The New Kingdom of Humanity

Prologue

On Oron, there were 5 major sections, The Elven Kingdoms, to the East, The Dragon Lands, of the South, the Giant's Realms, of the north, the Dwarven Holds, making a line nearly down the center of the continent, and then, there was the Empty Quarter, a section of land that very little, it was open hilly lands, that were blocked by mountains on 3 sides. The Dwarves had little care for it, the Giants and Dragons didn't desire it, so it remained empty.

True, over the centuries of the expansion of the Kingdoms of the Civilized Races, they had pushed the......Savage races into the quarter. They even would have forces launch raids into the lands to ensure no force could rise from the lands.

The only place that is shared, by all races, is the Under Dark, with it being the crossroads of the world in many ways, the best way to describe it is being areas held, by kingdoms, as no one truly controls the Underdark.

However, A city of the Elven kingdom of Fathhil would see a strange sight. In the dead of the night, the Empty Quarter glowed, then flashed, as if the Sun it self was rising from the lands. The strange glow would remain for a time, until the sun rose, a patrol would later see a flying object. 

In Fathhil's Capital city, a crier was standing on the street corner.

"Mercenaries are being sought after to investigate the mysterious lights and sightings of the Empty Quarter. A reward will be given to those hired and who bring back valuable information on the new discoveries of the Empty Quarter." the crier shouted. 

One member of the crowd would walk to a tavern, and meet up with their friends.

"It's a simple job. We could easily find out what's there, we get to kill some goblins, some cat people, get some pelts to sell, it's a job where we get paid no matter what." The elf said.

"Oh? So we are just going into the Savage lands? Well, let get signed up." A pixie of the group said.

They would go and reach the Adventurer guild, signing up for the mission, they were given transportation to the Outpost on the edge of the Empty Quarter. Upon departing the outpost, the party of 4, known as "Vanya's Vanguards".

As they explored out, riding in a cart, they saw a cloud of dust rising from the hills.  Vanya raised her shield, before a magic dome appeared around them, they all stood inside, until a group of horsemen rode around the group, circling, kicking up dust, before stopping. 

Vanya and her party looked around, before they saw people on horses, in what looked like plate armor, and cloth still exposed, one with a wide hat, and a colored feather was in his hat.

He looked at them, holding a wand like object. The Pixie, Sona, raised her staff and aimed it at the man. A fireball began to form, before the wand wielding man and suddenly shot smoke and Sona fell, a wing clipped, she fell.

"Best you avoid fighting. We out number you 10 to 1. Now, tell us. What be you?" The man asked, as he pulled out a different metal wand.
