The Hyborian Age

A vast, untamed world spreads beneath a sky of shifting continents, where once‑great kingdoms such as Valusia, Grondar and Commoria cling to a crumbling Thurian civilization. Their peoples share a common tongue yet differ in pride, ambition, and the fragile luxuries of empire. Beyond their borders lie the fierce Picts of distant islands, the enigmatic Atlanteans of a sunken continent, and the mysterious Lemurians scattered across far‑flung archipelagos. In the wild deserts, jungles, and towering mountains, countless tribes and savage clans eke out a brutal existence, their lives a stark contrast to the fading splendor of the civilized realms.

When a cataclysmic upheaval shatters the old order—sinking continents, raising islands into mountain peaks, and drowning cities—the balance of power is thrown into chaos. The barbarian peoples, though battered, survive the upheaval better than their cultured counterparts, retreating to rugged frontiers and new lands. In the aftermath, strange flora and feral beasts reclaim the ruins, setting the stage for a new age of adventure and conflict.
