Background
Five years ago, a party of adventurers destroyed THE TOWER OF BURSHAI, ending the effect of a centuries-long mirage arcane spell cast over large swaths of CENTRAL OMERIA. With the illusion dispelled, large deposits of EMERALD ODONBURGITE appeared all across the WEYSEVAIN COAST and THE DESOLATION DITIMAYA. The DINZERS OF ODONBURG, a powerful nation of spellcasters, blamed the event on a terrorist organization and promised to help "clean it up." Most of the Central Omerian nations agreed with the Dinzers' claim and vowed to stay out of their way. However, the city-state of ARRUQUETTA opposed the Dinzer's operation in Central Omeria, accusing the Dinzers of trying to monopolize the valuable material. Within a month, war broke out between the two nations. Soon, other nations joined in and now all of Omeria is locked in THE EMERALD WAR. Many Omerians believe that the Emerald War will be what leads Omeria and all of Casar to destruction, as foretold in THE HAND OF THE EIGHT PROPHECY.
As the battles rage on, the characters are invited to GREATWELL in THE SUMMER LAND. There, they will meet the warlock VADRIKEN who claims to have discovered a way to stop the war, and potentially the end of the world.
