Since ancient times, the dense forests, remote mountain valleys, and mysterious clearings at the foot of the volcanic Gray Ridge have never lost their character as borderlands. Those who settled here or still do must possess self-sufficiency, resilience, skill, and a touch of madness to succeed or at least survive longer. For it is not only the untamed nature with its beasts and other challenges or rival gangs of marauders that test mortals, but above all, life in the shadow of three mythical creatures entangled in a merciless struggle against each other, where mortals are at best mere pawns, but more often just victims. Yet, adventurers and explorers continually seek the uncharted to obtain alchemical ingredients from the volcanoes or parts of magical creatures.
