From the draconic First Men and their dragon allies to the evil and mysterious Markrabs who engulfed the world in the Uttermost War; from the Ancient Kelnorian Empire, the Orichalan Dragon Lords and the very gods themselves who immersed the lands in the War of the Pious and Philosophers to the current struggle between Viridistan and the emerging city states, the Wilderlands is a place of conflict, fallen empires and disparate cultures and races. The feel is one of a world in decline, filled with ruins and ancient mystery. In many places, civilization is just beginning to return.
