Basic Setting

Asteran - The kingdom in which Balthan resides. A fairly big, landlocked kingdom. You are all Asteranians. It's generally peaceful but is currently at war with the belligerent, warmongering, just general asshole of a country Dunkul.They were unwarrantedly attacked by Dunkul's ferocious Vizier of War, Kadrothel. This is but the latest in a string of malicious land-grabbing attacks in the recent years of Dunkul's rage-fueled expansionist mission.

Balthan: A quiet settlement about a day's ride from the capital city of Asteran, Asteran City. A small urban trading hub, it's one of the larger towns surrounding Asteran and there's a flow of goods and traffic in and out of the city. Also, there are some sheep. Not lots, just some. It's boring. There are rumors of a recently-found tomb in Balthan that as of yet no adventurer has been able to crack. The rumors indicate great treasures await the adventurer(s) strong and clever enough to discover its secrets.
