"The Land of Ethaendra (E-tayn-dra), is a minuscule kingdom, a nation so rich and authoritative. Such prosperity is spent for the fabrication of cumbersome masterpieces of architecture, commonly occupied for residential and commercial intendments.
Solitary geography is the specialty of Ethaendran terrain. A vast island surrounded with a major arc of a mountain range, sanctioning a discontinuity to the ocean. This is the only extent in or out of the kingdom, considering sierra summits are impassible.
Humans are the only race that inhabit Ethaendra. Others like the elves, orcs, and goblins, settle in distant lands, and have their endemic empires.
The kingdom's military is defined. Warriors are armed with swords, crossbows, and analogous weapons. But for the Ethaendrans, strength shall not be appraised in plentitude. Equipped with deadly arcane and an enchanted navy all under the command of an archmage, no one dares to engage war with such a compelling nation.
King Harry II is the regnant ruler of the Kingdom, a man not so insightful, yet pragmatic, keeping arcane mastery only for his people. Viktor Anthrax, the Goblin Sovereign, insisted the Goblin Kingdom grasp the superior magic of Ethaendra, bartering their precocious weapons and towering piles of gold. King Harry refused, yet this only provoked the tyrant.
Viktor threatened to demolish every bit of the land. Ethaendrans acknowledge no fear, and shall be eager for combat to bulwark their nation, despite the low chance of victory.
The Goblin army is atrocious, and their superior technology should not be disparaged. When arcane power is grasped by the wrong hands, an all-powerful legion shall arise, potentially compelling disorder to the world.
No other civilization is dauntless to stand as the aegis of Ethaendra, on the grounds that Viktor warns to convey devastation to those who dare strife against him.
My home kingdom is bound to be crushed under the feet of the tyrant. Blood will be spilled, as soldiers die in honor, in a hopeless skirmish against the almighty Goblin Kingdom.
Countless thoughts intrigue me, and I am living in war time. I ambit to begin a journey throughout all of this incoming bloodshed, and create a tale that shall be told for generations onward."
-Arlon
