What is the setting?
Explore Saross – an Imperial province that was once a proud sovereign kingdom. Torn between its ancient traditions and foreign rule, Saross is a land of mystery, conflict, and adventure. The setting draws inspiration from Central European folklore and the classic sword & sorcery tales of the West, blending grounded, mythic storytelling with dark magic, political intrigue, and forgotten ruins waiting to be uncovered.
