, Krytia Alvatino.
Edril is home to numerous races, even some varient human races that keep to themselves, but it is all any of them have ever known, there are rumors of a ruined country to the north, and a country filled with elves beyond that. To the south is either jungles or desert, depending on which traders are present. To the east is said to be a Citidel of The Dragon Wars, surrounded by unending swamps. To the west at the end of the lands that pay taxes to Edril is the sea, and several port cities.
