The Rising Threat, the noice of silence.

The Orcs and Trolls, who had long roamed the fringes of Aedelore, hardened by centuries of survival in harsh, unforgiving lands, saw the arrival of the Halflings as an opportunity. They believed that the Halflings, with their deep connection to the earth, held the key to unlocking the powerful magics that had been denied to them for so long. 

Driven by this belief, the Orcs and Trolls launched raids into Halfling lands, seeking to capture them and force them to reveal their secrets. The Halflings, though peaceful, were not defenseless. They called upon the new found kin seeking aid from the Elves and Dwarves, who had also begun to feel the growing tension in the land. The Elves, who had once shunned the world to rebuild their magical heritage, recognized the threat posed by the Orcs and Trolls and put their forces at the Halflings aid. The Dwarves, who had honed their craft and deepened their knowledge during the Age of Silence, forged powerful weapons and armor to aid in the coming conflict.

Yet, the Halflings knew that war could not be the answer. They sought a way to prevent the violence from spiraling out of control, to find a path to peace before the fires of war consumed Aedelore once more. They turned to the Great Tree of Morningstar, seeking its guidance, not knowing that the Great Tree was directly connected to the councioness of the ancient gods. The Great Tree, ancient and wise, revealed to them the true nature of the magic that was awakening in the world.

It was not a force to be wielded in anger, but a power to heal the wounds of the past and to bring the races of Aedelore together. But in The Northern Marches, once a realm of rugged beauty and love, are now fraught with turmoil as the Orcs and trolls extend their attacks northward. The region, long known for its harsh landscapes and resilient inhabitants, is plunged into fear and dispair. Villages and outposts are overrun, and the lands are scarred by relentless conflict.

In response, the people of Lutovia, a distant realm of Humans known for their valor and unity, embark on a critical mission. They gather their forces and set out to confront the joint threat from the Orcs and Trolls, aiming to stem the tide of war before it spreads further.
