Airon is an isolated kingdom. To the north and the south, great mountains form those borders. A lack of mountain passes combined with thick mists that come down from the peaks leave these mountains a mystery save to perhaps the dragons and the Gods that be.  To the east is the vast inland lake Aska, so large as to be still mostly unknown. To the west lies a Mishkal Desert, only a single trade route providing contact with the outside world. The weather is cool in the summers and cold in the winters, with year round wetness that turns to snow for five months of the year. It is an isolated kingdom, ruled over by the Wordspinner royal dynasty at the capital of Rubald, set against the eastern land's edge by Lake Aska.

Ten years ago, a fishing vessel thought lost in a storm limped back to Rubald. Only a handful of sick, scurvy ridden seamen returned, but spoke of lands far to the east. A wild, untamed land, or so they claimed.  Lands where gold sat on the riverbanks to be taken and honey flowed from the trees! Soon all of Airon was abuzz with great and tall stories of this faraway land. King Askander sponsored a great shipbuilding push, with the goal to sail over and find these riches. In eight years his will was done, a small armada of ships needing two months to cross Lake Aska. They found a fertile land, coastal planes. But yet the talk of riches seems overblown. Despite that, the treasure seekers settles down and in time began to become colonists in New Rubald. Rumors of possible natives past the immediate area abound, and the King has ordered another ship to bring over more settles and a few soldiers.

This is where the story begins.

This isn't very in depth - it's giving you a lot of room to work a background with. Feel free to take some liberties with this. It will be defined better in game once I know what you two are shooting for. Feel free to ask questions.
